Compex mi-FITNESS Manuel D'utilisation page 112

Setting stimulation energies
hen the program starts and, if
W
necessary, after the m—3 test, the
Compex prompts you to increase the
stimulation energies, a key factor for
the effectiveness of the stimulation.
To find out what energy level needs
to be reached for each program,
refer to the program table in the
applications menu.

7a The Compex "bleeps" and the symbols of the
four channels flash, changing from "+" to "000": the
four channels are at 0 energy. You must increase
the stimulation energy so that the stimulation can
start. To do this, press the "+" of the keys of the
relevant channels, until the desired setting is
reached.
If you want to increase the energy level of all four
channels simultaneously, press the "i" button,
located below the "On/Off" key. You can also increase
the energy level of three first channels, by pressing
the "i" button twice, or the energy level of two
first channels only, by pressing three times this
button.
Once you activate the "i" button, the associated
channels are highlighted in white on a black back-
ground.

gory to which the program belongs.
8c Session progression scale:
The progression scale is composed of three
distinct parts: the program consists of three
stimulation sequences, i.e., warming up (light
hatching /left), the actual work (black area/centre)
and relaxation at the end of the program (heavier
hatching/right). The progression scale can be also
entirely hatched: the program then consists of a
single stimulation sequence. The small cursor
located just below the scale indicates precisely
the state of progression of the program.
8d Contraction and active rest time bar: This bar
is displayed, but only during the work sequence. It
indicates the duration of the contraction (black
part) and active rest times (hatched part).
8e Bar charts:
The muscular contraction phase is represented
by the black bar charts. The active rest phase is
represented by the hatched bar charts.
8f You can interrupt the program momentarily
( = "PAUSE") by pressing the "On/Off" key. To
STOP
restart the session, simply press the "+"/"–" key
of channel 4. After an interruption, stimulation
restarts at 80% of the stimulation energy set
before the "STOP".
The stimulation energy during the
active rest phase is automatically set
at 50% of the stimulation energy during
the muscular contraction.
