12. FAQS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why can I not feel any stimulation?
• Is the BOOSTER charged? It needs to charge for
at least one hour before being used.
• Have you connected the correct channel? Ch1
in the APP controls the intensity of the muscle
group connected to Ch1 on the BOOSTER. Ch2
in the APP controls the intensity of BOOSTER
Ch2 .
• Is the BOOSTER connected to the CALF-
GUARDS? Make sure that the magnetic heads
are properly connected to the buttons on the
ANTELOPE.CALF-GUARDS.
• Are the electrodes placed correctly? Make sure
that you have put the product on according to
the instructions in Section 9.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. What can I do?
• Make sure that the black silicone electrodes on
the inside of the CALF-GUARDS are placed cor-
rectly and lie at on your skin. ATTENTION: If
you need to adjust the electrodes please switch
the BOOSTER o rst.
• You can try adding some moisture (water)
to the electrodes or the skin underneath the
electrodes to increase the conductivity. ATTEN-
TION: Before adding water, please switch the
BOOSTER o rst!
• Check if the magnetic heads are connected to
the buttons placed on the CALF-GUARDS and if
the cable is plugged into the BOOSTER.
Should I worry about skin redness and irritations?
• Minor redness after using the ANTELOPE.CALF-
GUARDS or EMS in general is perfectly normal.
It is mainly caused by increased blood circula-
tion and should disappear within a couple of
minutes after you take o the product.
• Another reason might be pressure marks
caused by the compression. This is nothing to
worry about. However, you should not wear
the CALF-GUARDS for several hours.
• Severe irritation might derive from too high
stimulation intensity. The next time you use the
ANTELOPE.CALF-GUARDS try to start at a lower
level and slowly increase the intensity.
• Extreme redness might be caused by an allergic
reaction to the material of the electrodes. If the
skin redness does not disappear for several
hours, please consult a physician, especially
before you use your ANTELOPE.CALF-GUARDS
the next time.
I have a prickling sensation in my extremities. Is
that normal?
Yes, it is, although only few people have that feeling.
This is because the CALF-GUARDS stimulate the larger
nerves, too, which control your muscles. There is no
problem with that as long as it does not feel uncom-
fortable.
Does the product cause sore muscles?
As with any intense muscular activity you can expect
to have sore muscles depending on the intensity and
complexity of your workout. Since EMS stimulates the
muscle more intensively, you might experience stron-
ger soreness after the rst sessions until you get used
to working out with EMS. To get used to working out
with the ANTELOPE.CALF-GUARDS, please follow the
instructions given in this manual and within the infor-
mation in the ANTELOPE.APP.
