CEO Slendertone
why you’ll love it
At SLENDERTONE we are proud to have delivered a clinically proven arm product that delivers results. This
interchangeable system lets you attach the same hand-held controller to a whole range of garments,
which firm, strengthen and tone different areas of your body. See www.slendertone.com for more details.
The controller can be shared with your friends or partner when they purchase a SLENDERTONE accessory
product allowing you to build and customize a complete body toning collection.
SLENDERTONE ARMS uses SLENDERTONE’s clinically proven and patented C.S.I.Technology. A signal is sent to the
nerves, through the pads, which in turn contracts the biceps and triceps muscles.
SLENDERTONE ARMS is an electronic muscle stimulator intended for the enhancement of the performance of
the biceps and triceps muscles. It may also be used, with medical supervision, for the rehabilitation of
muscle which has become deficient due to disuse or injury.
making it work for you
To get the most from your SLENDERTONE ARMS ACCESSORY, follow the 30-day plan and use your unit 3 times a
week at an intensity level comfortable for you. We recommend you leave at least 48 hours between sessions.
Use as part of a normal, healthy lifestyle.
Read all instuctions fully before use!

the science behind slendertone
SLENDERTONE ARMS uses patented C.S.I.Technology to deliver signals
directly to your neuro-muscular system, causing contractions
which exercise and tone your muscles.
Step 1: Signals are sent through the pads. The signals activate
the nerves which control the biceps and triceps muscles.
Step 2: As the signal strength increases, the nerves, in turn,
cause your muscles to contract and relax rhythmically.
The Result: A deep, effective muscle workout. It’s like SLENDERTONE
does the hard work for you!
precautions
Please read these precautions before using your SLENDERTONE ARMS ACCESSORY:
•You should only use this product while in a relaxed, seated position, with your arms
bent slightly and resting in your lap.
• Do not straighten your arms during the session, as this can lead to an ineffective session
and may cause some discomfort.
• Never use SLENDERTONE ARMS while invloved in any activity which includes using your arms
or hands.
• Your arms are likely to move involuntarily during a session.
• Keep your unit in your hands during each session.
• Do not fasten the straps too tightly around your arms.
• If the garment leads are damaged or exposed, they should be replaced immediately.

Record the highest intensity levels in your performance plan (see back of this
instruction manual). The diary below shows one persons plan. Each box shows
the highest toning intensity for each arm garment. The intensity level will vary
from person to person. Fill in the diary each time you complete a toning session.
Leave your diary somewhere you will see it regularly. This will help to motivate
you to reach your goal.
SLENDERTONE ARMS has three programmes.
Programme 1 is a conditioning programme, for improving muscle tone and
definition of the arms.
Programme 2 is the strongest programme and will tone and strengthen your
arm muscles as well as improving definition.
Programme 3 is a power programme, using short, powerful contractions to build
muscle.
•Once you have selected a programme, the unit will continue using that
programme until you change it.
•We recommend you use the product no more than three times a week and
that you leave at least 48 hours between sessions.
Note: You cannot change a programme during a session, you must switch
your unit off and then on again. You can then select a different programme
by pressing the programme button.

Battery Power / Replacing the battery
The battery icon on the display will flash when the
battery is low and needs to be recharged. After a
period of time, you may find that your battery will
only power your unit for a limited number of sessions,
requiring you to charge the battery more frequently.
This is because rechargeable batteries have a limited
number of charge cycles and may eventually need to
be replaced.
Should you need to replace the rechargeable battery,
remove the small rubber plug from the back cover of
your unit (Fig. e), unscrew the back cover and remove it.
Replace the existing battery pack with a new battery
pack (Fig. f) and replace the battery cover. You can
purchase a new battery pack by contacting the
SLENDERTONE Careline.

The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
• Make sure the pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed
firmly against your skin - see pages 6-7. Switch off your unit and reposition
the garments if necessary.
• You can also smear a few drops of water on the black surface of the pads.
This can improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be careful not
to get water on the unit. Ensure the unit is switched OFF before you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the pads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a toning session is normal. It is partly due to an
increase in the blood flow under the skin and should fade after a while. You
may also experience some reddening of the skin due to the pressure of the
garments. This is the same as the pressure marks you can get from tight
clothing. You should not be concerned about this. It should fade soon after
you remove them.
• If the redness is excessive, you may have the toning intensity too high.
This may increase the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower toning
intensity for a few days. If the problem persists, you should stop using the
unit.
Will the product cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using SLENDERTONE
ARMS ACCESSORY. This is normal and should go away after a while. Use a low
toning intensity for a few sessions if you are experiencing muscle soreness.
How do I know when to replace the pads?
• With time the pads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as this
makes the workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This
usually indicates that the pads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You
can check this by first adjusting the garments to ensure correct positioning of
the pads. If the problem persists, try using the unit with a new battery pack.
If the signal is still weak or uncomfortable, you should order new pads.
• New pads can be purchased online at www.slendertone.com (check for
special offers) or from the careline.
Can I use SLENDERTONE ARMS ACCESSORY to treat muscles weakened from lack of
use due to injury?
• Yes. The unit may be used for the alleviation of or compensation for injury.
Consultation with your doctor or physiotherapist is required to establish a
rehabilitation programme with your SLENDERTONE ARMS ACCESSORY, which would
safely provide improvement to the strength and tone of the biceps and triceps
muscles.
Battery performance has degraded significantly.
• After an extended period of time you may notice a degradation in the
performance of the battery in your unit. At this point you should purchase
a new rechargeable battery pack. New rechargeable battery packs can be
purchased through the SLENDERTONE Careline, or by visiting
ww.slendertone.com.

