Error code on the
display of the Remo-
te Control
In addition to the basic mode and the MyModes, the knee joint has a range of safety modes which provide various
levels of functionality depending on the type and severity of the errors As soon as the knee joint detects a fault,
at least five long beep signals and 5 slow pulsating vibration signals are emitted The knee joint activates a safety
mode and remains in this status until the error is rectified (provided the battery capacity is sufficient)
The OPG function, Stairs and Obstacles function, Intuitive Stance function and Sitting function are always deac-
tivated in the safety mode; there are also various levels of basic functionality:
• Continuous high flexion resistance
• Continuous stance phase flexion resistance with the ability to initiate the swing phase
Depending on the type of error, swing phase initiation locking may or may not be active while walking backwards
You must therefore exercise caution when walking backwards after an error
The swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may be available or not depending on the type
of error
If safety mode was triggered due to a empty battery (see Section 72 "Charging Status"), charging the prosthesis
resets it to basic mode In this case, the resistance value configured in the X-Soft adjustment software is activated
There is also an overheating mode to protect the knee joint against excessive temperatures In this safety mode,
stance phase resistance increases as the temperature rises – especially in order to slow down walking downhill
so that overheating is not allowed to worsen Swing phase control is also progressively reduced
Overheating mode is indicated by brief vibration every 5 seconds
Basic mode is reactivated once the temperature has fallen sufficiently
