Instruction Manual
Manual de Instrucciones

Your SLEN ERTONE product is indicated for the improvement of abdominal muscle
tone, for strengthening of abdominal muscles, and for the development
of a firmer abdomen. Your SLEN ERTONE product is suitable for use by all
healthy adults; however, as with other forms of exercise, some care is
needed when using it. Always follow the guidelines below and read the
instruction manual before use. Some of the points below are gender-specific.
CONTRA-ND CAT ONS:
Do not use if:
• You have an electronic implant (e.g. cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator -
as your SLEN ERTONE product may interfere with the proper functioning of
the implanted stimulator) or suffer from any other heart problem.
• You have any other form of abdominal implant. The safety has not been
established for the use of electronic muscle stimulators over abdominal
implants.
• You are pregnant. The safety of electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) over
the pregnant uterus has not been established.
• You suffer from cancer. The effects of electronic stimulation on cancerous
tissue are unknown.
• You are under medical supervision for cognitive dysfunction as you may
not be able to comply with safety instructions.
• The unit is in close proximity (e.g., 1 yard) to shortwave or microwave
therapy equipment or you are connected to high-frequency surgical
equipment (e.g. diathermy), because of the risk of device malfunction
due to electronic interference.
WARN NGS:
• The long-term effects of chronic electronic stimulation are unknown.
• Unit Should not be used while sleeping, because you cannot react to
safety information.
Wait before using your SLENDERTONE product until:
• At least 6 weeks after the birth of your baby. You must consult your doctor
before use.
• One month after an IU contraceptive device (e.g., coil) has been fitted.
You must consult your doctor before use.
• At least 3 months after having a Caesarean section. You must consult
your doctor before use.
• The heavy days of your period have finished because vigorous abdominal
exercise is not recommended at this time.
When applying the GelPads™ and belt, always remember to:
• Place the GelPads and belt ONLY on the abdomen as indicated in this
manual.
• Avoid placing the GelPads or belt on the front or sides of the neck, across
or through the heart (i.e., one GelPad on the front of the chest and one
on the back), in the genital region nor on the head, because of the risk
of stimulating inappropriate muscles and organs.
• Avoid application of electrodes near the thorax as this 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 GelPads over metal implants. They may be placed on
the nearest muscles.
PRECAUT ONS:
• Caution should be used for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy.
• Caution should be used in the following:
- When there is a tendency to bleed internally following an injury or fracture.
- Following recent surgical procedures when electronic stimulation may
disrupt the healing process
- Over areas of skin which lack normal sensation
• Your SLEN ERTONE product Is not intended for medical use, for the treatment
of any medical condition, nor for any permanent physical changes.

SLEN ERTONE uses electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) technology. This technology has been used in hospitals
and by physiotherapists for over 50 years. Here is a summary of how EMS technology works. The special
3 pad design ensures that all of the abdominal muscles contract and not only those directly under the pads.
Step 1
Signals are sent
among the pads
Step 2
The signals switch on
the nerves which control
the abdominal muscles.
Step 3
The nerves in turn
switch on the muscles.

SLENDERTONE Ab Crunch – Guidelines.
When performing abdominal crunches:
((aa))avoid neck strain by always keeping your hands
at the sides of your head and not behind it;
((bb))always use a soft flat surface, e.g. a gym mat;
((cc))stop exercising immediately if you feel any pain.
Specific Do’s and Don’ts for SLENDERTONE Ab Crunch
Programs.
• Never do abdominal crunches if you suffer from
neck or lumbar pain.
• Never exert yourself beyond your own comfort
level – if in doubt or if you have back pain consult
your doctor before attempting these activities.
• We advise that these programs are designed for
use ONLY with the abdominal crunches specified.
No other form of exercise should be attempted
with these programs.
Ab Crunches - Getting Started.
Begin both Ab Crunch Programs in the Starting Posi-
tion (FIG.A):
Wearing your belt, lie on your back. Bend your
knees to approx. 90°. Position your hands either
side of your head. Your feet should be flat on the
floor, shoulder width apart and your abdominal
muscles fully relaxed. Switch your unit on and in-
crease the intensity.
Ab Crunch 1 - nstructions.
Ab Crunch 1 can be used in conjunction with a Be-
ginner Crunch or a Standard Crunch. Those unfamil-
iar with Ab Crunch exercises should start with a
Beginner Crunch. Progress to a Standard Crunch
when your abdominal strength has improved.
1(a) Beginner Crunch (F G. A):
When the stimulation starts, gently press your
lower back into the floor and contract your
abdominal muscles as hard as is comfortable.
o not raise your head off the floor and keep
your neck muscles as relaxed as possible.
1(b) Standard Crunch (F G. B):
When the stimulation starts, slowly curl your
shoulders forward, making sure that your lower
back stays on the floor. Ensure you do not jerk
your head forward. When raising your head,
avoid neck strain by keeping a space approxi-
mately the size of your fist between your neck
and chest.
22Hold each contraction for three seconds, then
return to the starting position and relax fully.
The stimulation will stop.
33After a three second relaxation period, the
stimulation starts again. Repeat step 1(a) or
1(b)and step 2 depending on the type of crunch
you are doing.
Ab Crunch 2 - nstructions.
o not attempt this program until you have
progressed to a Standard Crunch using the Ab
Crunch 1 program.
1 Side Crunch (F G. C):
When the stimulation starts, slowly curl one
shoulder upwards and towards the midline/
centre of your body. Your shoulder should finish
8-10cm (3-4 inches) from the ground. Keep your
lower back on the floor.
mportant:
Curl your right shoulder upwards and inwards
when the stimulation is on the left side of your
abdomen. Curl your left shoulder upwards and
inwards when the stimulation is on the right
side of your abdomen. Always keep your lower
back on the floor and never twist your upper
body excessively.
22Hold each contraction for two seconds, then re-
turn to the starting position and relax fully –
the stimulation will stop.
33After a two second relaxation period, the
stimulation will start again. Repeat steps 1&2.

Can use S LENDERTONE U LTRA for post natal exercise?
Yes. If you are using your SLEN ERTONE unit for post natal toning, you
should only begin the exercises a minimum of 6 weeks after childbirth -
and you must consult your doctor first. If you have had a caesarean in
the past three months, you must consult your doctor for approval
before using SLEN ERTONE ULTRA.
How do know when to replace the pads?
With time the pads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as
this makes the stimulation 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 checking the unit with new batteries and/or adjusting the belt to
ensure correct positioning. New pads can be purchased from your
nearest slendertone retailer, online at www.slendertoneusa.com, or
from our Toll Free Customer Service Line at 1-800-551-2443.
The pads are not sticking to the belt even though they are fairly new.
Can this be improved?
Ensure the grid side of the pad is stuck to the belt. If the grid side is
facing you, you should reverse the pad so that the black side is facing
you. With the liner still on the pads, press the edges of each pad very
firmly onto the belt before and after each session.
find it difficult putting on the belt. What should do?
If you have trouble fitting the belt around your waist, you should hold
the belt by the ends, position the central pad as usual and stretch the
belt as far as you can before fastening it behind your back. A belt
extension is also available from your SLEN ERTONE retailer, online at

The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can improve this?
Ensure the pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly
against your skin. You can check their placement by switching off your
unit and repositioning the belt as described on page 7.
My skin is red after the exercise. s this a problem?
Some redness of the skin after a training session is normal. It is partly
due to an increase in the blood-flow under the skin and should fade
after the treatment. You may also experience some reddening of the skin
due to the pressure of the stretched belt. This is common and is the
same as the pressure marks you can get from tight clothing. You should
not be concerned about this, but should only wear the belt during a
session. If it is excessive, you may have the intensity too high, which can
increase the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using the unit at a lower
intensity for a few days. If the problem persists, you should stop using
the unit.
can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What
should do?
Moving the two smaller pads upward and inward (ie. towards the center
of your body) on your waist should prevent this.

Pause the program and reposition the central pad slightly lower on your
stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 small pads to a smaller figure
setting on the belt (towards the central pad).
