■
Before applying the electrodes, it is
recommended to wash and degrease
the skin, and then dry it.
■
Apply the whole surface of the
electrodes to the skin.
■
For very important reasons of hygiene,
each user must have his own electrode
set. Do not use the same electrodes
on different people.
■
Do not use a set of electrodes for
more than fifteen sessions, as the
quality of the contact between the
electrode and the skin, which is
important for the comfort and
effectiveness of stimulation,
progressively degrades.
■
In certain people with very sensitive
skin, redness may be observed under
the electrodes after a stimulation
session. Generally, this redness is
completely harmless and disappears
after 10 to 20 minutes. However, avoid
starting a stimulation session on the
same area until the redness is no
longer evident.
■
Before using the motor point pen,
clean and disinfect the tip of the pen.
■
Only use the electrode cables
supplied by Compex.
■
Do not disconnect the stimulator
electrode cables during the session
without first switching off the
stimulator.
■
Never connect stimulation cables
to an external electric power supply
because of risk of electric shock.
■
No not use rechargeable batteries
other than the one supplied by
Compex.
■
Never recharge the stimulator when
cables and electrodes are still connec-
ted onto the user.
■
Never recharge the batteries with
another charger than the one supplied
with the Compex.
■
Never use the Compex or the
charger if it is damaged (case, cables,
etc.) or if the compartment for the
rechargeable battery is open. There is
a risk of electric discharge.
■
Disconnect immediately the charger
if the Compex “bleeps” continuously,
in case of abnormal heating or smell,
or if smoke comes from the charger
or the Compex. Do not recharge the
batteries in a confined area (case,
etc.) because of risk of fire or electric
discharge.
■
Keep the Compex and its accessories
out of the reach of children.
■
Do not allow any foreign items
(soil, water, metal, etc.) to enter into
the Compex, the compartment for the
rechargeable battery and the charger.
■
Sudden temperature variations can
create droplets in the device due to
condensation. Use the device only
once it reached ambient temperature.
■
Do not use the Compex while
driving or operating machinery.
■
Do not use the stimulator in the
mountains at an altitude higher than
3.000 metres.
Where you should never apply
electrodes and the motor point
pen…
■
To the head.
■
Counter-laterally: do not use the
two poles of the same channel (one
electrode connected to the positive/
red pole and one electrode connected
to the negative/black pole) on either
side of the body centreline (eg: right
arm and left arm).
■
To or in the vicinity of skin lesions
of any kind (wounds, inflammations,
burns, irritations, eczema, etc.).
Precautions when using
the
m-4
system
■
To access the
m
functions of the
Compex, the special electrode cable
of the
m-4
system must be
connected before the device is
switched on.
■
Avoid connecting the special
electrode cable of the
m-4
system when the Compex is switched
on.
■
Do not disconnect the special
electrode cable of the
m-4
system before switching off the device.
■
To work correctly, the
m-4
system must not be blocked or
subjected to pressure.
Precautions when using the
electrodes and the motor
point pen...
■
Only use the electrodes/the pen
supplied by Compex. Other electrodes/
pens may have electrical properties
that are unsuitable for the Compex
stimulator.
■
Do not remove or move the
electrodes during a stimulation session
without first switching off the instrument.
■
Do not plunge the electrodes/the
pen into water.
■
Do not apply a solvent of any kind
to the electrodes/the pen.
