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 No warming-up
5d Total program time in minutes.
5e By pressing the “On/Off” key, you can return
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.
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
7. During the stimulation session
m—3 preliminary test
T he m—3 test is carried out only if
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!
I f the m—4 system is active, the
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.
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.
6a The small symbol is displayed above the
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
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”).
