Description of your unit's symbols:

There are a number of technical markings on your unit. These can be

explained as follows:

The unit and belt are manufactured for Bio-Medical Research Ltd, Parkmore

Business Park West, Galway, Ireland.

The unit requires 1 x 3.6 volt (NiMH) DC battery pack DC is indicated by

the symbol:

The Output Frequency indicates the number of pulses per second transmit-

ted by the unit. This is measured in hertz, which is indicated by "Hz".

Output (RMSA) means the maximum output root mean square current for

each channel.

Output (RMSV) means the maximum output root mean square voltage for

each channel.

This symbol means "Attention, consult the accompanying documents".

This symbol means type BF applied parts.

This symbol on your unit is to indicate conformity to the require-

ments of the Medical Device Directive (93/ 42/EEC). 0366 is the

0366

number of the notified body (VDE).

SN stands for 'serial number'. Inside the box, on the back of the unit is the

serial number specific to this unit. The letter preceding the number indicates

the year of manufacture, where "L" denotes 2006, "M" denotes 2007 etc.

The belt's batch number is represented on the belt packaging, by the num-

ber corresponding with the LOT symbol.

At the end of the product lifecycle, do not throw this product into the

normal household garbage, but bring it to a collection point for the

recycling of electronic equipment.

Some product materials can be re-used if you bring them to a recycling

point. By re-using some parts or raw materials from used products you

make an important contribution to the protection of the environment.

Please contact your local authorities if you need more information

about collection points in your area.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment can have potentially harmful

effects on the environment. Incorrect disposal can cause harmful toxins

to build up in the air, water and soil and can be harmful to human

health.

Charging and Discharging

Your unit is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The batteries can be

charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.

When operating times become noticeably shorter than normal, you should

replace the batteries. Use only Slendertone approved battery packs and

recharge them only with chargers approved for this unit.

If a replacement battery pack is being used for the first time, or if the unit

has not been used for a prolonged period of time, it may be necessary to

connect the charger, disconnect it and then reconnect it to begin charging

the batteries.

If the batteries are completely discharged, it may take several minutes

before the charging indicator appears on the display.

Use the battery pack only for it's intended use and never use any battery

pack or charger that has been damaged.

Leaving the battery pack in hot or cold places, such as in a car in Summer or

8.5mA

Winter conditions, will reduce the capacity an lifetime of the batteries.

Always try to keep the batteries between 15C and 25C (59F - 77F). A unit

with a hot or cold battery pack may not work temporarily, even when the

0 C

batteries are fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in

temperatures well below freezing.

100 µs

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as they may explode. Batteries may

explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Do not dismantle or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak,

do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In the event

of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek med-

ical help.
