OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! BEFORE OPERATING THIS DEVICE: Read all warnings at the beginning of this manual. If you do not understand these operating instructions, contact Hyperice at +1.949.565.4994. Make sure that the equipment operating environment meets the specifications otherwise unexpected consequences, e.g. damage tot he equipment, could result. The operating environment of the equipment must meet the requirements specified in this manual. If device is exposed to extreme temperatures, allow device to acclimate to ambient temperature for 30 minutes before use.

SET UP THE DEVICE

1. Step 1: Plug the charger into an electrical outlet and then into the Normatec Elite control unit. The charger has a bifurcated cable so you can charge your left and right Normatec Elite legs at the same time.This control unit is equipped with a lithium-ion battery. The battery automatically charges when the charger is connected to the Normatec Elite control unit and an electrical outlet. Battery status indicator lights show charge status; one light is low battery, five lights is fully charged

2. Step 2: Put the device on. The control units should sit towards the outside of either leg. Find a comfortable position sitting, reclined, or lying down. Never try to use the device with the zipper partially or totally unzipped—this could void your warranty.
   Besure to zip the legs fully before starting treatment to prevent damage to your Normatec Elite

3. Step 3: Press the power button on the Normatec Elite control unit firmly for one second to turn on the device. While the control unit is on, the display will light up and show the current settings for Level, Time and ZoneBoost.

ADJUST THE PRESSURE LEVEL
Adjust the pressure level of the session by pressing the pressure level adjustment button on the left of the level indicators. Pressure level 1 is the gentlest setting. The massage becomes more intense as the pressure level is increased. Level can be adjusted while the session is running.

ADJUST THE SESSION TIME
Adjust the session time by pressing the time adjustment button on the left of the display screen. The session time can be set to 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. Time can be adjusted while the session is running. Tap the time adjustment buttons to cycle through the session time options to add or subtract time from the session.

USE ZONEBOOST™
During your session, you can increase the intensity of a single zone with the ZoneBoost feature. ZoneBoost is designed to be used when you want extra attention in a specific area. ZoneBoost will add an extra 60 seconds of massage time, as well as 10 mmHg increased pressure, in the selected zone. ZoneBoost can be enabled before or during a session. Only one zone can be boosted at a time. To boost a zone press the ZoneBoost button until the display shows the number of the zone you want to boost. To disable ZoneBoost press the ZoneBoost button until the display shows “ – “.

The zones on the attachment are numbered in ascending order from distal zone to proximal zone. Zone 1 would be your foot/ankle, Zone 2 would be your calf, Zone 3 your knee, Zone 4 lower quad and Zone 5 upper quad.

START THE SESSION
To start the session, tap the Start/Stop button.

PATENTED NORMATEC PULSE MASSAGE PATTERN
Before the patented Normatec Pulse massage pattern begins, you will experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the inflatable boots are calibrated to your exact body shape. Once the pre-inflate cycle is complete, the patented Normatec Pulse massage pattern will begin by compressing your feet. Similar to the kneading and stroking performed during a massage, each zone of the boots will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release as the compression pattern works its way up your leg. When the top zone completes its massage, there will be a brief rest period and then the cycle will begin again. This will repeat until the session time runs out. When the session is resumed after a pause, the device will perform a pre-inflate cycle before continuing.

STOP OR PAUSE THE SESSION
To stop the session at any time, tap the Start/Stop button. This will pause the session. To restart your paused session, tap the Start/Stop button again. If you are done using the device, turn off the device by pressing the power button and remove the inflatable boots from your limbs.
To remove the boots, fully unzip the garment and then remove.

FINISH THE SESSION
The session will continue massaging until time runs out and the display reads Finishing Cycle. The device will continue until the current cycle is finished. When the session is completed, turn off the control unit by pressing the power button and remove the boots from your limbs.
To remove the boots, fully unzip the garment and then remove.

TURN OFF THE CONTROL UNIT
To turn off the device, press the power button and confirm that the LED indicators and display is off.

USING HYPERSYNC™
Your Normatec Elite devices arrive paired, which means they will inflate and deflate on the same cycle. To unpair devices, press and hold the Start / Stop button on either device until the device screen reads “Unpaired!” and the white pairing indicator light is no longer illuminated. To pair your devices, turn on both devices by pressing and holding the power (ON/OFF) button. Then press and hold Start / Stop button on either control unit until the display screen says “Pairing!” Finally, press and hold the Start / Stop button on the other device until both devices say “Pairing!” and the white pairing indicator light is illuminated.
