MyMode without the remote control is accomplished by bouncing on the forefoot at least three times
within one second while maintaining ground contact and keeping the prosthetic leg extended� In doing
so, the forefoot has to bear approx� 40 % of the total body weight at peak load and less than approx�
25 % of the body weight at the lowest load� However, the load may not be taken off the foot fully�
3 x in
1 second
After the audible signal is emitted (one long beep and a long vibration signal), your weight needs to be
taken off the prosthesis entirely for at least one second with the knee extended (no ground contact)�
The knee joint then switches to the first MyMode and emits two short Beep and vibration signals�
The procedure for switching to the second MyMode is similar, but by bouncing four times� In this
case, the switch is indicated by three short Beep and vibration signals�
Returning to basic mode from any MyMode is accomplished by bouncing at least three times� The
switch is confirmed by a short Beep and vibration signal�
If bouncing three times is activated but bouncing four times is not, any number of bounces greater
than or equal to 3 switches to the first MyMode�
CAUTION
Improper MyMode switching. Incorrectly switching from MyModes into basic mode results in a
risk of falling (see the section MyMode Switching via remote control)!
• After switching to one of the MyModes, check the functions since you may have accidentally activa-
ted a different MyMode than you intended (see the sections MyMode Switching without the remote
control and MyMode Switching via remote control)�
• Ensure that you switch back to basic mode once your activities in the MyMode have ended�
CAUTION
Feedback is disabled in mute mode. When the mute mode is active, no feedback will be given
when switching into a MyMode or back to basic mode� If switching was unsuccessful, the behav-
iour of the knee joint may be unexpected� This may result in a risk of falling� Make sure that the
switching process has been successful before continuing to use the knee joint�
INFORMATION
Switching back to basic mode by bouncing three or more times cannot be deactivated� This
means basic mode will be selected even if switching by bouncing was not activated in the X-Soft
configuration software�
INFORMATION
Returning to basic mode is also possible by connecting the battery charger�
