Changing the Switch Working Mode
The Chattanooga Continuum has the ability to modify
the working mode of an attached Hand or Foot switch.
Available options are “Simultaneous” or “Alternated”.
• In “Simutaneous” mode, both channel  and 
will work simultaneously.
• In “Alternated” mode, channel  and  will work
alternately
To access this setting, the following steps are to be applied:
. Press the ON button to turn on the device.
. Once the main Options menu is displayed, choose
“CONFIG” option.
. Choose the “SETTINGS” option.
. Use the lower left soft key to scroll to the “SWITCH”
option.
. Use the right side soft keys to select the switch working
mode
. Press the home screen button.
. Notice that if a switch is plugged in, an icon will be
shown in the upper right corner of the display.
Using the Foot Switch
The Chattanooga Continuum unit has the ability to use
a foot switch for gait training. The Foot Switch must
be plugged in so that the unit recognizes that a gait
treatment is wanted. Otherwise, a normal Large Muscle,
Custom treatment is performed. To do this, the following
steps are to be applied:
. Press the ON button to turn on the device.
. Once the main Options menu is displayed, choose the
NMES option.
. Choose the “LARGE MUSCLE” option.
. Choose the “CUSTOM” option.
. Modify adjustable regimen parameters as needed and
then press the “OK” button.
. Plug the Foot Switch into the remote jack in the unit.
. Increase intensity. For Channel , the unit will output a
waveform as the foot is lifted up, and stop its output as
the foot is down. For Channel , the output will behave
according to the selected switch working mode.
Both switches should be used with the custom programs,
not with the preset therapies.
