Charging the battery

7 Charging the battery
The following points must be observed when charging the battery:
• With average use, the capacity of the fully charged battery is sufficient for about 5 days.
• We recommend charging the product overnight when used by the patient on a daily basis.
• When used daily, the complete charging unit (power supply – battery charger) may remain plugged into the
wall socket.
• The battery should be charged for at least 3 hours prior to initial use.
• Note the permissible temperature range for charging the battery (see Page 94).
• Use the 757L16* power supply and 4E60* battery charger to charge the battery.
• The distance between the battery charger and the receiver on the product must not exceed 2 mm.
• The tube adapter must be connected before disconnecting the battery charger, otherwise an error message
will result (see Page 91).

7.1 Connecting the power supply and battery charger

1
1) Slide the country-specific plug adapter onto the power supply until it locks into place (see fig. 1).
2) Connect the round, three-pin plug of the power supply to the receptacle on the battery charger (see fig. 2) so
that the plug locks into place.
INFORMATION: Ensure correct polarity (guide lug). Do not use force when connecting the cable plug
to the battery charger.
3) Plug the power supply unit into the outlet (see fig. 3).
→ The green LED on the back of the power supply lights up.
→ The LED ring (status indicator) on the rear of the charger lights up green to indicate the correct connection
to the power supply.
→ If the green LED on the power supply and the LED ring on the battery charger do not light up, there is an error
(see Page 91).

7.2 Charging the prosthesis battery

7.3 Display of the current charge level

7.3.1 Display of battery charge level without additional devices

INFORMATION
The charge level cannot be displayed by turning the prosthesis over during the charging process.

1) Connect the inductive charger to the receiver of the charging unit on the rear of
the product. The charger is held in place by a magnet.
→ The LED ring on the rear of the charger pulsates purple (4-second cycle).
→ If the LED ring lights up in a different colour, this indicates an error (see
Page 91).
2) The charging process starts.
→ Once the product battery is fully charged, all LEDs on the side of the battery
charger light up.
3) After the charging process is complete, hold the prosthesis still and remove the
inductive charger from the receiver.
→ A self-test is performed. The joint is operational only after corresponding
feedback (see Page 93).
