COMPEX 3 User Manual
• Never recharge the stimulator without
first disconnecting all stimulation cables.
• Do not recharge the battery with a
charger other than that supplied by
Compex.
• Do use the Compex 3 stimulator, docking
station, or charger if any of the elements
are damaged (case, cables, etc.) or if the
battery compartment is open. There is a
risk of electric shock.
• Unplug the charger immediately if your
Compex 3 emits a continuous beeping
sound or if you notice any abnormal heat,
smells, or smoke from either the
charger or the stimulator.
• Never recharge the battery in a confined
space (carrying case, etc.) as this could
cause a fire or electric shock.
• Keep Compex 3 and its accessories out
of the reach of children.
• Keep the stimulator, battery
compartment, docking station, and
charger free of foreign matter (soil,
water, metal, etc.)
• Sudden temperature changes can cause
condensation to build up inside the
stimulator. To prevent this, allow it to
reach ambient temperature before use.
• Do not use your Compex 3 while driving
or operating machinery.
• Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of
over 3,000 metres.
Never use the electrodes or
the motor point pen:
• In the vicinity of the head.
• Counter-laterally, i.e. do not use two
poles connected to the same channel on
opposite sides of the body.
• On or near skin lesions of any kind
(wounds, swelling, burns, irritation,
eczema, etc.).
Precautions when using the
m-4 system
• To access Compex 3’s m functions, make
sure that the stimulation cable fitted with
the m-4 is connected before you
turn on the stimulator.
• Do not connect the m-4 cable while
the Compex 3 is connected.
• Do not disconnect the m-4 cable
while the sensor is being used.
• The m-4 system may not work
correctly if restrained or subject to
pressure in any way.
Precautions when using the
electrodes and the motor point pen
• Only use electrodes and pens supplied by
Compex. Other electrodes and pens may
have electrical properties that are
incompatible with the Compex 3
stimulator.
• Always turn off the stimulator before
moving or removing any electrodes during
a session.
• Do not place the electrodes or the pen in
water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the
electrodes or pen.
• For optimal results, wash and clean the
skin of any oil and dry it before attaching
the electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes in a such a way that
their entire surface is in contact with the
skin.
• For hygiene reasons, each patient must
have his own set of electrodes. Never use
the same electrodes on different patients.
• Never use a set of adhesive electrodes for
more than 15 sessions as their sticking
power deteriorates with time and optimal
contact is very important for both user
comfort and treatment efficacy.
• Some people with very sensitive skin may
experience redness under the electrodes
after a session. This redness is generally
harmless and normally disappears within
10 to 20 minutes. Never start another
stimulation session in the same area,
however, if the redness is still visible.
• Clean and disinfect the tip of the motor
point pen that comes in contact with the
skin before each use.
