• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces) come
into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you are wearing
jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated (e.g. a navel piercing),
these must be removed before using the device. Failure to do so could
result in spot burns.
• Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts with
your headphones or other devices and do not connect the electrodes to
other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit electrical
impulses into your body.
• Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases or ex-
plosives.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries and always use the same battery types.
• During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying down
to minimise the risk of injuries as a consequence of isolated cases of vagal
responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint, immediately switch off
the device, lie down and support the legs in an elevated position (approx.
5 -10 min).
• Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments beforehand
is not recommended as this considerably increases the electrode wear
and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by people with restricted physical, sen-
sory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or mental skills or a lack of experien-
ce and/or lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to
use the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes decreases, please
replace them immediately. Only use the device again with new adhesive
electrodes. Otherwise the unequal adhesion of the adhesive electrodes
may lead to skin injuries. Replace the electrodes with new ones after
having used them 20 times at the latest.

specified Customer Services address.
• In order to perform the effectiveness of function by the device, do not
drop the device or disassemble the device.
• Check the device for signs of wear and tear or damage. If there are such
signs of wear and tear or damage or if the device was used improperly, it
must be returned to the manufacturer or retailer before further use.

• Do not attempt to open and/or repair the device yourself. Repairs may
only be carried out by Customer Services or authorised retailers. Failure
to comply will result in voiding of the warranty.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper or
careless use.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the affected
areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on batteries.
Store the batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
