Scientific Research

Scientific research on vibration therapy has been gaining momentum in recent years

While most research projects are literature reviews, some limited clinical trials with small sample sizes were conducted to test using vibration plates to treat various medical conditions and achieved some positive results.

However, due to limited resources, none of the clinical trials conducted was adequately designed to test enough variables and their combinations. Many trials were not completed as designed.

Current scientific studies have not led to consistent results to conclude any treatment modality in terms of parameters, procedure, dosage, and efficacy.

Risks, Warnings & Hazards

Excessive exposure to intensive vibration can pose a health hazard. The US Labor Department and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health advise caution for the extensive use of vibrational equipment and machinery. However, there is no set of safety standards regulated for vibration exposure.

Normal use of the VT007 vibration plate, for example, a couple of ten-minute sessions a day, would not be considered hazardous.

People with certain medical conditions may not be suitable to use the VT007. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following.

Pregnancy| Epilepsy| Kidney stones
Implant| Seizures| Bladder stone
Pacemaker| Motion sickness| Acute arthritis
Heart disease| Migraines| Detached retina
Recent surgery| |

Nausea and Dizziness

Some users can get nausea and dizziness using this machine when vibration is transmitted to their upper body and head.

You can avoid these negative effects by bending your knees or lifting your heels to control the vibration from being transmitted to your upper body and head.

In fact, squat and calf-raise are the best poses for lower limb muscle exercises. They minimize impact to knee joints and reduce vibration transmission to the upper body

New users should always begin with low vibration intensity and a short session time. Most users can gradually adapt to the vibration and overcome nausea and dizziness.

Safety Instructions

The VT007 vibration plate is intended for indoor use on a flat, dry floor, free from flammable gas or dust.

For users who lack physical strength and balance, we recommend holding onto a wall-mounted handrail or a sturdy piece of furniture

Never leave the vibration plate running unattended.

Floor Shake & Jump/Drift

[ Floor Shake ]
VT007 should be used on a solid floor that resists vibration. If used on a wood frame construction floor, the vibration can agitate your floor and the connecting walls, causing damage to your house structure over time.

We suggest you put a large EVA exercise mat beneath the vibration plate to absorb some downward transmitted vibration

[ Jump / Drift ]
If there is no body weight on the VT007, vibration can cause the machine to jump / drift on the floor. A carpeted floor can prevent the machine from drifting. You should always keep your body on the vibration plate when it is running.

EMF Exposure

Like all other household electric appliances, the VT007 vibration plate produces electric and magnetic fields (EMF).

According to EPA, there is no definitive scientific evidence demonstrating that electromagnetic fields (EMF) have an impact on health. The EPA does not establish specific levels designating EMF exposure as either safe or hazardous.

Visit our website for the EMF measurement results of the VT007 and comparisons with other common household electric appliances

Vibration Noises

The VT007 generates mechanical and soundwave noise. The noise level increases with higher vibration frequencies.

Excessive or high-pitched mechanical noise indicates defective parts or assembly error.

Visit our website for the noise measurement results of the VT007 and comparisons with other common household electric appliances.

Recommended Exercises

We highly recommend performing the following core strength physical exercises on the VT007

Tech Specifications

Connect the Control Box

The VT007 is designed with a separated plug-in type control console

Connecting the control console to the vibration unit:

1. Locate the key on the plug and the keyhole on the socket.
2. Match the key with the keyhole and then push the plug into the socket.
3. Once the plug is fully pushed into the socket, screw the plug cap onto the socket
   
   Match the key with the keyhole

Once the control console is connected to the vibration unit, you can now plug in the power cord and connect the control console to your home AC supply.

The power switch is located at the front side of the control console, next to the AC power socket.

Default Settings

When the VT007 is powered on, the default settings are as below:

• Manual control mode – P0
• Vibration frequency: 15Hz
• Amplitude: Lo (Low)
• Session time: 10 minutes

Quick Start Guide

When the VT007 is powered on, the control console digit displays light up. You can then control the machine from either the control console or remote control

You can start using your VT007 by pressing the Start button to run vibration with the default settings.

For beginners, we highly recommended starting with the default settings and short exercise time. **

Once you are adapted to the vibration, you can gradually increase the frequency, switch to Hi amplitude setting, and extend the exercise time.

VT007 has adjustable frequency from 10 to 40Hz, and two amplitude settings (Hi and Lo).

To use the program control mode, you can use P button to select program mode P1, P2 or P3 when the machine is idle.

Always keep your body on the vibration plate when it is running

. Bend you knees or lift your heels on the VT007.Adjust your position to minimize vibration noise.

If the default frequency of 15Hz is still too high for you, you may lower it down to 10Hz.

This allows you to progressively build your physical strength to endure higher frequencies

The remote control is an infra-red type. I must be pointed to the remote receive sensor on the control box to work.

For the first use, please remove the battery insulation sheet inserted at the right side of the remote control.

In the following situations, some control buttons are logically DISABLED:

1. Session time buttons and program buttons are disabled when the machine is vibrating.
2. All buttons except for the Stop button are disabled when the machine is running on program mode.

Manual Control & Program

You can use manual control or program to get your desired vibration frequency and amplitude.

Manual Mode

In manual control mode (P0), prior to initiating vibration, you have the option to set the exercise session timer between 1 and 20 minutes. The default session time is 10 minutes.

You can adjust the vibration frequency only when the machine is running. The default frequency 15Hz.

You can switch the amplitude setting between Hi and Lo at anytime

For beginners, we highly recommend starting with the default settings and shorter exercise

time. If the default frequency of 15Hz is too high for you, you may lower the frequency down to 10Hz.

Program Mode

In program mode (P1, P2, or P3), the frequency and amplitude are pre- programmed to change in a specific pattern during a 10-minute session. All buttons, except for the Start/Stop button, are disabled.

The purpose of program modes is to generate a range of patterns and levels of stimulation by varying the frequency and amplitude.

If you find it challenging to endure your desired frequency initially, consider using a program mode to ease in,  gradually progressing to a higher frequency.

The charts below illustrate the frequency changes and amplitude switches for each program mode. In P3 mode, amplitude switching is incorporated alongside frequency changes.

In these charts, each dot represents a 5-second period of vibration at a specific frequency. Green dots indicate a low amplitude setting, while red dots indicate a high amplitude setting.

Frequency & Amplitude Charts of Program Modes

Clunk Sound

The clunk sound you hear when you activate vibration and switch amplitude is a normal occurrence.

You can also hear this clunk sound in program P3 as the amplitude setting is switched between Hi and Lo multiple times in this mode.

The VT007 switches amplitude by reversing motor rotation direction to reposition the eccentric wheels. The clunk sound is produced when the eccentric wheels reverse and strike the position block.

There is also a short grinding sound, which is from the friction between eccentric wheels when they rotate to the position

The clunk and grinding sounds are not an issue. They don’t harm the machine

Recommended Exercise: Foot Muscle Training

Visit www.vibrationcare.com for its benefits and tips.

Vibration Intensity Center

At the Hi amplitude setting, the vibration intensity center is towards the control box side.

At the Lo amplitude setting, the vibration intensity center is away from the control box side.

The shift of the intensity center is because of the motor rotation reverse designed for two amplitude settings.

You should align your body weight right on the intensity center to get the best performance from the VT007 and avoid excessive vibration noise

Replacing the Fuse

The fuse box is next to the power switch. Use a screwdriver to pry it out.

The fuse is a 5 amp glass tube fuse, length 20mm, diameter 5mm, available from most hardware stores.
