• Start/Pause Button: Press to start the vibration plate or to stop it during operation.
• Speed + Button: Increases the speed (Manual 1-30).

• Time/Program: Shows the remaining workout time.

Vibration Patterns (P1 Program Example):

The P1 program illustrates three distinct vibration patterns:

• P1 Oscillating: The vibration intensity (0-30) follows a triangular wave pattern, increasing and decreasing over 30-second intervals, repeating every 1 minute. The total duration is 10 minutes.
• P1 Vibration: Similar to oscillating, but representing a different vibration type. The intensity (0-30) also follows a triangular wave pattern over 30-second intervals, repeating every 1 minute for a total of 10 minutes.
• P1 Oscillating + Vibration: A combined pattern where both oscillating and vibration types are active. The intensity (0-30) follows a triangular wave pattern over 30-second intervals, repeating every 1 minute for a total of 10 minutes.

Storage and Maintenance

Surface Cleaning

• The rubber protective top mat and covers can be cleaned with a wet cloth containing detergent. The detergent should then be removed with a dry cloth.
• Do not clean the vibration plate with corrosive detergents such as benzene or thinner, as this may cause fading, corrosion, or cracks on the vibration plate's shell.
• Do not splash water into the vibration plate to avoid short circuits.

Cleaning the Remote Controller

Only a dry cloth should be used to clean the remote controller, as a wet cloth may cause malfunction. It is recommended to remove the battery first when cleaning the remote controller.

Storage and Maintenance

• Make sure that the power switch is turned off and the plug is removed from the power supply.
• Clean off dust and dirt from the vibration plate and keep it clean and away from places with high temperature or high humidity.
• If the vibration plate is not in use for a long period, a dust-proof cover (to be purchased separately) should be applied to prevent dust entry.

Change of Fuse

Turn the fuse base in the direction of the arrow (counter-clockwise) to remove, and replace the fuse by screwing it back in clockwise.

Troubleshooting

The vibration plate cannot be started:

• The plug is not in place: Insert the plug to resolve.
• The power switch is in Off mode: Turn the power switch to ON mode.
• Thermal fuse is burnt: Replace with a new fuse of the same model.

Sound like "phew" or "da-da" is heard during working:

This is normal operational sounds produced by the motor or from the abrasion between mechanical parts.

The controller operates, but the vibration plate takes no action:

• The battery power of the remote is low: Replace the battery to resolve.
• The remote control is out of the receiver's reach: Make sure the space between the sender and receiver is not blocked and not over 2.5 meters.

Sudden stop of the unit:

The default or pre-set working time is up. Restart the unit after a 10-minute interval.

Unit does not respond to commands:

Too many commands were sent to the unit in a short time and cannot be processed simultaneously. Restart the unit, unplug the power cord for at least 5 seconds, and then start the unit to resolve.

Display shows ER01 or ER02:

Motor power problem and the unit stops to protect from damage. Restart the unit, unplug the power cord for at least 5 seconds, and then start the unit to resolve.
