TRAINING CONDITIONS: Here's how to
train properly
What do you need to bear in mind when
training?
• Train a maximum of three times a week.
• Take breaks and give your body at least
48 hours to recover.
• Do not train for more than 20 to 30 minutes
per unit, depending on the selected load and
intensity.
• Listen to your body and know your limits.
• Drink plenty of water.
• We recommend using an Antelope electrode
contact agent, especially on dry skin.
Do you feel unwell during your training? Stop the
workout immediately and contact your doctor or
the emergency services! Do you feel dizzy, do you
have heart problems or severe pain after train-
ing? You should also contact your doctor!
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS:
If you train despite having a contraindication
and/or you are not complying with the training
conditions, significant health problems may
occur, which in rare cases can lead to death.
Amongst other things, this can be caused by
severe overtraining and failure to take the neces-
sary breaks. Possible side effects include partial
loss of strength, delayed onset muscle soreness
or a significant increase in muscle protein (such
as creatine kinase) in the blood.
Excess creatine kinase can, in individual cases,
damage the kidneys or other organs, and lead to
them failing. There is an increased risk of muscle
damage particularly after excessively intensive
training units with Antelope products. However,
if you follow our training instructions carefully,
none of the problems mentioned should occur.
If you experience any of the following symptoms,
contact a doctor – in such cases there is a risk of
severe damage to your muscle tissue (rhabdo-
myolysis):
• Your urine is brown.
• You have severe muscle pain (myalgia).
• Your muscle is extremely swollen.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Any form of improper use can be dangerous.
Only use Antelope products:
• on people.
• for the intended purpose and as specified in
these instructions for use.
• for external use.
• with the supplied original accessories, and
original parts that can be re-ordered. Failure
to comply with this will invalidate your guar-
antee.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Always pull electrodes gently from the skin to
prevent injuries in the case of highly sensitive
skin.
• Hold the products away from sources of
heat and do not use them in close proximity
(approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave
devices, as doing so can result in unpleasant
surges of electricity.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight
or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and mois-
ture.
• In particular, the Booster must be protected
against moisture. Never immerse the Boost-
er in water or other liquids.
• The products may only be used by people
without contraindications and in no case on
animals.
• If the device does not work properly, or if you
feel unwell or experience pain, stop using it
immediately.
• To relocate or remove electrodes, pause the
Antelope products or the associated channel
to prevent unintentional stimulation.
• Do not modify any electrodes (e.g. by cutting
them), as this will produce a higher current
density and may be dangerous.
• Do not use whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or
operating machinery.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity
where an unexpected reaction (e.g. strong
muscle contractions even at low intensity)
might pose a hazard.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt
buckles or necklaces) come into contact with
the electrodes during stimulation. If you are
wearing jewellery or have piercings in the
