button. Press the Begin Capture
button to initiate the 15 second
period. Once the 15 second period

of muscle activity is captured, and
the Up and Down Arrow buttons
can be used to increase (up to
200%) or decrease (down to 5%) the
percentage of the captured target
value. The Reset button can be

at any time during the 15
second period by pressing the

Alarm button - This button allows
the clinician to choose if the alarm
should sound above or below the
target.
Above: The alarm will sound when
the sEMG activity exceeds the target.
Below: The alarm will sound when
the sEMG activity is below the target.
Press the Start button on the front of the unit to begin treatment.
NOTE: Once the Start button is pressed, the continuous audible tone
from the Patient Interrupt Switch will stop during treatment.
NOTE: When traction treatment begins, if sEMG readings are above
target, a message will display saying, "Ask the patient to relax".
Once the patient has relaxed and the sEMG readings go below
the target, the message will disappear and treatment will start.
Check the sEMG Graph from the Treatment Screen to assure that the
sEMG signal is being received.
NOTE: The continuous audible tone from the Patient Interrupt Switch
will begin again once treatment is complete, if the Patient
Interrupt Switch has been pressed during treatment, or if the
Stop button is pressed.
