and pull the device out carefully. The device is charging when the
display (LED) lights up. Avoid twisting the appliance in the charging
stand as this will prevent damage.
3.4. ATTACHMENTS
The attachments are fixed to the device via a plug connection. They
can easily be detached by turning them a quarter turn and pulling
them gently off the device. The attachments click simply onto the
device. The attachments are in the correct position when the brack-
ets on the device and the attachment lie seamlessly on top of each
other. The magnets help you to find the final position. Before starting
treatment, make sure that the respective attachment is engaged in
the intended final position.
Please refer to the drawing on page 28 for the correct position of
the attachment on the device.
4. APPLICATION & USE
The local vibration therapy with the NOVAFON vibration sound wave
device can be used as an aid in treating a number of diseases of the
musculoskeletal and the nervous system. NOVAFON vibration sound
wave devices are used by doctors and therapists in the treatment
of musculoskeletal pain (e.g. muscle or joint pain) and in the re-
habilitation of neurological diseases (e.g. spasticity or Hemineglect
after a stroke). Due to their simple handling, the devices can also be
used in the home environment. Please bear in mind that NOVAFON
vibration sound wave devices can only alleviate symptoms but nev-
er actually cure the underlying disease, nor are they a replacement
for a doctor's visit. Despite being safe, simple and non-invasive,
we recommend that you discuss the treatment with your doctor or
therapist. If symptoms get worse, seek medical advice. Discontinue
the treatment immediately, if you experience nausea, dizziness, in-
creased pain, or skin irritation. Please be aware of the contraindica-
tions listed in section 5.
4.1. SELF-APPLICATION AT HOME
Pain is a common symptom of acute and chronic diseases, such as epi-
condylitis, tendinitis, myalgia or fibromyalgia, which can be reduced
by local vibration therapy. 1 Taking into account the contraindications
(chapter 5), move the NOVAFON device in a straight line, selectively
or in slowly circling movements on or around the treatment area.
The NOVAFON device can also be applied at trigger points near
the painful area. In case of uncertainty, please consult your treat-
ing physician or therapist regarding your individual application. The
NOVAFON device can be used directly on the skin or through fabric/
clothing. During the application, make sure that the vibration sound
wave device glides gently and without pressure over the body area.
Use the entire surface of the attachment. This is the only way the
penetration depth effect of the NOVAFON device can be fully de-
ployed and the vibrations are transmitted optimally. Use only the
NOVAFON device's own weight for a comfortable application.
The therapeutic application should not exceed a maximum of three
20-minute treatment units per day. Please note that the NOVAFON
