Ab command IX2 User manual

THANK YOU

On behalf of the entire team at Thane Direct, we appreciate your recent

purchase of the AbCommand™ iX2™ ﬁtness belt.

How the AbCommand™ iX2™ Fitness Belt Works

The AbCommand™ iX2™ ﬁtness belt is not an ordinary massager.

This advanced unit uses gentle electronic stimulation to contract and

release (exercise) your muscles. You will see your own muscles moving.

There are NO vibrations or sounds from the unit at all. The AbCommand™

iX2™ ﬁtness belt uniquely targets front, side and back muscle groups

at the same time for maximum beneﬁts and fastest results. When you

switch the unit on, the LCD display will light up indicating that your

AbCommand™ iX2™ ﬁtness belt is working properly. After you have

selected either the small or the large belt, depending on your needs,

and ﬁt the belt directly onto the area you want to work, you should switch

the unit on. Choose a program and intensity level as described on the

workout pages in this manual.

Monitor, evaluate and share your exercise goals ONLINE at

www.MyAbCommand.com.

Enjoy your AbCommand™ iX2™ ﬁtness belt, and once again thank you!

may cause rhythm disturbances, which could be fatal.

- Over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.

- If you are epileptic.

- After experiencing acute trauma or fracture.

- Following recent surgery.

- If you have a hernia (abdominal or lingual).

- To the frontal, laryngeal or temporal regions of the neck.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt combines powerful and fun EMS stimulation

with the latest in ﬁtness technology and lets you record, synchronize,

monitor, evaluate and share your training goals and results online.

The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt generates small and gentle electrical

pulses that are delivered inside the belt placed on your skin. The

AbCommand™ iX2™ belt sends a signal to your muscle and causes it to

contract and then relax. These impulses are designed to copy the natural

nerve signal and to obtain efﬁcient, pleasant muscular contractions,

which repeat again and again.

Clinical research trials have been conducted to test the effectiveness of

the AbCommand™ iX2™ device. The performance of the AbCommand™

iX2™ device has been enhanced with 8 pre-programmed modes for easy

use with maximum beneﬁts and results. The programs are speciﬁcally

designed for the respective exercise areas.

BELT PLACEMENT

As everyone is created differently, exact positioning of the AbCommand™

iX2™ belt will vary from person to person. The ideal positioning is

adjacent to the motor nerve. While the device is operating you will be

able to move the AbCommand™ iX2™ belt on the muscle to ﬁnd the

most effective placement. As you move the belt by small amounts you

will notice contractions becoming either stronger or weaker. The best

position is when the strongest contraction is felt.

Size range for large belt exercise:

Belt Min. Size: ~24 inch = ~61 cm

Belt Max.Size: 46~47 inch = 117~119 cm

Belt resize procedure:

In order to have an optimum ﬁt the belt has a special solution to reduce

the size. This unique technique allows the back channels to stay centred

and generate additional soft pressure of the Conductive Pads against

your skin.

This guarantees maximum comfort and ease of use. Please follow these

instructions to reduce the size of the belt:

We recommend to evenly reduce the size in the front and two back

positions to have the rear channel pads in the center of your back.

BELT PLACEMENT – CONTINUED

The Conductive Pads can be placed in many different positions, thus

allowing more speciﬁc targeting of muscle groups.

There is a belt with hook-and-loop fasteners that can be used to

effectively target individual muscle groups. Use of the correct sized belt

is the key to achieving the best possible results.

The diagrams in this booklet are provided as a starting recommendation

only. AbCommand™ iX2™ is a personalised training tool and can be

adapted to suit the individual. Its intended use is for general physical

conditioning. The diagrams shown below use letters to indicate proper

belt placement. If the contractions are not effective, move the belt

around a little until you can feel strong muscle contractions.
