■
For very important reasons of
hygiene, each user must have his
own electrode set. Do not use the
same electrodes on different peo-
ple.
■
Do not use a set of electrodes
for more than fifteen sessions, as
the quality of the contact between
the electrode and the skin, which
is important for the comfort and
effectiveness of stimulation, pro-
gressively degrades.
■
In certain people with very sen-
sitive skin, redness may be obser-
ved under the electrodes after a
stimulation session. Generally,
this redness is completely harm-
less and disappears after 10 to 20
minutes. However, avoid starting
a stimulation session on the same
area until the redness is no longer
evident.

Precautions when using the
batteries
■
Do not open the battery com-
partment without first switching
off the stimulator.
■
Use only alkaline batteries 1.5 V,
size AAA, LR03. Never use batte-
ries with other characteristics.
■
All the four batteries must be re-
placed at the same time.
■
Batteries must be positioned ac-
cording to the diagram inside the
battery compartment.
■
Do not allow any foreign items
(object, water, sand, dust, etc.) to
enter into the battery compart-
ment.
■
Always close the battery com-
partment before switching on the
device.
■
Remove immediately the batte-
ries if the Compex "beeps" conti-
nuously, in case of abnormal
heating or smell, or if smoke
comes from the device.
■
Never leave the batteries inside
your device if you do not intend
to use it for a long period of time.
Batteries may leak and damage
your unit. If the batteries show
signs of a leak, avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. In case of
contact, wash surface with water
and contact your doctor.
