F) Stimulation mode
When you start a programme, you will
be prompted to increase the stimulation
energies. This is the key to the success of
any treatment.

11a: Press the On/Off button to interrupt
the programme momentarily.
11 b c d e: The unit will beep and the
symbols for the 4 channels will alternate
between + and 000. The energy level
for the 4 channels is at 0. To start the
programme, you will need to increase
the energy levels in the channels you
are going to use. To do this, use the
corresponding + buttons. The different
energies reached during the contraction
phase are shown by a series of black bar
graphs. Active rest phase energies are
shown by hatched bar graphs.
NOTE: If you want to increase the energy
levels in all 4 channels simultaneously,
press the i button. Press it twice to in-
crease the levels in the first 3 channels,
and 3 times to increase the levels in the
first 2 channels. Interdependent channels
will be highlighted in white against a
black background.
NOTE: Active rest phase stimulation
energies are automatically set at 50% of
contraction intensities but can be modi-
fied during the rest phase. Once modi-
fied, they will be totally independent of
the contraction intensities.
NOTE: If your Physio5 emits a beeping
sound and the + symbols under the active
channels begin to flash, the stimulator
is suggesting you to increase the level of
the stimulation energies. If you are work-
ing at the patient's maximum tolerance
level, simply ignore this message.

If you start a programme with the 2+2
function the following screen will be
displayed.
The horizontal bars on top of the display
shows the total duration and different
phases of the programmes. Left bar for
P1 and right bar for P2.
P1 shows the programme chosen for
channel 1 and 2.
P2 shows the programme chosen for
channel 3 and 4.
Pause mode

12a: Press the On/Off button to interrupt
the programme momentarily. To restart
it, simply press the + button of any chan-
nel. The session will resume at 80% of
the energy levels that were being used
prior to the interruption.
End of programme
At the end of each session, a small flag
will be displayed on the screen and a
short melody will be played.
