Troubleshooting - Contour Core Sculpting System II Use And Care Manual

Q: How often should I work my abs?
A: We recommend that you use the Muscle Stimulator Ab belt at least once a
day. It is possible to work your abs in multiple sessions a day-just make
sure you have at least six hours of rest between sessions.
Q: What conditions could affect my experience with the device?
A: Please check with your doctor before using the Muscle Stimulator if you
have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted
metallic or electronic device.
Q: What are general warnings I should be aware of?
A: The Muscle Stimulator is intended for use on healthy muscles. It is to be
used by adults only. Keep out of reach of children. Never use the Muscle
Stimulator on painful muscles, atrophied muscles, muscles with spasms
or any muscle associated with a painful or afflicted joint. Do not apply the
Muscle Stimulator or gel pad electrodes to the neck or mouth or chest;
swollen, infected or inflamed areas of skin eruptions. Please see your
doctor about using the Muscle Stimulator if you've recently suffered from
an acute trauma or fracture or following recent surgery.
Q: Is it Safe?
A: Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS or eStim) has been around for
decades and originally used to treat medical problems. Muscle Stimulators
have passed all the required safety testing and are FDA cleared for sale for
the purpose of toning and recovering healthy muscles.
Q: Muscle Stimulator can warm-up muscles?
A: Yes. The Potentiation program is design to send very low-level impulses
into your muscles just like when you warm up. For example, when you see
a sprinter practicing sprints, they are trying to "activate" muscle fibers to
"get ready" for the main event. Muscle Stimulators can do this for you.
Q: Can I use the Muscle Stimulator Ab Belt for post-natal exercise?
A: Remember to always check with your physician before beginning an
exercise program after giving birth (i.e. post-natal).
Q: Can I use the Muscle Stimulator along with my regular exercise routines?
A: Muscle Stimulator can supplement exercise and training. It doesn't replace
exercise or training because you still need to practice a skill if you're
involved in athletics or learn coordination within an activity. What the
Muscle Stimulator can do is help you target specific muscles.
