THE STIMULATION DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME AS USUAL
· Check that all settings are correct (chapter OPERATION) and make sure that the electrodes are
correctly placed.
· Electrodes: Slightly change the position of the electrodes.
THE STIMULATION FEELS UNPLEASANT
· Check that the probe/electrode cable is properly connected to the stimulator.
· Probes: Make sure that the probe is correctly placed with good contact. In case of irritation/inflam-
mation in the vagina or anus, please contact your health care provider.
· Electrodes: The skin is irritated. For advice on skin care, see chapter PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
· Electrodes: The electrodes begin to lose their stickiness and do not stick properly to the skin. Moisten
the adhesive surface with a few drops of water before placing on the skin.
· Electrodes: The electrodes are worn out and need to be replaced.
· Electrodes: Slightly change the position of the electrodes.
THE STIMULATION FEELS WEAK OR NOT AT ALL
· Check if the batteries need to be replaced, see chapter REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES.
· Electrodes: Electrodes are too old and need replacement.
THE BROKEN CIRCUIT SYMBOL IS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY SYMBOL
The broken circuit symbol indicates that the resistance is too high, or that a cable is broken.
· A too high resistance can be caused by a bad connection between the electrodes/probes and your
skin/tissue, or that the electrodes need to be replaced.
· A cable breakage can be checked by pressing the cable´s pins against one another while increasing
the amplitude for the corresponding channel to 11 mA. If the amplitude now drops to 00.0 mA and
starts flashing, the cable needs to be replaced.
Note! Never increase the amplitude above 20 mA when you check for cable breaks, since this can
damage the stimulator.
THE STIMULATOR IS NOT WORKING
If the error symbol appears on the display when you start the stimulator, it means that the stimulator
is broken and needs to be repaired.
Note! Do not use the stimulator – contact your Cefar dealer.
Cefar-Compex will only be responsible for service and repairs performed by Cefar or a distributor
appointed by Cefar-Compex.
