8b-9b A small animated symbol indicating the
motivation to which the programme belongs.
8c-9c Session progression scale:
The progression scale is composed of three dis-
tinct parts: the programme consists of three
stimulation sequences, i.e., warming up (light
hatching /left), the actual work (black area/cen-
tre) and relaxation at the end of the programme
(heavier hatching/right).
The progression scale can be also entirely
hatched: the programme then consists of a sin-
gle stimulation sequence.
The small cursor located just below the scale
moves horizontally and indicates precisely the
state of progression of the programme (here:
start of the first sequence, i.e., the work
sequence).
8d-9d Contraction and active rest time bar:
This bar is displayed at the right of the progres-
sion scale, but only during the work sequence. It
indicates the duration of the contraction and ac-
tive rest times.
8d The cursor is located under the black (left)
part of the bar: you are in a muscular contrac-
tion phase.
9d The cursor is located under the hatched
(right) part of the bar: you are in an active rest
phase.
The stimulation energy during the
active rest phase is automatically
set at 50% of the stimulation energy dur-
ing the muscular contraction.
8e-9e Bar charts:
8e The muscular contraction phase is repre-
sented by the bar charts of the stimulation
channels used (which become black during the
contraction phase).
9e The active rest phase is represented by the
bar charts of the stimulation channels used
(which become hatched during the active rest
phase).
8f-9f You can interrupt the programme mo-
mentarily ( = "PAUSE") by pressing the
STOP
"On/Off" key. If you wish to restart the session,
simply press the "+"/"–" key of channel 4.
After an interruption, stimulation
restarts at 80% of the stimulation
energy set before the STOP .

10a During the session, the Compex "bleeps"
and some symbols start to flash above the active
channels (over the energy indications): the Com-
pex is prompting you to increase the stimulation
energy level. If you cannot support an increase of
the energy, just ignore this message.

11a At the end of the session, you hear a musi-
cal signal and a small flag is displayed.
11b It is then only necessary to switch off the
stimulator by pressing the "On/Off" key ( ).

8. Electricity consumption

Use only alkaline batteries 1.5 V,
size AA, LR6.
Never leave the batteries inside your
device if you do not intend to use it for a
long period of time. Batteries may leak
and damage your unit. If the batteries
show signs of a leak, avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. In case of contact,
wash surface with water and contact your
doctor.
he Compex runs on four alkaline
T
batteries 1.5 V. Their working life de-
pends on the programmes and stimu-
lation energy used.
efore using your stimulator for the
B
first time, insert the four batteries into
the battery compartment (see section
1: "Inserting and replacing the
batteries").
he symbol of a small battery indi-

12a The small battery is empty and it is ani-
mated: batteries are flat. You must replace them
(see section 1: "Inserting and replacing the
batteries).

above the "+"/"–" key of channel 4 has disap-

Electrode fault

13a-14a The Compex "bleeps" and
alternatively displays the symbol of a couple of
electrodes and an arrow pointing to the channel
where a problem has been detected. Above, the
stimulator has detected an electrode fault on
channel 2. This message may mean that:
1) there is no electrode connected to this
channel;
2) the electrodes are old, worn out and/or the
contact is poor: try using new electrodes;
3) the electrode cable is defective: try it using
another channel. If cable shows a default again,
please replace.
