5a' If the special electrode cable of the m—4
system is not connected to the stimulator, certain
programs require manual selection of the muscular
group that you want to stimulate and a figurine is
displayed above channel 1.
To select your desired group, press the "+"/"–"
key of channel 1 (to go up or down). The seven
muscular groups are displayed in succession in
black on the figurine:
vb c
Abdomen and Lower back Thighs
f j
Buttocks Legs and Feet
Current international standards require that a warning be given concerning the
application of electrodes to the thorax (increased risk of cardiac fibrillation).
5a'' When the device is connected to the m—
4 cable – and if the program you have selected
offers the feature m—1 – you have the possibi-
lity of selecting your workout in the "classic" mode
or in the m—1 mode.
By default, your Compex device is set to work in
the "classic" mode (m—1 OFF). If you would
like to select the m—1 feature (m—1 ON),
press the "+"/"–" key of channel 1.
The selected program will run in the
"classic" mode
The selected program will run in the
m—1 mode

Regardless of the selected workout mode, muscle
group selection will be done automatically. The
program will start with a short sequence known
as m—3, that automatically measures your
neuromuscular characteristics.
5a''' When the device is connected to the m—
4 cable – and if the program you have selected
does not offer the feature m—1 – the selection
area is not available (the symbol above channel 1
is solid and the corresponding zone above the
symbol is empty). As always, if the selection of a
muscle group is appropriate, the program will start
with a short sequence known as m—3, that
automatically measures your neuromuscular
characteristics.
5b The warming-up sequence suggested for some
programs is active by default (an animated rising
convection symbol above the heater). If you prefer
to skip this sequence, press the "+"/"–" key of
channel 2.
Warming-up
5c Certain programs allow you to adjust the level of work. To do this, press the "+"/"–" key of channel 3
(to go up or down), until the desired level of work is displayed.

7. During the stimulation session

5f m—3 preliminary test
he m—3 test is carried out only if
T
the special electrode cable of the
m—4 system is already connected
to the stimulator!
To avoid any disturbance, you must
remain completely still and be perfectly
relaxed throughout the entire test!
f the m—4 system is active, the
I
m—3 test starts immediately after
the selection and personalisation of
a program for which the choice of a
muscular group is justified. Using m
technology, this choice is made auto-
matically by the Compex, through test
measurements of individual neuro-
muscular specificities and the excita-
bility characteristics of the muscle to
be stimulated.

to the previous screen.
5f To confirm your selection and start the program,
press the "+"/"–" key of channel 4. Depending on
the selected program, this:
a) starts the stimulation session;
b) runs the m—3 test to detect automatically
the neuromuscular characteristics of the muscular
group to be stimulated.
No warming-up

6a The small symbol
channel to which the special cable of the m—4
system is connected, indicating that the system is
active (in the above example, the m—4 cable
is connected to channel 1).
6b The "+"/"–" keys of the four stimulation channels
are inactive. It is not possible to influence the
stimulation energies for the entire duration of the
test. However, the numerical representation of
the stimulation energy of the channel to which the
m—4 cable is connected varies automatically
during the test to satisfy the needs of the various
measurements taking place.
6c For the entire duration of the test, a scroll
bar vertically scans the figurine symbolising the
m—3 function. The duration of the test varies
depending on the characteristics of the muscular
group and the person being tested. At most it
lasts 21 seconds.
6d The test can be stopped by pressing the
"On/Off" key ( symbol). You can then either
STOP
restart the entire test by pressing the key of a
stimulation channel, or press the "On/Off" key a
second time.
Once the test is completed, you auto-
matically access the standard program
start screen that prompts you to set the
stimulation energies (see following section:
"Setting stimulation energies").
