Installing hand
1. Connect the 4-pin plug, Sensors and Power Switch to the Switch Block
(see figure 3 below).
2. If using a pattern recognition system, connect its 2-pin half-moon connector to
the COM input line. Do not connect this to the Power Switch.
3. Power on the hand and check the sensors are both functional. Power the hand
OFF before continuing.
4. Guide the wires through the centre bore of the Lamination Ring. Take care not
to pinch the wires.

5. Rotate the hand 90 degrees from the centre of the rotation lock and guide the
hand onto the collar (see figure 4 below). Take care to not catch loose wires.
6. Press the hand firmly into the Lamination Ring and rotate 90 degrees to secure
the hand to the rest of the prosthesis (see figure 5 below). The top/dorsal plate
should be in the centre of the wrist range of motion.
7. Apply a small amount of Low Profile Wrist Lubricant to the thread of the LP Wrist
Set Screw.
8. Pull the silicone boot back and thread the screw into the hole (see figure 5
below). The screw (which provides an end-stop for the rotation) is intended to
bottom out before the head is flush with the collar. Do not overtighten.
9. Verify the hand can rotate 45 degrees each way and is secure to the prosthesis.
