1. Connections
The electrical impulses generated by
the Compex are transmitted to the
nerves by self-adhesive electrodes. The
choice of the size, the connection and the
correct positioning of the electrodes are
essential factors for ensuring effective and
comfortable stimulation. So they require
particular care. To do all this – and for
information on the recommended
stimulation positions – refer to the pictures
and pictograms in the poster, and to the
“Table with placements of electrodes and
stimulation positions” in chapter VII. The
specific applications contained in chapter
VI also provide useful relevant information.
blue = channel 1 yellow = channel 3
green = channel 2 red = channel 4
It is important to place the electrodes
correctly to the cable connectors; in order
to do so, press strongly the connector to
the electrode until you hear a double click.
Connecting the charger
T he Compex has considerable opera-
ting autonomy, as it uses rechargeable
batteries. To recharge them, use the
charger supplied with your device and
connect it to the base of the device,
then plug the charger in a socket.
T o recharge the Compex, first
disconnect the electrode cables from
the device.
B efore using your stimulator for the
first time, it is always strongly
recommended that you completely
charge the battery to improve its
autonomy and extend its working life.
2. Preliminary settings:
language, light intensity
and sound volume
B efore using the unit for the first
time, you should select the working
language of the device which is
displayed on the options screen.
Proceed as per the instructions
described below.
A fterwards, for the greatest comfort,
Compex offers you a number of
setting options (operating language

switch on the left of the Compex
and hold it down for a few seconds.
