13. Once the desired intensity level has been reached the user can press the lock key to avoid unwanted changes
to the intensity level. If you press the lock key the key symbol ( ) appears (Display 8). To disable the
Lock function, simply press the lock key once again and the key symbol will disappear from the display.
14. If you want to interrupt the treatment session (e.g. to replace the electrodes), briefly press the on/off
(pause) button. The unit issues a beep and the pause icon appears on the display (Display 9). To deactivate
the pause function, press the on/off (pause) button again. Then the treatment session is restarted from
where it was paused and the pause icon disappears from the display.
15. The
Trigger mode
( ) is possible in Programs 1 – 5, 8 and 9. When the button is pressed the trigger mode
is activated and the unit enters a contraction cycle for as long as the key is pressed (Display 10). When the
key is released the unit enters the relaxation cycle. To return to the programmed contraction/ relaxation
cycle, press any of the intensity keys. The stimulation builds over a 2 second period to the previously set
intensity level.
16. MediStim XP has a load sense function that monitors the connection between the cable/electrode and the
user. When poor skin contact is detected:
• The amplitude bar of the channel being used will flash.
• The warning symbol ( ) will appear flashing on the display (Display 11).
• An audible beep will emit from the unit.
• The treatment session timer pauses.
• The intensity value falls to zero and the intensity increase button is deactivated.
When proper contact is restored, stimulation builds over a 2 second period to the previously set intensity
level.
17. When the treatment is complete, the stimulation will stop automatically. You will hear a 10 second beep
alerting you that the treatment session is complete and the display screen will appear as in Display 12.
At this stage the unit should be switched off and all electrodes removed from the body. Replace the
protective liners on the adhesive electrodes until the next session.
Note: The unit power will turn off automatically after 10 seconds.
