WARNING
Danger of accidents when operating a motor vehicle. The ability of leg prosthesis wearers to
operate a motor vehicle is determined on a case-by-case basis� Criteria include the type of fitting
(amputation height, unilateral or bilateral, residual limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and
the individual abilities of the leg prosthesis wearer� Ensure you observe the applicable national
laws for the operation of motor vehicles and have your driving ability examined and certified by an
authorised agency for insurance purposes� In general, Ottobock recommends that vehicles should
be professionally retrofitted to meet each user's individual needs (e� g� automatic transmission)�
Risk-free driving must be ensured even when the leg prosthesis is not functioning�
CAUTION
Malfunction of the knee joint. Malfunctions of the knee joint can cause you to fall�
Observe the vibration signals and audible warnings (beep signals) of the knee joint�
CAUTION
Non-active safety mode. If safety mode can no longer be activated, there is a risk of falling� If
the knee joint is no longer able to select safety mode (e�g� in case of short circuit caused by water
penetration), the knee joint may have to be actively secured upon heel impact using the residual
limb musculature until reaching a prosthetist or replacing the prosthesis� In this case, the prosthet-
ist must be contacted promptly�
CAUTION
Risk of pinching in the flexion range area of the joint. Keep fingers / body parts away from
this area when flexing the joint�
CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth devices,
WiFi devices). Unexpected prosthesis behaviour due to interference with internal data communi-
cation� In certain situations, this can cause the user to fall�
Therefore, maintain the following minimum distance from these HF communication devices:
• Mobile phone GSM 850/GSM 900: 0�99m
• Mobile phone GSM 1800/GSM 1900/UMTS: 0�7m
• DECT cordless phones incl� base station: 0�35m
• WiFi (routers, access points,...): 0�22m
• Bluetooth devices (third-party products not approved by Ottobock): 0�22m
