ASKO R31842I (01) PDF SUMMARY:

What should you note before using the Womanizer?

To make sure you get real pleasure from your Womanizer from the start, you should note a few things:

  • Before using the charging device for the first time, check the local voltage level, since the local mains voltage may not exceed the maximum mains voltage given on the device.
  • Never immerse the charging device or charging cable in water or other fluids.
  • Do not rinse the charging device and charging cable in running water.
  • Check the stimulation device regularly for any damage.
  • Do not use the device if one of the components is damaged.

What should you know about the Womanizer’s rechargeable battery?

When you first hold the Womanizer in your hands, the rechargeable battery is only pre-charged for a short period of use. Since the rechargeable battery may have discharged fully due to environmental influences, we recommend that you fully charge the Womanizer before your first use. The charging process takes about two hours. If your Womanizer becomes warm during the charging process, this is entirely normal. After charging, you can experience up to 240 minutes of sensual pleasure with your Womanizer. The duration of the actual operating time depends on how intensively you enjoy your time with the Womanizer.

What does the charging status display show?

Your Womanizer has three LEDs. These serve two purposes:

  • On the one hand, they show the mode in which the device is currently set (manual or autopilot).
  • On the other hand, they display the charging status while charging.

The charging status display appears as soon as you switch on the Womanizer with the On/Off button.

What do the LEDs indicate about the charging status?

The following may appear:

  1. All three LEDs light up. The rechargeable battery is fully charged.
  2. The lower two LEDs light up. The rechargeable battery is half charged.
  3. The bottom LED flashes. The rechargeable battery is nearly empty. You should charge the rechargeable battery on your Womanizer after the next application.

What steps should you take to charge the Womanizer?

Please take the following steps if you wish to charge the rechargeable battery in your Womanizer:

  1. Make sure that your Womanizer and the charging device are dry.
  2. Connect the USB charging cable to a suitable USB connection (such as an adapter or PC, or similar).
  3. Place the charging head on the magnetic pins.
  4. Despite the magnetic attraction of the pins, make sure that the charging head is optimally positioned on the device and your Womanizer is in a secure position for charging.
  5. During the charging process, all three LEDs flash in succession.
  6. Once your Womanizer is charged, all three LEDs light up at the same time and you can remove the charging cable.

How do you turn the Womanizer on and off?

Keep the on/off button pressed down for two seconds.

How do I manually increase and decrease intensity levels?

  1. Keep the button © pressed down for two seconds to switch on your Womanizer. Please note that when switching on your Womanizer you do not touch the stimulation attachment, since otherwise, the Smart Silence function is not guaranteed.
  2. Lightly splay apart your labia with your fingers to expose your clitoris.
  3. Now you can place the stimulation attachment (F) tightly onto your clitoris, applying slight pressure, so that it is held in the oval opening of the stimulation attachment.
  4. As soon as the stimulation attachment sits perfectly on your clitoris, you can start – and the moment is yours alone. Experience it however you want: If you want more intensity, briefly click the button (E+) and the intensity increases by one level. You can repeat this eleven times to reach the highest level of intensity. With each click, all three LEDs light up at the same time. Once you have reached the highest level, you will see no further change to the LEDs.
  5. To reduce the intensity, click on the button (E –) briefly. The intensity is decreased by one level for each click. Here, too, all three LEDs light up at the same time with each click.
  6. To hold your Womanizer in the desired position, you can close your thighs. Naturally, you can also simply hold the device in your hand.
  7. Once your personal Womanizer moment has passed, simply switch off the device by pressing the button © for approx. two seconds.

What is a small tip for using the Womanizer?

If you notice that the stimulation attachment doesn’t yet have the optimal fit, switch between the two stimulation attachments (S and M) included with the device to create the best feeling for you.

What is Smart Silence?

With Smart Silence, your Womanizer is only active when you use it on your clitoris. That makes it not only more discreet while in use, but also more pleasurable for you. Your Womanizer only starts as soon as it touches the surface of your skin. This works entirely independently of the mode that the Womanizer is in (manual mode, going up or down levels, or on Autopilot). Smart Silence always starts from the level that was last selected or from the mode of the Autopilot function that was last set.

How do I deactivate the Smart Silence function?

If you wish to deactivate the Smart Silence function, hold the two buttons (E+) and (E–) simultaneously for approx. two seconds. You will notice that the function has been switched off when your Womanizer is permanently active – in other words, not only when placed on your skin.

What is Autopilot?

With the Autopilot button, you can let go completely and be spoiled by your Womanizer. Relax and use the button for the Autopilot function to select the intensity mode.

How do I activate the Autopilot function?

Press the Autopilot button (D) when you wish to activate the Autopilot function.

  • After activation, you will automatically be taken to the first mode. The first mode is the Soft Mode between intensity levels 1 and 4. Here, the lowest LED (B1) lights up.
  • When you press the plus button (E+), you are taken to Medium Mode, between intensity levels 1 and 8. Here, the middle LED (B2) lights up.
  • When you press the plus button (E+) again, you are taken to Intensive Mode, between intensity levels 1 and 12. Here, the top LED (B3) lights up.

Your Womanizer runs on Autopilot in the intensity range selected by you. This means that in your moment of pleasure, you no longer need to operate the buttons of the Womanizer, but can experience your orgasm in an entirely unexpected and surprisingly new way. Time and again – just as you like it. In this way, the Autopilot also helps you build up your orgasm for longer, allowing you to experience it even more intensely.

How do I deactivate the Autopilot function?

If you do not wish to use the Autopilot function, you can deactivate it by briefly pressing the Autopilot button. This takes you automatically to manual Womanizer mode.

What is the Standby function?

The Standby function allows you to use your Womanizer in a particularly battery-friendly, convenient way. When the device is not in use, it switches itself off after five minutes.

What does the LED display look like when in Manual Mode?

All three LEDs are on.

What does the LED display look like when in Autopilot?

Only one LED is on.

  • The lower LED is on (B1). SOFT MODE
  • The middle LED is on (B2). MEDIUM MODE
  • The upper LED is on (B3). INTENSE MODE

What does the LED display look like when the battery is fully charged?

All three LEDs are on (B1, B2, and B3).

What does the LED display look like when the battery is half charged?

The lower two LEDs are on (B1 and B2).

What does the LED display look like when the battery will soon run out of charge?
