ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
Assembly
First remove all components from the box and unwrap from the protective polybags.
1. Take the applicator storage bracket and fix to the back of the main unit by locating the two pins into the
holes on the unit and pushing firmly downwards to lock into place (fig. 2.0)
2. Connect the ultrasonic applicator to the main unit, taking the metal connector for the applicator and insert
into the socket on right side of the main unit (fig. 2.1). Ensure that the plug is the correct way up. To store
the applicator, ready for use, place into the storage bracket with the metal plate facing upwards (fig. 2.2)
3. Take the power cord and connect to the socket on the machine. Plug the unit into the mains (to protect the
device we recommend using a surge protected socket).
The device is now ready to use.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PRECAUTIONS ON PAGE 4 BEFORE USE
Before Beginning Your Treatment
For best results it is highly recommended to increase your hydration levels by drinking up to 2 litres of water
in the two hours before use. This will increase your body’s ability to process the metabolise fats released
during treatment within the liver and effectively flush it from the body.
It is essential that the product is used in conjunction with HoMedics UltraSlim Pro Gel. The gel helps to
conduct the ultrasound waves into the body. Without the gel, the device will not function correctly and the
ultrasound applicator may be damaged.
Ensure the treatment area is clean and dry and remove any items of clothing covering the skin in the area to
be treated. Before commencing treatment, apply the UltraSlim Pro Gel liberally to the treatment area.
What to expect during treatment
1. It is normal to experience a buzzing noise in the ears as the operating frequency is close to the lowest
frequency audible by the human ear. This will not damage the ear, but may cause some discomfort. Be
mindful if using the device around animals with sensitive hearing
NB: In areas with less fat the noise is louder. Additionally, treatment areas that are closer to the ears (e.g
arms) will result in a louder buzzing noise than areas further from the ears (e.g thighs). The sound should
stop when treatment is finished.
2. You will feel a sensation similar to pins and needles as the fat cells become impacted by the treatment. This
is perfectly normal and indicates the device is successfully treating the fat cells.
3. The metal plate on the handle will become warm during use, especially if used for 30-40 minutes. If you are
sensitive to heat you may wish to stop using the device until the handset cools down.
4. Some users experience a reddening of the skin during use which can remain for up to 2 hours after use.
5. Very occasionally mild side effects may occur, such as excessive thirst, or nausea immediately after the
treatment. This can be resolved by drinking water.
NB: If you feel excessive discomfort due to noise or other sensations during treatment, it is possible to
manually adjust the intensity – see page 8 and 9.
