AUTO FUNCTIONS
If the conductive area of the belt (the black area on the back of the
exercise pads) does not touch the skin, the intensity can only be set up
to "1". An alarm will sound after 2 seconds and the unit will automatically
switch off. If the belt is removed during use, the intensity is automatically
reset to "1". If the belt is not immediately placed back into contact
with the skin, the unit will automatically turn off after 20 seconds.
The AbCommand™ iX2™ unit has an auto-timer. It will automatically
switch off after 10 minutes of use. If you change the exercise mode
during the 10 minute exercise period, the timer will continue to count-
down from the original leftover time.

MAINTENANCE
The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt is made of quality materials. The only
maintenance required with the AbCommand™ iX2™ is to clean the
Conductive Pads and belt gently from time to time, and to replace the
battery when needed. Please refer to page 23 for detailed cleaning
methods.
The Conductive Pads are a consumable item and can wear with use,
depending on the gel you are using, your own body fluids and how often
you use the belt. A discoloration of the conductive area and a "crumbled
look" after many uses, however, is normal. NEVER BEND the Conductive
Pads! Worn Conductive Pads can reduce the performance of the unit
or cause the belt to feel erratic. Wear and tear is not covered by the
product warranty.
If several people want to share the AbCommand™ iX2™ belt you can
easily detach the computer unit by unsnapping it from the neoprene
center and use it on your own personal belt for hygienic reasons. Just
pull the unit off and put it on a new belt.
