6.4 Safety Shutoff
The purpose of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system safety shutoff is to protect the battery; it is
triggered in case of:
• Excessively high or low temperature
• Overvoltage or undervoltage
• Short circuit
After a short circuit, the charging plug must be plugged into the charging receptacle and then
unplugged in order for the electronics to be activated.
