Error Messages
In the unlikely event of your
ACTIVATOR
developing a problem,
“Err” will appear on the display (Fig. d). If this occurs you
should switch the
ACTIVATOR
off and then switch it back on
again. It should now operate properly. If the problem persists,
please call the Careline for further assistance:

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
ACTIVATOR
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
ACTIVATOR
’s back cover (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 Careline.

frequently asked questions
Can I use
BMR TUMMY LIFT
for post natal exercises?
• Yes, but you must wait a minimum of
6 weeks
after childbirth before you begin
using it and you
must
consult your doctor first.
• If you’ve had a Caesarean in the past
3 months
, consult your doctor for approval
before using the belt.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
• Make sure the GelPads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly
against your skin - see page 7 & 8. Switch off the
ACTIVATOR
and reposition the belt
if necessary.
• You can also spread a few drops of water on the
black surface
of the GelPads. This
can improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be careful not to get water
on the
ACTIVATOR
. Ensure the
ACTIVATOR
is switched OFF before you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the GelPads.
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What should I do?
• This indicates that the GelPads are over your hip-bones. Moving the two smaller
GelPads upwards and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards the center of your body)
should prevent this. Remember to pause or switch off your
BMR TUMMY LIFT
before
adjusting the belt or GelPads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a 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 belt. 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 the belt.
• If the redness is excessive, you may have the intensity too high. This may increase
the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower intensity for a few days. If the
problem persists, you should stop using the product.
Will the product cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using the belt. This is
normal and should go away after a day or two. Use a low intensity for a few sessions
if you are experiencing muscle soreness.
How do I know when to replace the GelPads?
• With time the GelPads 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 GelPads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check this
by first adjusting the garment to ensure correct positioning of the GelPads. If the problem
persists, try using the new GelPads. If the signal is still weak or uncomfortable, you
should order a new battery pack.
• New GelPads can be purchased online at www.bmrbeautyseries.com or from the
Careline at 1-877-518-2323.
