The MEDISANA Abdominal muscle stimulation belt BOB
basis of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Gentle electrical impulses
stimulate the abdominal body muscles without stressing tendons or joints.
This leads to slight contractions of the muscle fibres, which may built up
the abdominal muscles "passively" (= without doing an active training).
This is helpful e.g. after surgeries for strengthening the flaccid muscles,
for deficiently or unilaterally trained muscles, tight abdominal muscles or
for warming-up. This functional principle of muscle fibre stimulation is
used since many years by professional athletes, ambitious recreational
sportsmen and in the field of rehabilitation. It improves the capacity of
the body, reduces the risk of injury and preserves mobility. The compen-
sation of muscular imbalances and the skin tightening effect lead to an
attractive body.
Make sure, that the device is switched off. Take the display unit out of the
e
holder . This is more easy if you slightly press the display unit from
the rear side away from the belt and then move it upwards out of the
e
holder . Slide the battery compartment cover
display unit away in arrow direction. Put the enclosed batteries (3 x type
AAA, LR03 1,5V) according to the symbols (+/-) into the base of the
battery compartment. Close the battery compartment and push the battery

connections are "snapping" together with the electrode connections
w
of the belt . Change the batteries when the battery change symbol
appears in the display or when nothing is shown in the display after the
device is switched on. When changing the batteries, only use batteries of
the same type (3 x type AAA, LR03 1,5V).
WARNING
• Do not disassemble batteries!
• Remove discharged batteries from the device immediately!
• Increased risk of leakage, avoid contact with skin, eyes and
mucous membranes! If battery acid comes in contact with
any of this parts, rinse the affected area with copious amounts
of fresh water and seek medical attention immediately!
• If a battery has been swallowed seek medical attention
immediately!
• Replace all of the batteries simultaneously!
• Only replace with batteries of the same type, never use different
types of batteries together or used batteries with new ones!
• Insert the batteries correctly, observing the polarity!
• Remove the batteries from the device if it is not going to be
used for an extended period!
• Keep batteries out of children's reach!
• Do not attempt to recharge these batteries! There is a
danger of explosion!
• Do not short circuit! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not throw into a fire! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put
them in a hazardous waste container or take them to a
battery collection point, at the shop where they were purchased!
