• The temperature is too low (less than 5 °C during charging, no limit during use)
• The battery is drained (protection against deep discharge)
The prosthetic foot can still be used, but no longer has any active functions.
1) If battery sleep mode has been activated: Press and hold the button on the battery to restart the prosthetic
foot.
→ The LED on the battery flashes red: There is a problem with the battery. Contact your O&P professional.
→ The LEDs on the battery do not respond: Charge the battery.
2) If the temperature was too high: Let the battery cool down.
