Getting to know your device

We all know the feeling of getting in from a long, hard day with legs that feel heavy and swollen. This is usually the result of moving too little or putting one-sided pressure on the legs over a long period (for example, sitting at a desk all day, long-haul flights, or standing for extended periods). The device provides a revitalizing pressure massage that acts as a preventative to these symptoms. Compression massage has the following effect: If you have weak or diseased veins, vein valves do not close. Blood settles. The vein valve function is restored thanks to the pressure of compression massage. The blood flow to the heart is stimulated.
This revitalizing pressure massage is produced by two leg cuffs and two thigh cuffs with integrated inflating and deflating air cushions that stimulate blood circulation. Thanks to its continuously adjustable massage/air pressure intensity, the leg compression massager can be individually adapted to your needs. The cuffs are alternately inflated, helping to reduce swelling and heavy legs. The treatment also relieves muscle tension in the foot, calf, and thigh areas. Varicose veins, varicose vein symptoms, and spider veins can be prevented. The venous blood circulation is also improved through the restoration of the vein function. The cuffs can be adjusted individually to the leg using the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure a comfortable fit.
Its compact design and the supplied carrying bag make the leg compression massager suitable for use both at home and on the go.
Note
The leg compression massager can be reused once the cuffs have been cleaned.

Use

Starting treatment

IMPORTANT:

• Avoid undoing the cuff hook-and-loop fastener during use as this could impair the functionality of the device.
  Only open the cuff hook-and-loop fastener if the pressure on your legs becomes uncomfortable during use
  or press the stop button.

• Make sure the air hoses do not become kinked during use.

• Do not cover the cuffs with a blanket or other objects during use.

1.  Always follow the instructions in the “Initial use” section.
2. Place the leg and thigh cuffs one at a time securely over your thighs, lower legs, and feet as shown; have your legs  bare or wear close-fitting clothing
   (e.g. tights).
   The cuffs should be fastened so that two fingers can still fit under the cuffs. If the cuffs feel too tight, fasten the cuffs so that you can get your flat hand under them.

IMPORTANT:
If you are using the lower-leg cuffs only, you do not need to put on the thigh cuffs.

3. For best results, your legs should be elevated/slightly bent during the treatment to aid circulation.
• Both the leg and thigh cuff for the left leg is marked with an „L“ on the inside.
• Both the leg and thigh cuff for the right leg is marked with an „R“ on the inside.| |

a.Using the thigh and lower-leg cuffs

Connect the white air hoses with the cuffs.
Ensure the air hoses are securely in place and cannot slip.
Connect the other end of the air hose to the air inlet (“in”) on the hand switch.| | |
---|---|---|---

b. Using the lower-leg cuffs

Connect the grey air hoses to the lower-leg cuffs
(1.). Ensure the air hoses are securely in place and cannot slip.
Connect the other end of the air hose to the air inlet („in“) on the hand switch (2.).|
---|---

IMPORTANT
If you wish to switch between the two applications (application with or without the thigh cuff), make sure you do not remove the two short, white end pieces that are attached to the lower-leg cuff. These are needed forboth applications.

4. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the device.
Once the device is switched on, the 20-minute timer LED lights up.
5. Please note that the timer begins to count again when you change the timer setting.
IMPORTANT
We recommend an application time of 20 to 30 minutes. Using the massager for long periods could result in a
feeling of numbness in the legs and could cause the device to overheat.|
---|---
6. The intensity is adjusted using the air pressure controller. Start at the lowest level so that you get used to the massage gradually.
For best effects, the intensity should be set high, but at a level where it is still comfortable.|
7. Press the „timer“ button to switch among three kinds of timing time which are 10 minutes, 20  minutes, and 30 minutes. When start-up, the default is 20 minutes. When the remaining time is 5 minutes, the current time indicator slowly flashes; when the remaining time is 1 minute, the current time indicator quickly flashes.|
---|---
8. In the process of using, if you feel the pressure is too much or not comfortable, press the „stop“ button to stop the treatment.|

Note
The device will now start to massage the legs alternately. The legs will never be massaged at the same time. This is not an indication that the device is faulty.
The device features an automatic switch-off function, which is set to the maximum operating duration of 30 minutes.
If the batteries are almost flat, the timer LEDs begin to flash from right to left. The device will switch off after a few seconds and then be in a 30-second standby mode. During this time, all 3 timer LEDs light up.

Concluding treatment

To stop the treatment, you should first switch the device off and then let the air out of the cuffs.
Proceed as follows:

1. Switch the device off by pressing the ON/OFF button on the hand switch. The set timer LED goes out. The device is now in standby mode for 30 seconds. During this time, all 3 timer LEDs will be activated.|
---|---
2. Remove the air hose from the hand switch within the 30-second standby mode and insert the air hose into the air outlet ( ) on the side of the hand switch and press the air outlet button [5].
All 3 timer LEDs flash at the same time. They go out again when the process has ended.|
3 a. Then undo the hook-and-loop fasteners and take the cuffs off. Remove the white air hoses on the „Y-adapter“ from the leg cuffs, but leave the short, white end pieces on the leg cuffs as shown. Also, remove the air hose from the adapter that is located directly on the thigh cuffs. If you used the device with the mains part, remove it from the socket and the hand switch.|
---|---
3. b. Then undo the hook-and-loop fasteners and take the cuffs off. Remove the grey air hoses on the „Y- adapter“ from the leg cuffs, but leave the short end pieces on the leg cuffs as shown. If you used the device with the mains part, remove it from the socket and the hand switch.|

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the cuffs

• Always switch the device off before cleaning and remove the air hoses (apart from the short end pieces) from the cuffs and the hand switch.
• Clean the cuffs with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning.
