9. Problems and solutions
Electrode fault
he Compex "bleeps" and alternatively
T
displays the symbol of a pair of
electrodes and an arrow pointing to the
channel where a problem has been
detected. In the example above, the
stimulator has detected an error in
channel 1.
■
Check that electrodes are connected
to this channel.
■
Check whether the electrodes are old,
worn, and/or the contact is poor: try
using new electrodes.
■
Try using the stimulation cable on a
different channel. If the cable is still
showing a fault, replace it.
