a risk of injury to the patient.
Participation in an Ottobock product training course on the DynamicArm is obligatory before the first appli-
cation. During this product training course you will receive a password providing you access authorization
to the "ElbowSoft" adjustment software. To qualify for product updates, additional product training courses
may become necessary.
CAUTION
Manipulation of system components. Independent changes and/or modifications to system components
can lead to faulty control or malfunction of the DynamicArm, resulting in a risk of injury to the patient.
No adjustments or modifications except those described in this manual are authorised.
The DynamicArm may only be opened or repaired by certified Ottobock Myo-Service technicians.
Manipulation or replacement of the integrated DynamicArm battery is not allowed. The batteries may only be
serviced or replaced by certified Ottobock Myo-Service technicians.

NOTICE
Chemical processes. Chemical processes can lead to cracks or other damage.
The DynamicArm must never be coated, pasted or lacquered.
NOTICE
Improper care. Use of solvents such as acetone, benzine or similar substances can cause the plastic to

CAUTION
Electrode settings. If electrode setting is not optimal it can lead to faulty control or malfunction of the Dy-
namicArm and result in a risk of injury to the patient.
• The electrodes should be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact as possible.
In the case of strong interferences from electric devices, the position of the electrodes should be verified
and, if need be, repositioned. If the interference cannot be eliminated or if you do not achieve the expected
results by adjustment and by selection of the appropriate control mode, please contact an Ottobock Myo-
Service facility.
