Important Note - Otto Bock BEBIONIC small User Manual

Important Note

Avoid impacts and do not subject the arm to excessive loads, particularly where your safety
relies on the integrity of the arm and the suspension that holds it in place.
If you have a particular occupational or recreational activity that may overload the arm, please
discuss it with your prosthetic provider. It may be possible to design or adapt your arm so that
it is suitable for your special requirements. We accept no responsibility for any damage or injury
caused through improper use.
When attaching or detaching a bebionic hand to/from a prosthesis, it is important to first
disconnect power by moving the battery switch to the OFF position. This is to avoid a potential
current surge to the hand when it connects/disconnects with the power source
Driving
It is the responsibility of each user to ensure they comply with local regulations before operating
any motorized vehicle.
Batteries
One fully-charged battery can provide power to a bebionic hand for more than a day for average
user function. We recommend that the battery is charged each night so that a regular charging
pattern is established, and you start each day with a fully charged battery.
Batteries
Please ensure that you use the correct charger for the battery pack as provided with your
bebionic hand.
You MUST NOT ATTEMPT to charge these high current Lithium Ion / Polymer batteries with a
charger designed for other types of battery technology. If you have any doubts, please contact
your prosthetic provider.
It is important to remove the prosthesis and place it in a stable place where it will not fall before
charging the battery. Position the small round output plug on the charger into the charging
port on the socket. Insert the mains plug fitted to the transformer into a socket of the domestic
power supply.
Move the battery switch to the OFF position, i.e. towards the charging port. The charger lights
will flash, as indicated on the charger, please allow time for the unit to settle. It is important to
return the battery switch to the ON position once fully charged to return power to the hand. This
should be done by moving the battery switch away from the charging port.
