► Participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to using the product.
During this product training course you will receive a password giving you access to the
adjustment software. Additional product training courses may become necessary to qualify

► Use the online help which is integrated into the software.
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
► The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact
as possible. In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the
electrodes should be checked and changed if necessary. If the interference cannot be elim­
inated or if you do not achieve the expected results by adjustment or selection of the appro­
priate control programme, please contact the Ottobock branch responsible for your country.
► Set the electrode gain as low as possible in order to reduce interference from powerful elec­
tromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores), metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters, trans­
former stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
INFORMATION
