IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION

PLEASE READ:
Q: How do I use it?
A: Simply place your 'BARE FEET' ON THE FOOT PADS. The right foot on the right footpad and the
left foot on the left footpad at the same time. The device will not work unless you have your
soles on the foot pads.
Q: Does it vibrate?
A: No. This device DOES NOT VIBRATE. The Circulator has been specifically designed to send tiny
electrical impulses through the soles of your feet. This action causes your calf muscles to
contract and release forcing the blood back up through the veins in your legs.
Q: I'm not feeling anything in my feet or legs?
A: Please note that the 'intensity' level goes all the way up to 99. The aim is not to get to 99, but to
a level that suits you. This level may change on a daily basis.
Q: My feet are very dry and I'm not feeling the electrical impulses
A: Remember to keep hydrated; drink plenty of fluids. Also, if you moisturise your feet, this will
boost the health benefits.
Q: Is it difficult to use?
A: No. Simply place your bare feet onto the footpads, select the intensity setting and it
automatically counts down from 30 minutes.
Q: Am I too old to get any benefit from it?
A: No. The product is suitable for any adult age.
Q: Can it really help me? I'm not very active and sit for most of the day.
A: Yes. As we sit, the blood naturally pools to the lower legs due to gravity, this is a natural action
in the body. If we do not take frequent walks or exercise, the blood will pool and could cause
your legs and feet issues such as swelling and poor blood circulation. The Circulator may
reduce these symptoms.
Q: My legs ache after using the device
A: Either you had it on a SOLE setting that was too high for you (so reduce this setting next time
you use it) or you have used it too many times within a few days. Just give your legs time to
relax and then re-use the device.
WARNING
The product should not be used during pregnancy, by people fitted with a
pacemaker or other implanted medical device, or anyone being treated for Deep
Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Not suitable for persons under 16 years of age. Any
questions, please call our Customer Service Number or consult your health
professional.
