2. Start the inductive charging process by connecting the charger to the receiver on the back of the
knee joint. The charger is held in place by a magnet (Figure 2a / 2b). Verify the battery capacity us-
ing the LEDs on the side (Figure 3) and the charging process based on the colour of the illuminated
ring (Figure 2b) (see tables below).

INFORMATION
After disconnecting the charger the knee joint will conduct a self test. Be sure not to move the knee
joint during this brief self test, since it can cause an error. If you encounter this error, the problem can
be corrected by reconnecting and then disconnecting the charger.
INFORMATION
Charging is not possible if the distance between the transmitter and receiver is greater than 1.5
mm. However, charging should proceed normally if, for example, a sock or Superskin is between the
transmitter and receiver of the charger (also see the Charging Process table).

3. End the inductive charging process by disconnecting the charger from the
receiver. The 3B1/3B1=ST knee joint performs a self-test and is then ready
for operation, provided it is connected to the AXON Tube Adapter. This is
indicated by a single vibration signal and beep. If this is not the case, an error
has occurred. In that case please send the knee joint to your prosthetist or
an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
