Touch the 'Set shocks' button to open this screen –
Type in the desired number of shocks and touch Enter to return to the main
screen. This will be the number of shocks available for that part of the
treatment. Pressing the foot switch will start the treatment and the
treatment counter will count down and the % graphic will show the
proportion of shocks emitted to that of those unused – when it reaches
100% no more shocks will available and operating the foot switch will no
longer produce any more. This is 'count down' mode.
Alternatively, entering 0 shocks in the above keypad screen (or leaving it
blank) will result in a blank treatment counter window once 'Enter' is
pressed – operating the foot switch will still activate the unit and produce
shocks but there will be no upper limit to the amount available*, the
treatment counter will continue to increment indefinitely as long as the foot
switch is operated. This is 'count up' mode.
The main cumulative counter will continue to increment until either the
'Reset Counter' button is operated (which will zero it) or mains power is
turned off. This will add up the total number of shocks from several different
treatment parts and will be useful to keep track of the total number when,
say, a certain amount are entered into the treatment counter to be used on
one body area, then a different amount on another etc. The 'Reset Counter'
button would generally be operated between patients.

The Total energy (actually energy density in mJ/mm ) is calculated by
multiplying the energy (density) per shock by the total number of shocks as
recorded by the main cumulative counter. It therefore tells us the total
energy that has been applied to the patient for that particular treatment
session.
*A temporary warning message will appear after 5000 continuous shocks.
