OPERATION
DURING THE STIMULATION SESSION (CONTINUED)
B . PROGRAM PROGRESSION
Stimulation actually starts when the stimulation energy has been increased.
The examples reproduced below show the general rules.

program
A
Press the On/Off button to interrupt the program momentarily. To
restart it, simply press the channel 4 +/- button. The session will resume
at 80% of the energy levels that were in use prior to the interruption.
B/C/D/E
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: Active rest phase stimulation energies are automatically set at 50% of
contraction energies. These can be modified during the rest phase. Once modified,
they will be totally independent of the contraction energies.
NOTE: If your Compex Edge emits a beeping sound and the symbols under the
active channels begin to flash, the stimulator is suggesting you increase the level of
the stimulation energies. If you are working at the maximum tolerance level, simply
ignore this message.
