4.2 Structure of the safety instructions

WARNING
The heading describes the source and/or the type of hazard
The introduction describes the consequences in case of failure to observe the safety instructions. Consequences
are presented as follows if more than one consequence is possible:
> E.g.: Consequence 1 in the event of failure to observe the hazard
> E.g.: Consequence 2 in the event of failure to observe the hazard
► This symbol identifies activities/actions that must be observed/carried out in order to avert the hazard.

4.3 General safety instructions

WARNING
Non-observance of safety notices
Personal injury/damage to the product due to using the product in certain situations.
► Observe the safety notices and the stated precautions in this accompanying document.
WARNING
Use of damaged power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger
Risk of electric shock due to contact with exposed, live components.
► Do not open the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger.
► Do not expose the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger to extreme loading conditions.
► Immediately replace damaged power supply units, adapter plugs or battery chargers.
CAUTION
Failure to observe warning/error signals
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► The warnings/error signals (see Page 107) and corresponding change in damping settings must be observed.
CAUTION
Failure to observe activated mute mode (silent mode)
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
The following feedback signals are deactivated when mute mode is activated:
> Long vibration signal if the hydraulic unit overheats.
> Beep and vibration signal to confirm that the movement pattern has been recognised (switching to a
MyMode/basic mode with movement pattern).
> Beep and vibration signal to indicate successful switching to a MyMode/basic mode.
> Beep and vibration signal upon successfully switching to deep sleep mode.
► Before activating mute mode, note that these feedback signals will be deactivated. For more information
about mute mode, see the section "Mute mode" (see Page 96).
► Inform the patient that the changed damping characteristics have to be verified after switching to a
MyMode/basic mode.
► Ensure that the patient stands securely during all switching processes.
► To deactivate mute mode, connect and then disconnect the battery charger.
