When using the Medi Stim and when you ap-
ply the electrodes, you are advised to use two
electrodes per muscle group. For assistance,
see

.
Position the electrodes so that they surround
the muscle segments concerned. For opti-
mum effectiveness, the distance between
the electrodes should not be greater than ap-
prox. 15cm. The greater the distance chosen
between the electrodes, the greater will be the
volume of tissue stimulated. This applies to the
surface and the depth of the volume of tissue.
Likewise, the greater the distance between the
electrodes, the more the power stimulating
the tissue decreases. This means that if you opt
for a large distance between the electrodes,
the volume will be greater but stimulation less
so. To increase stimulation, you will then need
to increase the pulse intensity. The following
instructions apply when choosing the distance
between electrodes :
• The most appropriate dis-
tance: approx. 5 to 15cm
• Below 5cm, the primary surface
structures are strongly stimulated.
• Above 15cm, the deep structures
extending across the large surface
areas are very poorly stimulated.

We do not recommend using
two electrodes on opposite sides
of the centre of the body (for
example: the electrode of the
first cable on your left arm and
the electrode of the second cable
on your right arm). See

Never apply the electrodes
to your head or pectorals. Never
move the electrodes when the
device is running. Switch off
the device, then simply remove
the electrodes and put them
in a different place, otherwise,
some impact might be felt.
Operating the device
• Once the electrodes are in position in the
area you want to treat, switch on your
device with the
on
/
off
button

.
• Press the
tens
button to switch to
the TENS mode or the
ems
button to
switch to the EMS mode
[

.
• Press the
tens
or
ems
button again
once or several times, depending on the
mode chosen, until the number of the
programme required is displayed

.
• In the TENS mode, press the
ems
button
to enter the EMS mode, the screen
will display EMS programme 1 and
the intensity will be lower. Likewise,
in the EMS mode, press the
tens
button to enter the TENS mode.
• Once the mode and the programme
are selected, press
+
to activate
electro-stimulation

.
This sets off the lowest intensity.
• The clock indicator shows that elec-
tro-stimulation is underway

.
• During electro-stimulation, press
+
again until the required intensity
is reached and
-
to reduce the
intensity

. There are 20
possible intensities per programme.
With each variation, the intensity of
the channel increases or decreases
by 1mA and the amplitude by 1V.
