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!

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.
1) Open back & fold in belt 2) Back view while wearing belt

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.

21
EXERCISE GUIDANCE
During the first week, you should give your muscles time to adjust to their
new work-out. Use the unit for a maximum of 10 minutes per muscle
group, once or twice a day, with a minimum of 4 hours resting time in
between each exercise session.
After the first week, you can use the AbCommand™ iX2™ belt for
a maximum of 30 minutes per muscle group, 3 times a day, with a
minimum of 4 hours resting time between sessions. You should adjust
your exercise routine to your personal fitness level and you should always
ensure that you feel comfortable.
To avoid unnecessary discomfort and ensure maximum performance,
please replace the Conductive Pads after a while, or sooner if their effect
becomes weak or erratic.
MAINTENANCE
The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt is made of quality materials. The only
maintenance required with the AbCommand™ iX2™ is to clean the
Conductive Pads and belt gently from time to time, and to replace the
battery when needed. Please refer to page 23 for detailed cleaning
methods.
The Conductive Pads are a consumable item and can wear with use,
depending on the gel you are using, your own body fluids and how often
you use the belt. A discoloration of the conductive area and a “crumbled
look” after many uses, however, is normal. NEVER BEND the Conductive
Pads! Worn Conductive Pads can reduce the performance of the unit
or cause the belt to feel erratic. Wear and tear is not covered by the
product warranty.
If several people want to share the AbCommand™ iX2™ belt you can
easily detach the computer unit by unsnapping it from the neoprene
center and use it on your own personal belt for hygienic reasons. Just
pull the unit off and put it on a new belt.
The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt is energy efficient. The batteries last for
approximately 30 sessions of ten minutes each. If the output becomes
22
weak or the unit switches off automatically in less than 10 minutes, it is
time to change the batteries (even if the LCD is still lit up).
The micro-control unit is reliably built and uses SMT technology. It is
maintenance-free and will give you many years of trouble free usage.
Cleaning:
- Machine washing and soaking is PROHIBITED.
- Do not wash the belt in fabric softener as this can damage the belt.
- Do not dry clean.
- Do not use bleach.
- Clean accessories with a slightly wet sponge with detergent, and
wipe with a cloth.
- Clean the unit with a cloth soaked in disinfectant (Mercryl type)
diluted in water at 1/10th.
- Clean the electrodes with a mix of water/hypoallergenic
detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
23
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. How does the AbCommand™ iX2™ fitness belt really work?
A. The AbCommand™ iX2™ fitness belt is designed to copy the
messages sent from your brain to the muscle during exercise.
This message causes the muscle to contract and relax.
Q. Can muscles become over-developed or strained when
using this device?
A.
No - the principle is the same for general training of muscles
- the
more exercise, with suitable periods of rest, the stronger
the muscles become.
Q. Can this device be used for all ages?
A.
No. The AbCommand™ iX2™ belt is suitable for use only by adults.
Q. Will I find it uncomfortable?
A. As long as the Conductive Pads are moist and kept firmly
against the skin you will not feel any unpleasantness. At low
intensity you will feel a slight tingling sensation but as the
intensity gets higher you will only feel pleasant contractions.
Start using it on your upper abs first, not directly over the belly
button where most people are most sensitive.
Q. Should the intensity settings be the same for each muscle?
A. Each muscle will respond differently, so intensities will
accordingly be different. Move the belt around to find the right
trigger point that gives you maximum contractions.
Q. Are there any contra-indications to use of the device?
A. Yes - Please carefully read all warnings and precautions on
pages 2-4 of this manual.
Q. I am getting a prickling sensation but no contractions.
A. Move the belt slightly to find the right trigger points that give
maximum contractions and the most pleasant feeling. Try
increasing the intensity. This could also be caused because
either the belt does not have enough Conductive Gel on it
(water-based) or is not tightly placed against the skin. Failing
this, remove the belt and wash the inner surface with a wet
cloth and soapy water to remove body oils.
24
Q. I noticed a redness of the skin after using the device.
Is this a problem?
A. A slight redness of the skin after a session with the
AbCommand™ iX2™ fitness belt is normal. It should
fade quickly. Some redness may also be caused by pressure to
the skin from the stretched belt. You should not be concerned
about this. If the redness is excessive, you may not have used
enough Conductive Gel and/or one or more of the Conductive
Pads may have dried out during a longer session. Try using
more Conductive Gel the next time, replenish it after each
10 minute session and use a lower intensity level.
