2.3 How to Install FlexCell A. If the charging port will be mounted on the prosthesis surface, place the provided flange in the desired location when molding the shell to create an accurate opening. - Page 15 B. Place the FlexCell batteries anywhere within the prosthesis shell, taking care to ensure the batteries are not compressed and will never be in contact with the user’s skin. Adhesives can be used to secure the batteries to the shell’s inner surface.
- Page 16 Check the orientation if it does not plug in easily. Only use FlexCell batteries with the FlexCell charging port and junction box D. Connect the output connector to the terminal device. Pay close attention to the polarity of the connector depicted below.
- Page 17 E. Insert the charging port into the flange. It is designed to only insert one way and should snap in easily. Check the orientation if it does not insert easily.

Page 22: Charging The Batteries
3.3 Charging the Batteries 1. Plug the supplied wall adapter block into a wall outlet. 2. Connect the FlexCell charger adapter to the plug of the wall adapter, depicted above right. Only use wall adapters provided by Infinite Biomedical Technologies. - Page 23 3. To charge the batteries, place the magnetic connector over the charging port’s charging pads. The two magnets on the magnetic connector align with the steel bar on the charging port. The magnetic connector will snap in place.
- Page 24 The green light will disappear when the batteries are done charging. To stop charging the batteries, remove the connector and place it on the housing attachment to prevent damage to the connector pins. FlexCell battery systems charge fully in approximately 3 hours.

Page 26: Preventative Inspection
If batteries become inflated or excessively hot, discontinue use immediately and contact Infinite Biomedical Technologies. Use a dry cloth to clean FlexCell components as necessary. The metal contacts on the charging port should be cleared of any debris build-up using a q-tip or other non-metallic object such as a toothpick. -
Page 27: Safety And Warnings
Liquid damage warning: FlexCell is not designed to be waterproof. Do not submerge or spill liquid on or into the prosthesis as it will likely cause a malfunction in FlexCell. If the prosthesis will be worn in wet environments, ensure that FlexCell is sufficiently protected from the external environment. - Page 28 Heat warning: Do not expose FlexCell to a heat source such as a fire, even if FlexCell is within the prosthesis. Do not leave FlexCell in a high-temperature environment (e.g. under direct sunlight or in a closed vehicle during hot weather)
