Thank you for purchasing the Abs & Arms Toning Belt.
The Abs & Arms Toning Belt is extremely easy to use with automatic features, simple operation keys
and an easy to read informative display. The 6 programmes take you through various levels of exercise
and are optimized to give you a tighter, firmer stomach and to tone your arms easily and effectively.
How does the Abs & Arms Toning Belt work?
The Abs & Arms Toning Belt works on the principle of EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). It generates
safe, gentle electrical pulses that are delivered onto your skin through the pads placed on the inside of
the belt. These electrical pulses activate the nerves which control the muscles. The pulses generated
have been designed to imitate natural muscular contractions, which are effective and comfortable.
The programmes send out the pulses at regular intervals, which contract and relax the muscles, in a
similar way to doing regular exercise.
How does it feel?
To begin with the pulses give a mild tingling sensation and as the intensity is increased you will start
to notice muscle contractions. Contraction and relaxing periods vary depending on the programme
used. The muscle contractions are smooth and each contraction will start with a slow rise, hold itself
in a contracted position for a few seconds and then gently relax.

Toning arms only
Plug one end of the connecting lead into each
arm toner (either socket) and the other end into
the output socket on the top of the control unit.
Both arm toners can be connected at the same
time.
Toning abs only
Locate the connecting lead from within the
side pocket. The lead extends to 60cm and will
auto-retract. Plug the connecting lead into either
socket on the top of the control unit.
Getting Started
Belt & Arm Toner set-up
The Abs & Arms Toning Belt is designed to fit a wide range of waist sizes from 27” to 63”. To increase
the size of the Ab Belt, use the Belt Extension supplied.
1. Make sure the unit is switched off. If you have switched on the unit accidentally, then switch it off
by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Locate the 2 output sockets on top of the control unit.
3. Choose your toning workout:
Toning abs & arms
Both the ab belt and arm toner can be used
together, however, you will notice a reduction
in a maxiumum intensity level. Run the ab belt
from one output socket on the control unit. Then
use one of the connecting leads to link the two
arm toners and the other lead to connect to the
control unit.

Fitting pads and belt placement
1. Connect each pad using the metal poppers. Remove the clear plastic pad protector (keep for
replacing after use). If the pad loses its stickyness/moistness, dampen with a few drops of water.
Ensure both pads are fitted to the ab belt and 2 pads are used with each arm toner.
2. Important: When positioning the belt on the body make sure the pads remain connected to the
poppers.
3. Place the belt centrally around the waist. Ensure the pads make
good contact with the skin. For larger waist sizes, use the belt
extender.
4. When using the arm toner, place the main pad over the bicep
muscle.
5. Once positioned correctly, refer to the Operating Guide.

Operating Guide
Operation
1. Only switch the unit on when wearing the ab belt or arm toners and you have checked that the pads
are in contact with the skin. Switch on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Select the workout programme by pressing the MODE button.
3. Press the INT-UP button to increase the intensity - the intensity has 10 steps. To decrease the
intensity, press the INT-DOWN button.
4. You will notice a tingling sensation prior to the muscle contracting. Adjust the intensity according
to your comfort level. You should feel a strong but comfortable contraction of the muscles.
5. The frequency has 10 steps. Press the FRE-UP button to increase. To decrease press the FRE-DOWN
button.
6. To switch the unit off, press the ON/OFF button.
Important Tips
• When moving the belt, make sure that the pads remain attached to the poppers.
• Always make sure that the pads are sticky/moist before use.
• If your skin turns red or there is irritation, stop using the belt for a little while until the irritation goes
away. Sometimes this is caused by moist electrodes drying up.
• Occasionally the body develops excessive oils on the skin and this could inhibit pulse conduction.
Cleaning the skin area with a warm damp cloth before using the belt is a good solution.
• When you put the belt on, make sure that the electrodes are in good contact with your skin and the
belt is firmly placed around your stomach.
• Always have a resting period of at least 4 hours between work-outs.
Exercise Guidance
We suggest that you start with a mild workout and change to more intense programmes later. Within
the first week you should give your muscles time to adjust to the new work-out. Use the unit once or
twice (with a minimum of 4 hours resting in-between) a day for a maximum of 12 minutes. After that,
you can use the belt for a maximum of 30 minutes, 3 times a day.
