[. . . ] What you should not do with the Compex and the m-4 system Never carry out an initial stimulation session on a person who is standing. The first five minutes of stimulation must always be performed on a person who is sitting or lying down. In rare instances, very highly strung people may have a vagal reaction. This is of psychological origin and is connected with a fear of the muscle stimulation as well as surprise at seeing one of their muscles contract without having intentionally contracted it themselves. [. . . ] Once the test has been completed, the program can start. It thus offers an opportunity to associate voluntary work and stimulation. The m--1 mode is available only for certain programs that allow this work mode. Programs using the m--1 mode are always preceded by the m--3 measurement test (see previous section). The m--1 work mode is operational during the active rest phases of a work sequence. It is not operational during warming-up and relaxation sequences. After the warming-up phase, the first muscular contraction is started automatically. The voluntary start of a contraction (during an active rest phase) is possible only within a given time span that varies depending on the program used. An alternation of sound signals delimits this time span in the following order: An initial sound signal (consisting of increasingly close "bleeps") indicates that the start of the voluntary contraction phase is possible. The sound signal is continuous: this is the ideal time to start the voluntary contraction phase. The sound signal decreases: the start is still possible and the work rate is still satisfactory. After a certain time ­ which varies depending on the programs ­ during which the "bleeps" are more spaced out, the device automatically goes Function allows you to control the stimulation energies while maintaining them at an effective level and considerably limiting the onset of muscular contractions. Short measurement tests (lasting 2 to 3 seconds) are carried out regularly throughout the entire program. There is a test phase after each increase of the stimulation energies. In the m--1 mode, at the end of each contraction, the muscle must return to the same conditions that existed during the previous rest phase. You must therefore always make sure that exactly the same situations of relaxation and positioning that existed previously are restored, starting from the end of each contraction. If these conditions are not satisfied, the chronometer stops. To restart it, just increase the stimulation energy or wait until the stimulator registers the new position of your muscle (this takes place after 6 seconds). To restart a muscular contraction during the active rest phase, the m4 system must detect strong muscular twitches. To do this, the device prompts you, if necessary, to increase the stimulation energies during the active rest phase. If, despite that, the system does not detect sufficient muscular twitches within 20 seconds, the device goes into the "Pause" mode. To ensure the correct performance of these tests, you must remain perfectly still during this time. [. . . ] The Compex switches off automatically as soon as you disconnect the charger. If this message appears, disconnect the charger and the device switches off automatically. please contact the hotline , noting this error code.
