Battery Capacity - Otto Bock Genium X3 Series Patient Information

In addition, swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may or may not be available
depending on the type of error�
If safety mode was triggered due to a empty battery (see Section "Charging the knee joint"), charg-
ing 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�
CAUTION
Feedback is disabled. When the mute mode is active, all vibration an beep signals are disabled�
In case of low battery or system errors, the safety modes will be activated without warnings� If
unexpected, this can cause you to fall� Be aware of this fact before activating the mute mode�
CAUTION
Non-active safety mode. If the safety mode can no longer be activated, there is the risk that
you will fall�
If the knee joint can no longer be set to safety mode, you must actively secure the knee joint with
the residual limb musculature upon heel strike and visit a prosthetist as soon as possible�
CAUTION
Danger when activating safety mode. The damping characteristics of the knee joint change
when a safety mode is activated� In certain situations, this can cause you to fall�
As soon as the sound and vibration signals are emitted simultaneously, stop all activities involving
the leg prosthesis� After approx� 10 seconds in a secure standing position, determine whether
stance phase resistance is active by repeatedly flexing the knee joint slightly under controlled load�
CAUTION
Safety mode cannot be deactivated. When the knee joint is in safety mode, this most likely
indicates a knee joint defect� Malfunctions may occur in this state� This can cause you to fall�
If the safety mode could not be deactivated by recharging the battery, an error has occurred�
Contact the prosthetist to have the error corrected�

Battery Capacity

During normal operation, the battery charge level is indicated via vibration signals (in addition to the
display on the remote control) (see Section "Charging the knee joint")�
