Safety notes
Warning
• Use the belt only:
– on humans,
– for external use,
– for the purpose for which it was developed and in
the manner specified in these instructions for use.
• Use the unit in the lower back area only! Using it on
other body parts can cause severe health problems.
• A slight reddening of the skin after use is normal and
disappears after a short time. Do not use the belt again
until reddening has disappeared.
• In case of more severe skin irritation, discontinue treat-
ment and consult a physician.

Notes about the electrodes
Important
• Never apply the electrodes to injured skin areas.
• Max. recommended initial value for electrodes:
5 mA/cm².
• Effective current density levels over 2 mA/cm² require
increased attention on the part of the user.
• The electrodes must always be sufficiently moist when
in use.
3. Start-up
Putting on the belt
The back belt is intended for individual treatment of pain
in the lower back area. Before each use, ensure that your
skin is clean and free of creams or oils. Only in this way
the unit can work optimally.
• Lay out the belt before you with the electrodes facing
you.
• Moisten the electrodes and your back with water. En-
sure that the electrode surfaces are moistened evenly
to avoid localised voltage peaks when they are applied
to your skin.
• Fit the belt around your waist so that the vertical se-
ams A are at the same place on each side of your
body. The Beurer logo B is then in the middle of the
spinal column.
See the diagram!
When positioned correctly, the electrodes C are
slightly to the left and right of your spinal column.
A
• Then, close the Velcro fastener.
Ensure that the belt fits tightly enough to provide
a good contact between the electrodes and your
skin, but does not constrict.
