7. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
USAGE GUIDELINES
The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as general rules� For all programs, it is
recommended that you read carefully the usage information and advice presented in the Operation section�
You should use the shopcompex�com web site to establish an appropriate training plan� The shopcompex�
com web site helps you with your first steps with the device�
CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE MUSCLE WORK PROGRAM
The choice of a program determines the kind of work that is imposed on the stimulated muscles� Based on
your knowledge about sport training, you can choose the program that is appropriate to your needs� Please
go on the shopcompex�com web site as it offers an advanced interactive way to establish an appropriate
work program� With just a few answers to basic questions, the “Training Planner” will determine which is the
most appropriate program for you�
PLANNING STIMULATION SESSIONS
The Training Planner (shopcompex�com) will determine the number of training sessions per week you should
do and the number of weeks you should use a muscle training program�
ELECTRODE POSITIONS
For optimal results, use the electrode positions recommended by Compex� To do this, refer to the pictures
and pictograms shown on the Remote Stimulator�
Each stimulation module has two pods:
• A positive pole (+) = power on/off pod
• A negative pole (-) = smooth top connection
A different electrode must be connected to each pole�
Depending on the characteristics of the current, efficacy can be optimized in certain programs by placing
the electrode connected to the positive pole (positive pod connection) “strategically”� When working with
a muscle stimulation program (program involving muscle contractions), it is important to place the positive
electrode on the motor point of the muscle�
It is crucial to choose the right size electrodes (large or small) and correctly position these on the muscle
group you want to stimulate to ensure the efficacy of the program� Therefore, always use the size of
electrodes shown in the pictures� Unless you have other specific medical instructions, always follow the
placement directions in the pictures�
