11.4 Overheating mode

INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), damping is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the over­
heating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the damping settings
that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• OPG function
• Stairs and obstacles function
• Stance function
• Sitting function
• Display of the battery charge level without additional equipment
• Switching to a MyMode

12 Storage and bleeding

Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the product is stored for longer periods and not in an
upright position. This is noticeable through sounds and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic bleeding mechanism ensures that all functions of the product are again intact after
approximately 10 - 20 steps.
Storage
• When storing the knee joint, press the top of the knee to the flexion stop.
• Avoid extended disuse of the product (use the product regularly).

13 Cleaning

1) Clean the product with a damp cloth (fresh water) when needed.
2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.

14 Maintenance

INFORMATION
This component was tested for three million load cycles in accordance with ISO 10328.
Depending on the activity level, this corresponds to a service life of three to five years.
The duration of use can be individually extended depending on the intensity of use by perform­
ing regular service inspections.
Regular service inspections are recommended in the interest of the user's own safety, and in
order to maintain operating reliability and protect the warranty. These service inspections include
an inspection of the sensors and replacement of worn parts.
To have a service inspection carried out, please submit the product as well as the battery charger
and power supply unit to the prosthetist.
INFORMATION
If a remote control was included in the scope of delivery as an optional product accessory, it
must also be sent along with the product for service inspections.
