nto the “Pause” mode if no contraction phase has

b

een started.

■ In the m—1 mode, at the end of

each contraction, the muscle must

return to the same conditions that

existed during the previous rest phase.

You must therefore always make sure

that exactly the same situations of

relaxation and positioning that existed

previously are restored, starting from

the end of each contraction. If these

conditions are not satisfied, the

chronometer stops. To restart it, just

increase the stimulation energy or wait

until the stimulator registers the new

position of your muscle (this takes

place after 6 seconds).

■ To restart a muscular contraction

during the active rest phase, the m-

4 system must detect strong

muscular twitches. To do this, the

device prompts you, if necessary,

to increase the stimulation energies

during the active rest phase. If, despite

that, the system does not detect

sufficient muscular twitches within

20 seconds, the device goes into the

“Pause” mode.

m—5 function

■ The m—5 function allows you

to limit considerably the onset of un-

wanted muscular contractions, thus

assuring a maximum of comfort and

effectiveness.

■ The m—5 function is available only

for the

Modulated TENS and Epicon-

dylitis.

■ For these programs, the m—5

function allows you to control the

stimulation energies while maintaining

them at an effective level and consi-

derably limiting the onset of muscular

contractions.

■ Short measurement tests (lasting 2

to 3 seconds) are carried out regularly

throughout the entire program.

■ There is a test phase after each

increase of the stimulation energies.

To ensure the correct performance of

these tests, you must remain perfectly

still during this time.

■ Depending on the results of the

measurement tests recorded by the

device, the level of the stimulation

energies may be slightly decreased

automatically.

■ It is important always to adopt the

most comfortable possible stimulation

position. Also, you should try to remain

still and not contract the muscles of the

stimulated area.

m—6 function

■ This function indicates the ideal

energy adjustment range for programs

whose efficiency requires vigorous

muscular twitches.

■ The m—6 function is therefore

accessible only for programs using

low stimulation frequencies (less than

10 Hertz).

■ For programs allowing the use of

the

m—6 function, the stimulator

checks whether you are in the ideal

energy range. If you are below the

range, the stimulator prompts you to

increase the energy by displaying

signs.

■ Once the stimulator has detected

your ideal adjustment range, a bracket

appears to the right of the bar chart of

the channel to which the m—4

system is connected. This bracket

indicates the energy range within

which you should work for optimal

stimulation.

■ If you adjust the stimulation energy

below the ideal treatment range, the

stimulator prompts you to increase it

again with a continuous display of

blinking signs.
