Switching On Ankle Lock; Switching From A Mymode Back To Basic Mode - Otto Bock 1B1-2 Meridium Instructions For Use Manual

8.3.3 Switching on ankle lock

INFORMATION
If the Volume parameter is set to '0' in the Cockpit app or using the remote control, there are
no beep signals (see Page 69).
Information on switching
• The ankle lock must be selected in the adjustment software as MyMode. In addition, the num­
ber of motion patterns used to switch it on must be activated in the adjustment software.
• Before further activities, always check whether the selected mode corresponds to the
required motion type.
Switching process
1) Hold the prosthetic leg under the body.
2) Using the heel of the prosthetic foot, knock on a solid obstacle behind you (e.g. a wall)
according to the number of the configured MyMode (MyMode 1 = 3 times, MyMode 2 = 4
times, MyMode 3 = 5 times). It is also possible to knock against the tip of the shoe of the con­
tralateral leg.
→ A beep and vibration signal will occur to confirm that the movement pattern has been
recognised.
3) Lean the prosthetic foot slightly to the back and place weight on the forefoot.
INFORMATION: If the prosthetic foot is strongly dorsiflexed, weight can be placed on
the heel.
→ A confirmation signal will sound to indicate that the prosthesis has successfully switched
to the corresponding mode (2 times = MyMode 1, 3 times = MyMode 2, 4 times =
MyMode 3).
INFORMATION: If this confirmation signal does not occur, weight was not placed
on the prosthetic foot correctly or not for enough time. Repeat the process to cor­
rectly switch to the required mode.
4) Remove the load from the prosthetic leg.
→ The mode has been changed.
5) Within 2 seconds, lower the prosthetic leg and assume the required position of the ankle
angle.
→ At the end of this time, a signal will occur to indicate the locking of the ankle joint.

8.3.4 Switching from a MyMode back to basic mode

INFORMATION
If the Volume parameter is set to '0' in the Cockpit app or using the remote control, there are
no beep signals (see Page 69).
Information on switching
• Regardless of the configuration of additional MyModes in the adjustment software, it is always
possible to switch back to basic mode (mode 1) with a motion pattern.
• It is always possible to switch back to basic mode (mode 1) by connecting/disconnecting the
battery charger.
• Before further activities, always check whether the selected mode corresponds to the
required motion type.
Switching process
1) Hold the prosthetic leg under the body.
2) Using the heel of the prosthetic foot, knock on a solid obstacle behind you at least 3 times but
no more than 5 times.
