COMPEX 3 User Manual
7 - Electricity consumption
and recharging
Never recharge the stimulator without
first disconnecting the stimulation cables.
Never recharge the battery with a charger
other than that supplied by Compex.
The Compex 3 is powered by a
rechargeable battery unit. The battery’s life
varies according to the programmes and
stimulation energies used.
We strongly recommend you fully charge
the battery before using it for the first time
as this will extend its battery life and life
span. If you do not use your stimulator for
long periods of time, remember to
recharge the battery regularly.
A) Electricity consumption
The charge state of the battery is indicated
by a small battery icon on the screen.
If the battery icon contains just two lines,
this means that power is running low. Stop
the session and recharge the unit.
If the START symbol normally displayed
above the channel 4 +/– button is not
visible and the battery icon is flashing, this
means that the battery is completely
discharged. The stimulator can no longer
be used. Recharge immediately.
B) Recharging
Remove all stimulation cables from the
stimulator before recharging it. Connect
the charger to the mains and then
connect the stimulator to the charger. The
charge menu shown below will
automatically appear on the screen.
The duration of the recharging operation
is displayed on the screen. The quick
charger supplied with the stimulator fully
recharges the stimulator within 60 to 90
minutes;
The battery icon is animated while the
battery is recharging. When fully charged,
the icon will be full and the total time taken
to recharge the battery will flash on the
screen. Simply disconnect the charger and
the Compex 3 will turn off automatically.
NOTE: You can also use the docking
station supplied with the Compex 3 to
recharge your stimulator. (See chapter
"Compex 3 Software").
