Error Messages
In the unlikely event of your controller developing a problem, "Err" will

Battery Power / Replacing the Battery
The battery icon on the display will flash when the battery is low and
needs to be recharged. After a period of time, you may find that your
battery will only power your controller for a limited number of sessions,
requiring you to charge the battery more frequently. This is because
rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may
eventually need to be replaced.
Should you need to replace the rechargeable battery, remove the small
rubber plug from the back cover of your controller (Fig. e), unscrew the
back cover and remove it. Replace the existing battery pack with a new
battery pack (Fig. f) and replace the battery cover. You can purchase a
new battery pack by contacting

REQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use my product for post natal exercises?
• Yes, but you must wait a minimum of 6 weeks
after childbirth before you begin using it and
you must consult your doctor first.
• If you've had a Caesarean in the past 3
months, consult your doctor for approval
before using the belt.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I
improve this?
• Make sure the GelPads are positioned
correctly and that they are pressed firmly
against your skin (see page 7 & 8). Switch
off your controller and reposition the belt if
necessary.
• You can also spread a few drops of water on
the black surface of the GelPads. This can
improve the comfort of the muscle stimulation,
but be careful not to get water on the controller.
Ensure the controller is switched OFF before
you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by
the GelPads.
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during
an exercise. What should I do?
• This indicates that the GelPads are over your
hip-bones. Moving the two smaller GelPads
upwards and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards
the center of your body) should prevent this.
Remember to pause or switch off your
6 controller before adjusting
SLENDERTONE ABS
the belt or GelPads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a
problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a training
session is normal. It is partly due to an
increase in the blood flow under the skin
and should fade after a while. You may also
experience some reddening of the skin due to
the pressure of the belt. This is the same as the
pressure marks you can get from tight clothing.
You should not be concerned about this. It
should fade soon after you remove the belt.
• If the redness is excessive, you may have the
training intensity too high. This may increase
the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a
lower training intensity for a few days. If the
problem persists, you should stop using the
product.
Will the product cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness
can occur after using the belt. This is normal
and should go away after a day or two. Use a
low training intensity for a few sessions if you
are experiencing muscle soreness.
How do I know when to replace the gel pads?
• With time the gel pads pick up skin debris and
will need to be replaced, as this makes the
workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even
if the battery is fully charged. This usually
indicates that the gel pads are wearing and
will soon need replacing. You can check this
by first adjusting the belt to ensure correct
positioning of the gel pads. If the signal is still
weak or uncomfortable, you should order new
gel pads.
• New gel pads can be purchased from
www.slendertone.com or from Customer Care.
I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not
my stomach muscles.
• Pause the program and reposition the central
GelPad slightly lower on your stomach. If this
doesn't help, move the two small GelPads to
a smaller figure setting on the belt (towards
the central GelPad).
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but
not my waist muscles.
• Pause the program and reposition the central
GelPads slightly higher on your stomach. If
this doesn't help, move the two smaller
GelPads to a larger figure setting on the belt
(away from the central GelPad).
Battery performance has degraded significantly.
• After an extended period of time you may
notice a degradation in the performance of
the battery in your controller. At this point you
should purchase a new rechargeable battery
pack. New rechargeable battery packs can be
purchased from
