* This display turns off automatically after approx. one minute to avoid bothersome light at night. The
charging process is not affected.
The charging status of the knee joint is also shown on the display of the remote control.
In addition, the remaining operating time is indicated to the user by knee joint vibration signals once
the remaining battery capacity reaches approx. 25% (see table below).
Knee Joint Vibration Signal
3x vibration
5x vibration
10x vibration and beeping
INFORMATION
When the knee joint is fully charged (all 5 LEDs at the side light up (Fig. 3)), the maximum period of
use for the knee joint before the next charging process is up to 5 days, depending on patient activity.
However, we recommend charging the knee joint every night.
Sitting function
When a sitting position is maintained for more than two seconds (i.e. the thigh is close to horizontal and
there is no load on the leg), the 3B1/3B1=ST Knee Joint switches the resistance to a minimum in both
the flexion and extension directions. The sitting function can be activated by the prosthetist by using the
X-Soft adjustment software.
INFORMATION
While sitting, the knee joint switches to an energy-saving mode. This energy-saving mode is activated
regardless of whether the Sitting function has been enabled or not.
Intuitive Stance function
The Intuitive Stance function automatically recognises any situation that puts strain on the prosthesis in
the flexion direction but where flexion is not permitted. Examples where this is the case include standing
on uneven or sloping surfaces. The joint is always locked in the flexion direction when the prosthetic leg
is not fully extended, under some amount of load and at rest.
When the load is taken off the leg or upon forward or backward rollover, the level of resistance is
immediately reduced to stance phase resistance again. The knee joint is not locked when the above
conditions are met and a sitting position is assumed (for example while driving). The Intuitive Stance
function can be activated by the prosthetist by using the X-Soft configuration software.
