Technical Specifications

When the symbol appears the stimulus is significantly
reduced.

The signal gradually increases to a peak intensity level at the start
of a contraction phase (i.e. ramp up) and gradually decreases to
nothing at start of a relaxation phase (i.e. ramp down).

Accessories

When ordering new pads, you should only use those carrying the

slendertone

brand. Any others may not be compatible with your

unit and could degrade the minimum safety levels.

Description of your unit’s symbols:

There are a number of technical markings on your unit. These can
be explained as follows:

Inside the battery compartment ‘+’ indicates positive polarity and
‘-’ indicates negative polarity. The batteries’ position is also
shown by 3 embossed outlines in the base of the compartment.

The unit and belt are manufactured for Bio-Medical Research
Ltd., Parkmore Business Park West, Galway, Ireland.

The unit requires three 1.5 volt (lr03) DC batteries. DC is
indicated by the symbol:

The Output Frequency indicates the number of pulses per second
transmitted by the unit. This is measured in hertz ( ‘Hz’).

Output (RMSA) mean the max. output root mean square current
for each channel.

Output (RMSV) mean the max. output root mean square voltage
for each channel.

This symbol means ‘Attention, consult the accompanying
documents’.

SN stands for ‘serial number’.

Inside the box, on the back of the unit is the serial number
specific to this unit. The letter preceding the number indicates the
year of manufacture, where ‘A’ denotes 1995, ‘G’ denotes 2001, ‘H’
denotes 2002 etc.

The belt’s batch number is represented on the belt packaging, by
the number corresponding with the LOT symbol.
