4.2. INITIAL START-UP AND FREQUENCY

Fully charge the device prior to switching it on for the first
time (chapter 4.4). The device is delivered in locked status
and must first be unlocked. Unlock the device by pressing
and holding down the ON / OFF button for 3 seconds. You
will now see the welcome text (view 3), followed by the app
screen (battery status, frequency, run time; see view 1). The
device starts operation at 100 Hz. Press the ON/ OFF-but-
ton again to reduce the frequency to 75 Hz, 50 Hz or 0 Hz
respectively. Your current frequency setting is shown on the
display (see view 1). To switch the device off, press and hold
the ON / OFF button again. After about 3 seconds the device
will switch off. The duration of the current treatment will be
shown on the display screen before the display switches off
after a further 3 seconds.
If you are carrying your NOVAFON with you, we recommend
locking the device to prevent it from accidentally switch-
ing itself on while in your bag / case. To do this, press the
ON / OFF button until you see an open lock and a circle clos-
ing around the display. As soon as the circle closes com-
pletely, the lock will also be displayed as closed. The display
will then switch off. The device switches off briefly after 20
minutes of use. Devices are designed for 20 min use, 15 min
break Longer use than 20 min has no medical advantage;
34
the expected effect (pain relief, improvement in motor skills
etc.) is often achieved after 5 to 10 min use.

4.3. SETTING THE INTENSITY / STRENGTH

You can regulate the intensity of your device by press-
ing the Intensity buttons UP or DOWN. Here you can
choose from three intensity settings: low ( ) to high ( ).
You can check the intensity setting by looking at the ring
around the display (see view 1). The device is set to start on
the lowest intensity setting by default ( ). This also corre-
sponds to NOVAFON's recommendations for treatment i.e.
start at low intensity and increase as required, according to
each individual's sensitivity.
TIP: Using the NOVAFON app you can adapt the intensity
within the individual levels.
NOTE: The best vibration is achieved when the device is op-
erated without additional contact pressure. If your device
automatically switches to a lower setting, or you are unable
to increase the intensity, this is probably due to a low battery
level. In this case, you should charge your device.
NOTE: In case excessive pressure is applied, the drive will
lock; a click can be heard and the vibration stops. The vibra-
tion can also stop without resting by applying a lot of pressure.
If you use the device only at the highest intensity, the over-
heating protection may be activated to protect the device
from damage. The symbol ( ) appears on the display. When
the symbol appears, you can continue to use the device, but
no longer at the highest intensity. The device automatically
switches to a lower intensity where temperatures are uncrit-
ical. Usually, you can continue to work at lower intensities;
however, in exceptional cases the device can switch off com-
pletely. Please note that the devices are generally designed for
short-term operation, which means that after 20 minutes of
use, the devices should be switched of for at least 15 minutes.

4.4. CHARGING

To charge the device, you should only use the supplied power
plug and cable, or the NOVAFON charging stand if includ-
ed (depending on the model, the charging stand may not be
included in delivery). To charge your device, first connect
the cable to the device or charging stand and then to the
