4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NOVAFON vibration Wellness products have been used for decades for smooth-
ing transient pains and aches which is the physiological effect caused by the
vibration massage and the warming effect it creates. The application of the
vibration massage can be relaxing or stimulating, adding to the Wellness feel-
ing. A stimulating effect is generated by transmitting gentle vibrations to skin
surfaces, muscles, cartilage and tissues, which can often be felt for several
minutes after the application.
The application is very easy. The NOVAFON vibration products allow you to
choose between a more continuous massage (120 Hz) and more of a tapping
massage (60 Hz).
4.1. NOVAFON PRODUCT TYPES

tailer for further information on accessories.

4.2.2. BALL ATTACHMENT
The ball attachment can be used in the application on smaller target areas and
individual spots. It is included in the delivery, but it can also be ordered as a
replacement part.
5. HOW TO USE
5.1. PRODUCT START-UP
Plug the power plug into a power outlet that provides the specified voltage.
Ensure that the cable is not stretched to a length of more than 9 feet (3 meters)
as that might cause the cable to break. Use a mains extension cord, if required.
Also, do not pull or tug on the power cord as this also might cause the cable to
break and voids your warranty.
Turn on the NOVAFON product using the flip switch . This flip switch is also
used to select the frequency level in the NOVAFON pro and power devices .
5.2. INTENSITY CONTROL
The intensity can be adjusted by turning the control knob. Turning the control
knob clockwise (viewed from the top) reduces the intensity. Consequently,
turning the control knob counter-clockwise increases the intensity. Please bear
in mind that you need to turn the control knob several times to reach the high-
est or lowest intensity. It is recommended that you start at a low intensity and
see what effect is achieved and then increase it as required to suit individual
sensitivity levels.
Do not apply additional pressure when using the NOVAFON device. Instead of
enhancing application effectiveness, this would interfere with the vibratory per-
formance. Perfect vibrations are generated by the mere contact of the NOVA-
FON product with the body, WARNING: See contra-indications above.
5.3. ATTACHMENTS
The disk attachment and ball attachment can be easily replaced. Unscrew the
attachment counter-clockwise to remove it from the product or turn it clock-
wise to tighten it to the device.
5.4. APPLICATIONS & USE
The NOVAFON vibration product can be used directly on the skin or through
fabric/clothing. Guide the NOVAFON slowly over the affected area in circular
or sweeping motion. You can also use the product selectively and rest on the
spot (for up to 60 seconds or when discomfort is felt) to achieve a feeling of
relieve from pain and aches. Please note that you should only guide the product
with its own weight over the affected area and should not apply additional pres-

sure as this will reduce the vibration effect. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT FOR
MORE THAN 20 MINUTES AT A TIME, and switch it off for at least 15 minutes to
prevent overheating. When applied to sensitive areas (e.g. face, neck, head) or
several body parts at one session, the application duration should be reduced
and adjusted to accommodate the individual needs. The NOVAFON vibration
product can be used on all body parts. Avoid contact with the temple areas.
WARNING: Avoid contact with mucous surfaces or the eyes.
The application should feel pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the applica-
tion or change the position of the NOVAFON vibration product if you feel the
application is painful or unpleasant. DO NOT USE THE NOVAFON VIBRATION
PRODUCT IF ANY OF THE ABOVE CONTRAINDICATIONS APPLY TO YOU.
Use of liniments: If you want to use any liniments, only use creams, ointments
or cosmetics indicated for massage application Apply only in a thin layer to the
skin or place a thin cloth between the Novafon product and the skin. To prevent
damage, ensure that fluids or residues cannot seep into the NOVAFON product.
Do not use liniments that contain aromatic oils or alcohol as these can cause
deterioration of the housing, the attachments and the cord thus damaging the
device.
It is normal that the attachments and even the devices head become warm to
the touch during use. This warmth is caused by the mechanics in the device. If
the head becomes hot, turn the product of and let it cool down for at least 15min
before using it again, if the product continue to be hot, Immediately stop the use
and either discard or return to your dealer.
5.5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
