Operating Guide
Turning the stimulator on
Press the
control knob
and hold it down until the display comes on and
the indicator light flashes. If the stimulator has been set to use beeps, a
series of three short beeps will accompany the light flash. The display
will either show “ODFS -Pace-” or “ODFS Pace XL” depending upon the
device variant.
During the start up process the battery condition will be displayed
as “GOOD”, “OK”, “POOR” or “REPLACE” for 4 seconds. This can be
escaped from by pressing any button.
If the battery condition is “POOR” the ODFS
®
Pace (XL) can still
be used but it may be necessary to increase the output level.
If “REPLACE” is displayed, the indicator light flashes and a
warning beep is heard. The battery should be replaced/charged
as soon as is practical. At the end of useful battery life a beep
will sound every 30 seconds.
Your clinician will have set the ODFS
®
Pace (XL) to turn on at either 1%,
50%, or the last used level before turning off.
Stimulation modes
The ODFS
®
Pace (XL) has 2 modes,
walk mode
and
exercise mode
.
Walk mode is a functional stimulation mode that uses a footswitch to
trigger stimulation. In exercise mode stimulation is controlled by an
internal timer and is not intended to be used for walking. When in walk
mode
, the display will show “WALK” if a
wired footswitch
is detected or
a wireless footswitch has been joined. Otherwise the display will show
“TEST” when the stimulator is paused. If in exercise mode the display will
show “EXERCISE” when the stimulator is paused.
