of the body, such as the neck, face and hands, make sure to
only work with low intensities.

5.2. GENERAL INFORMATIONS FOR USE

The different frequencies have different effects, so 100 Hz
is used in particular to reduce pain, but also to activate
muscles. 75 Hz, in particular, increase the muscle exci-
tation potential and thus enable muscle activation and

training preparation, especially in everyday sports, 50 Hz,
on the other hand, serve to detonate the muscles and thus

help in general relaxation, but also in relaxation of spastic
muscles.
Treatment should not exceed a maximum of 20 minutes per
session, nor a maximum of 3 sessions per day. Please note
that after 20 minutes of use, the NOVAFON should be swit-
ched off for 15 minutes in order to avoid overheating. The
device automatically switches to stand-by mode after 20 mi-
nutes of continuous use. When treating severely painful or
sensitive parts of the body (e.g. face, neck, head), you should
reduce / adjust the duration of treatment according to each
individual's sensitivity.
NOTE: Application of liniments: Apply only a thin layer of
creams, ointments or cosmetic / medicinal liniments to the
skin, or place a fine cloth between the device and the skin.
Do not allow liquids or residues to penetrate the NOVAFON
as this may cause damage. After using agents of this type,
make sure you clean the device thoroughly.
NOTE: Discontinue treatment immediately if side effects
occur (chapter 6).

5.3. SELF-APPLICATION AT HOME

Taking into account the contraindications (chapter 6), move
the NOVAFON device in a straight line, selectively or in slow-
ly circling movements on or around the treatment area.
The NOVAFON device can also be applied at trigger points.
In case of uncertainty, please consult your treating physi-
cian 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 pres-
sure over the body area. Use the entire surface of the attach-
ment. This is the only way the penetration depth effect of the
NOVAFON device can be fully deployed and the vibrations are
transmitted optimally. Use only the NOVAFON device's own
weight for a comfortable application.
More detailed information on possible treatment sequences
can be found in our application book (enclosed with the de-
livery or online in our download area at www.novafon.com)
TIP: With the APP you can save your favorite combination of
frequency and intensity permanently and call it up directly
for each application.
