The switch to safety mode is indicated by the red
and vibration signals immediately prior to switching (see Page 94).
Safety mode can be disabled by switching the product off/on (see Page 85) and by connecting
then disconnecting the battery charger. If the product switches into safety mode again, this
means a permanent error exists. The product must be inspected immediately by an O&P profes­
sional.

10.4 Overheating mode

When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), the flexion resistance is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counter­
act the overheating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the set­
tings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyMode "User defined".
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds and additionally by the orange
symbol lighting up.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• Sitting function
• Switching to a MyMode
• Changing the orthosis settings
