· The electrodes begin to lose their stickiness and do not stick properly to the
skin. Moisten the adhesive surface with a few drops of water before placing
on the skin.
· The electrodes are worn out and need to be replaced.
· Slightly change the position of the electrodes.
The stimulation feels weak or not at all
· Check if the batteries need to be replaced, see section Batteries .
· Electrodes are too old and need replacement.
The broken circuit symbol is shown on the display
The broken circuit symbol indicates that the resistance is too high, or that a
cable is broken.
· A too high resistance can be caused by a bad connection between the elec-
trodes and your skin, or that the electrodes need to be replaced.
· A cable breakage can be checked by pressing the cable’s pins against one
another while increasing the amplitude for the corresponding channel to
11 mA. If the amplitude now drops to 0.0 mA and starts flashing, the cable
needs to be replaced.
Note! Never increase the amplitude above 20 mA when you check for cable
breaks, since this can damage the stimulator.
TEChNICAL DATA
CEFAR MYO X2 and CEFAR ACTIV X2 are electrical stimulators with two chan-
nels intended for muscle training and pain relief. They can deliver 100 mA of
constant current through a resistance load of 1000 ohms. With a change in
load from 100 to 1000 ohms, the stimulation current changes less than 10 %
from the set value. The stimulator operates on either two non-rechargeable 1.5
V AA batteries or two rechargeable 1.2 V AA batteries, recharged in a separate
charger.
Information Related to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
CEFAR MYO X2 and CEFAR ACTIV X2
are designed to be used in typical
domestic or commercial environments and are approved according to the EMC
safety standard of EN 60601-1-2.
CEFAR MYO X2 and CEFAR ACTIV X2
emit very low levels in the radio fre-
quency (RF) interval. Therefore they are not likely to cause any interference in
nearby electronic equipment (radios, computers, telephones etc.).
CEFAR MYO X2 and CEFAR ACTIV X2 are designed to withstand foreseeable
disturbances originating from electrostatic discharges, mains supply magnetic
fields and radio frequency transmitters (such as mobile telephones).
