2. HOW DOES ELECTROSTIMULATION WORK?
Electrostimulation involves stimulating nerve fibres by electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The
electrical impulses produced by Compex stimulators are high-quality impulses that are safe, comfortable
and effective and stimulate various types of nerve fibres:
1. Motor nerves to stimulate a muscular response, referred to as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
2. Certain types of sensitive nerve fibres to obtain analgesic effects or pain relief.
1. STIMULATION OF MOTOR NERVES (EMS)
With voluntary activity, the brain orders muscles to contract and a command is then sent to nerve fibres
in the form of an electrical signal. This signal is then sent to muscle fibres, which contract. The principle of
electrostimulation accurately reproduces the process involved in a voluntary contraction. The stimulator
sends an electrical impulse to nerve fibres to excite them. This excitation is then transmitted to muscle
fibres and results in a basic mechanical response (= a twitch). This is the basic requirement for muscular
contraction. The muscular response is to all intents and purposes identical to the muscular work
controlled by the brain. In other words, the muscle does not distinguish between a command sent by the
brain or the stimulator.
Programme settings (number of impulses per second, duration of contraction, rest time, total programme
duration) subject the muscle to various types of work, depending on the muscle fibre. Various types
of muscle fibres can be identified according to their respective contraction speeds: slow, intermediate
and fast fibres. A sprinter clearly has more fast fibres and a marathon runner has more slow fibres. With
good knowledge of human physiology and full control of stimulation settings of the various programmes,
muscular work can be specifically pinpointed to achieve the desired objective (muscular strengthening,
increased blood circulation, firming, etc.).

EN
2. STIMULATION OF SENSORY NERVES
Electrical impulses can also excite sensory nerve fibres to obtain analgesic effects or pain relief.
Stimulating tactile sensory nerve fibres blocks pain being transmitted to the nervous system. Stimulating
another type of sensory fibre increases the production of endorphins and therefore reduces pain. With
pain relief programmes, electrostimulation can be used to treat acute or chronic localised pain and
muscle pain.
Caution: Do not use pain relief programmes for an extended period without medical advice.
BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation is a very effective method for making muscles work:
• With a significant improvement in various muscular qualities
• With no cardiovascular or mental fatigue
• With limited stress exerted on joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thereby enables more muscular
work than voluntary activity.
For optimum results, Compex recommends supplementing your electrostimulation sessions with other
commitments, such as:
• Regular physical exercise
• A balanced and healthy diet
• A balanced lifestyle

3. HOW DOES MI (MUSCLE INTELLIGENCE)
TECHNOLOGY WORK?
To access MI functions the MI-sensor cable (not available on all devices) must be connected to the stimulator.
MI-SCAN
Just before starting a work session, the MI-scan function probes the chosen muscle group and automatically
adjusts the stimulator settings to the excitability of this area of the body, depending on your physiology.
This function results in a short test sequence at the start of the programme, during which measurements
are taken.
At the end of the test, the intensity has to be increased to start the programme.
MI-TENS
The MI-tens function limits unwanted muscle contractions in painful areas.
With each intensity increase applied by the user, a test phase occurs, and if a muscular contraction is
detected, the device automatically reduces the intensity of the stimulation.
This function is only accessible in the TENS, Epicondylitis and Tendinitis programmes.
MI-RANGE
The MI-range function indicates the ideal range for adjusting stimulation intensity, to be followed in the
following programmes: recovery, massage, capillarisation or even muscle pain.
When the device has detected the ideal intensity range, check mark will appear on the screen. For optimum
work, intensity should be kept within this range.
Not all devices have MI technology. The table below shows which functions are available with each device.

BATTERY LEVEL AND CHARGING
Battery performance depends on the programme and the stimulation intensity applied. It is strongly
recommended to fully charge the battery before its first use to improve its performance and life span. Always
use the charger supplied by Compex to recharge the battery.
If the device is not going to be used for over 3 months, ensure that the battery is fully charged. If the device
is not going to be used for over 6 months, ensure that the battery is fully charged and remove it from the
stimulator. Switch the stimulator off before removing the battery.
BATTERY LEVEL
The battery charge level is shown by a battery icon in the bottom left of the screen. The battery icon flashes
when the battery is completely flat. The device can then no longer be used. Recharge it immediately.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTRODE FAULT
The device emits a tone and alternately displays the pair of electrodes symbol and an arrow pointing towards
the channel on which a problem has been detected. In the above example, the stimulator has detected an
error on channel 1.
Check that the electrodes are connected to this channel.
If electrodes are old, worn and/or if the contact is poor: try using new electrodes.
Try using the stimulation cable on a different channel. If the cable is still faulty, replace it
(www.compexstore.com).
STIMULATION DOES NOT PRODUCE THE USUAL SENSATION
Check that all settings are correct and check electrodes are properly positioned.
Change the position of the electrodes slightly.
STIMULATION CAUSES DISCOMFORT
Electrodes lose their adhesive capacity and no longer provide suitable contact with skin.
Electrodes are worn and must be replaced.
Change the position of the electrodes slightly.
16
EN
THE STIMULATOR IS NOT WORKING
When an error screen is displayed during use, note the error number (in the example, the error number is
1/0/0) and contact the Compex-approved customer service centre.
THE BATTERY IS VERY FLAT
If the following screen appears, switch the device off and connect the charger.
If a battery is very flat, a recovery cycle will start, lasting 2 minutes.
17
EN
When this has finished, if the battery is working properly, it will start charging; in this case, it is strongly
recommended to perform a charge/discharge cycle for the battery by pressing on the channel 4 button
to launch this cycle, which may take up to 12 hours. If, however, it proves to be faulty, the following screen
appears and the battery must be replaced.
