into the "Pause" mode if no contraction phase has
been started.
In the m—1 mode, at the end of
■
each contraction, the muscle must
return to the same conditions that
existed during the previous rest phase.
You must therefore always make sure
that exactly the same situations of
relaxation and positioning that existed
previously are restored, starting from
the end of each contraction. If these
conditions are not satisfied, the
chronometer stops. To restart it, just
increase the stimulation energy or wait
until the stimulator registers the new
position of your muscle (this takes
place after 6 seconds).
To restart a muscular contraction
■
during the active rest phase, the m-
4 system must detect strong
muscular twitches. To do this, the
device prompts you, if necessary,
to increase the stimulation energies
during the active rest phase. If, despite
that, the system does not detect
sufficient muscular twitches within
20 seconds, the device goes into the
"Pause" mode.
m—5 function
The m—5 function allows you
■
to limit considerably the onset of un-
wanted muscular contractions, thus
assuring a maximum of comfort and
effectiveness.
The m—5 function is available only

For these programs, the m—5

function allows you to control the
stimulation energies while maintaining
them at an effective level and consi-
derably limiting the onset of muscular
contractions.
Short measurement tests (lasting 2
■
to 3 seconds) are carried out regularly
throughout the entire program.
There is a test phase after each
■
increase of the stimulation energies.
To ensure the correct performance of
these tests, you must remain perfectly
still during this time.
