Der EasyMotionSkin uses the effective electromyostimulation method or
electro muscle stimulation (EMS) for high intensity training units.
The EasyMotionSkin is a highly efficient training system consisting of the
MotionSkin with PowerBox, which communicates with an tablet /
smartphone via Bluetooth®. Low frequency electrical impulses
(electromyostimulation) are controlled using an EasyMotionSkin
application, thus stimulating practically the entire musculature.
Originally developed for therapeutic and rehabilitation purposes, the
EasyMotionSkin uses this technology for high-efficiency training results in
short periods.
INFORMATION
The EasyMotionSkin is an EMS training device
exclusively for people.
To avoid accidents and to guarantee full
functionality of the EasyMotionSkin, a well-
fitting MotionSkin of the correct size must be
used.
Even when used appropriately, there are some risks associated with the
EasyMotionSkin. These are described below.
To reduce the risks of personal injury or damage to property, and to avoid
any hazardous situations, the safety instructions in the manual must be
strictly observed.

Where Lithium Ion batteries are used wrongly or improperly (e.g. broken,
decomposed, exposed to fire or high temperatures) they can catch fire,
explode or cause a fire.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury from damaged or open
batteries
Batteries contain flammable of irritating
solutions and lithium salts, which can cause
irritation to the skin, eyes and the mucous
membrane in the event of a leak.
When batteries bleed, the vapours emitted can
be a health hazard.
•Keep away from heat, open flames and
corrosive liquids.
•Do not punch, break or burn.
•Avoid vapour contact with the skin, eyes and
do not inhale.
•To extinguish a fire, conventional
extinguishing materials may be used (such as
ABC powder, CO2extinguisher or water).
•In case of contact with released electrolytes,
gases or fire bproducts by the eyes,
1. Rinse thoroughly with water for at least
15 minutes and consult a doctor if
necessary.
2. Remove clothing from contaminated
skin and rinse thoroughly with water for
at least 15 minutes, consult a doctor if
necessary.
3. Ensure fresh air can reach the patients’
airways and keep them calm. Monitor
breathing and circulation, consult a
doctor if necessary.

The PowerBox features an internal chargeable battery.
INFORMATION
Charge for 10 hours before using for the first
time
Please charge the PowerBox for at least 10 hours
before using it for the first time.
Only use the power supply unit supplied to
charge the PowerBox.
This is how you charge the battery in the PowerBox:
1. Ensure that the PowerBox is not connected to a MotionSkin.
2. Connect the PowerBox to a socket using the power supply
unit supplied.
The following status is displayed when the PowerBox is turned on or during
charging.
•Red light flashes quickly Low battery
•Red light flashes: Battery charging
•Red light is on: Battery is charged
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charging cycles and must
be replaced over time.The charging cycle andbattery charging time depend
on the use of the device and the application environment.
Charging the
PowerBox

11
Please select a MotionSkin in the correct size and with an optimal fit. Put
on the dry MotionSkin, initially without the PowerBox. Make sure that the
electrodes fit correctly and securely on the muscles to be stimulated. If the
fit is too loose or insecure, the electrodes may not connect to the skin or
the electrode connection may break off during training. Depending on the
program setting, this will lead to a loss or reduction of the stimulation of
the respective electrode channel until the connection is correctly re-
established. Your salesperson will advise you on the right size. In case of
doubt, the fit of the MotionSkin can be additionally optimised with the
supplied tightening straps. Overstretching the MotionSkin must be
avoided at all costs and can lead to damage.
The MotionSkin lies directly on the skin, so it is recommended to remove
any jewellery from the affected areas beforehand. It should be ensured
that the zipper is completely open. Putting on the MotionSkin can be made
much easier by folding the sleeves and legs of the MotionSkin outwards
(electrodes pointing out-wards). First, the legs should be pulled upwards
piece by piece. Then they can be folded down again (now the electrodes
are in contact with the skin). The buttocks electrodes should be positioned
as far up as possible. If the positioning of the lower part of the MotionSkin
fits, the arms can be put into the sleeves of the MotionSkin. Finally, the
zipper should be closed and the sleeves folded back over (now the
electrodes are in contact with the skin).
If necessary, check the fit of various sizes of MotionSkin and select the
most suitable MotionSkin for the user. If in doubt, the fit of the MotionSkin
can be additionally optimized with the supplied tension straps.
Connect the PowerBox with the MotionSkin The
push buttons on the MotionSkin should be
connected with their counterparts (paddles) on
the PowerBox as depicted.
During training, the PowerBox should be kept in
the pocket provided on the MotionSkin. Ensure
the PowerBox is held securely and firmly to
make sure it does not fall out accidentally.

In order to achieve noticeable physical and health improvements and to
exclude the possibility of overexertion due to training, the following points
must be complied with for the purposes of determining the optimal level of
training effort:
WARNING
Dangers while training
The user must have a sufficient level of health in
order to perform training.
The physical condition of the user must be
verified before every training session.
The user must be healthy and feel fit enough to
perform a running module or a conventional
strength training module.
CAUTION
Muscle tension during EMS training
To avoid injuries during EMS training, the
section of muscles to be stimulated must be
tensed naturally and deliberately prior to each
stimulation phase.
This level of muscle tension is to be maintained
during the course of a stimulation phase.
Training intensity
Physical exertion during training must be higher than the normal level of
exertion when not training. However, loss of breath or fatigue should not
arise during training. Ability to talk serves as a benchmark: The trainee must
always be capable of speaking with normal respiration during training.
A pulse measurement can be incorporated in order to determine an
effective training intensity. During training, the pulse should be within a
range of 70% and 85% of the maximum pulse.
The pulse can be measured during breaks in training by pressing on e.g. the
wrist and counting the beats within a minute, or a suitable pulse
measurement device can be used.
