My slendertone belt keeps beeping with a triangle next to it. I can't turn up the intensity and it won't vibrate but I'm not sure why. What's the problem?

I just replaced new pads but that triangle still appear. Can't really do anything with the belt right now. Really frustrating.

    To fix the problem, you don't need new batteries or new pads. Instead, put rubbing alcohol generously all over your stomach and then place the pads back on. Your Slendertone will work again like new. You're welcome.

The left pad looked a little worn just in the middle, so I moved it slightly to the right, still got the flashing triangle and beeps. Took a battery out for 5 seconds, put it back in and all worked perfectly.

I WET THE PADS AND IT WORKED. It has to do with the fact that the pads aren't sticking well to the skin. I wet the pads on the black side that sticks to the skin. Works like a charm. No new pads yet

By properly placing the new pads and removing the plastic protectors, the beeping was still going on while the triangle remains on the screen. However, upon wearing the belt, the beeping sound and triangle went away resulting the intensity levels to function properly.

SOURCE: I just replaced the pads

Triangle error code denotes a pad contact problem.

These are the solutions for this error:

The triangle symbol has appeared on the LCD*
Pads not covering metal stud

Pads are worn


Pads on wrong way around


Liners still on the pads
Reposition pads

Contact your local distributor for new Slendertone pads

Ensure black surface of pad is facing you

Ensure liners are removed from both sides of the pads
In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Slendertone keeps beeping

the beeping its becouse there is no contact between the pads and the skin (1), or the cables and the pads (2), or the cables and the controller (3).

what the manufacturer says:
try to change the pads by new ones

i did that, but still not working.

what i do:
i had the second problem, but i fix it, i cut the cloth in the back part of the pin (not in the front of the pin), and i discover that the cable that is attached to the pin was cut, i remove the the pin, then i replaced with a bolt, i attch the cable to the bolt and thats all.
i'm using it right now and its works great.

i answer on another post similar to this one, a put a link to my google account where you can see pictures of what i did.

thums up! thank you!

Vibration Intensity?

Most cell phones don't allow you to control the intensity of the vibration... you can only turn it on or off. However, if you get a rubber case for the phone that might help, because it will absorb some of the vibration.
