Power Plate my7 - Manual (Page 6)

G-factor™
The my7 model offers a new way
of setting the machine, called the
G-Factor™, which simplifies how
one sets the machine to operate
at various levels of intensity. The
G-Factor combines the frequencies
and amplitudes, as shown in the table
below.
The term G-factor™ is based on
g-forces as described in paragraph
1.2 Intensity Level, a combination of
frequency and amplitude.
Intensity level
The intensity at which the machine
operates can be determined by
multiplying frequency and amplitude,
which shows how fast and how far the
platform is accelerating. Acceleration
is expressed in meters per second
squared (m/s2) and can be converted to
g-forces. An acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 is
equal to a g-force of 1g.
Stretch – Readies your muscles and
connecting tissues. An excellent prep for
any workout.
Balance – Activates your mind/body
connection and increases your stabilizing
muscle strength.
Core – Engages and strengthens your
central pillar including abs, obliques and
spinal erectors.
Strength – Builds lean muscle, tones and
burns fat with both dynamic and static
style exercises.
Massage – Stimulates blood flow and
relaxes muscles while reducing post-
workout fatigue.

1. How do I clean the touchscreen?
a. Turn touchscreen off. Use a piece of dry, lint free soft cloth. First wipe down monitor to remove
dust. Please use deionized or distilled water or iso-propyl alcohol - Don’t use tap water or mineral
water as they could leave white marks on the screen because of the dissolved salts. Spray
this liquid on the cloth. Never spray liquid directly onto the touchscreen. Moisten the cloth with
the cleaner and gently move the wet cloth in just one direction - from top to bottom. Completely
dry the touchscreen with a second cloth. Do not use any solutions that contain Acetone, ethyl
alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride.
b. Do not use excessive force when cleaning, to avoid damaging the touchscreen. The touchscreen
is not a rigid hard surface and can be damaged if too much pressure is applied.
