► Check the current charge level before use and charge the prosthesis if required.
► Note that the operating time of the product may be reduced at low ambient temperatures or due to ageing of
the battery.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching in the joint flexion area
Injuries due to pinching of body parts.
► Ensure that fingers/body parts or soft tissue of the residual limb are not in this area when bending the joint.
CAUTION
Penetration of dirt and humidity into the product

INFORMATION
Knee joint movement noise
When using exoprosthetic knee joints, servomotor, hydraulic, pneumatic or brake load dependent control func­
tions can cause movement noise. This kind of noise is normal and unavoidable. It generally does not indicate any
problems. If movement noise increases noticeably during the lifecycle of the knee joint, the knee joint should be
inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre immediately.