• You have an electronic implant (e.g. cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator) or
suffer from any other heart problem.
• You are pregnant.
• You suffer from cancer, epilepsy or are under medical supervision for cognitive
dysfunction.
• The unit is in close proximity (e.g. 1m) to shortwave or microwave therapy
equipment.
• You are connected to high-frequency surgical equipment.
• Wearing the device necessitates placement over areas at which drugs/
medicines are administered by injection (short term or long term) e.g. hormone
treatment.
Please get your doctor’s or physiotherapist’s permission before using your
SLENDERTONE product if:
• You have any serious illness or injury not mentioned in this guide.
• You have recently had an operation.
• You take insulin for diabetes.
• You want to use it on a young child.
• You suffer from muscle or joint problems.
• Using the device as part of a rehabilitation programme.
When applying the pads and garments, always remember to :
• Place the pads and garments ONLY as indicated in this manual.
• Avoid placing the pads or garments on the front or sides of the neck, across
or through the heart (i.e. one pad on the front of the chest and one on the
back), in the genital region or on the head (other toning units are available
for other areas of the body - details are available at www.slendertone.com
or from your local retailer).
• Application of electrodes near the thorax may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
• Avoid any recent scars, broken or inflamed skin, areas of infection or
susceptibility to acne, thrombosis or other vascular problems (e.g. varicose
veins), or any parts of the body where feeling is limited.
• Avoid areas of injury or restricted movement (e.g. fractures or sprains).
• Avoid placing the pads directly over metal implants.
Possible adverse reactions:
• A small number of isolated skin reactions have been reported by people
using muscle stimulation devices, including allergies, a prolonged reddening
of the skin and acne.
• On very rare occasions, first-time users of EMS have reported feeling light-
headed or faint. We recommend that you use the product while seated
until you become accustomed to the sensation.
To reposition pads during a session:
• Always pause the programme currently running, unfasten the garments
and then refasten them once the position of the pads has been adjusted.
dos & don’ts

Slendertone Male Arms IM_Layout 1 03/11/2011 15:27 Page 13

After strenuous exercise or exertion:
• Always use a lower toning intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.
Contact the careline if:
• Your unit is not working correctly. Do not use it in the meantime.
• You experience any irritation, skin reaction, hypersensitivity or other adverse
reaction. You should, however, note that some reddening of the skin can
appear under the garments during and for a short time after a session.
Note:
• An effective treatment should not cause undue discomfort.
Important:
• Keep your unit out of the reach of children.
• The studs and pads must not be connected to other objects.
• Do not use your unit at the same time as any other device which transfers an
electrical current into the body (e.g. another muscle stimulator).
• Cease using your unit if you are feeling light headed or faint. Consult your
doctor if this happens.
• Do not touch the pads or metal studs while the unit is switched on.
• Do not use while driving, operating machinery or cycling.
• For first time users, muscle stimulation can be an unusual sensation. We
recommend that you begin with low stimulation intensities to familiarise
yourself with the sensation before progressing to higher stimulation
intensities.
• The arm garments are for use by one person only. Do not share your garments
with anyone else.
• Do not over exert yourself when using muscle stimulation. Any workout
should be at a level comfortable for you.
• Do not try to eat or drink anything while using SLENDERTONE ARMS.
• SLENDERTONE will not accept responsibility if the guidelines and instructions

battery information - charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new
battery is achieved only after two hours or three complete charge cycles.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. To insure optimum battery performance you should use
your device regularly e.g. perform 1 session a day, 5 days per week.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has
not been used for a prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the
charger and then disconnect and reconnect it to start the charging.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when it is not in
use. Do not leave fully a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since
overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery
will loose its charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the
purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device
with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
full charged. Battery perforamance is particularly limited in tempertaures well
below freezing. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to
local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
caring for your pads
• The pads are for single person use only.
• You should ensure your skin is clean and free of oils, creams and other lotions
before use.
• The durability and effectiveness of the pads depends entirely on the proper use,
storage and care on the part of the user, certain skin types and the type, duration,
number of sessions, intensity used and site of stimulation.
• Ensure your hands are clean before handling pads. You should avoid touching
the skin-side of the pads with your fingers as much as possible when applying
or removing the belt, as this can transfer oils and skin particles to the pads’
surface.
• After use, replace the liners on the black side of the pads and store your unit
in a cool, dry place until the next use.
• Pads will need to be replaced periodically as the surface picks up skin debris
and becomes dry over time.
