The charging process takes about 90 minutes. It can only be performed within the prescribed charging temperat
ure range.

Putting the battery charger into operation

Prerequisite: The prosthetic foot is not under load.
>
1) Press the button on the battery for 3 seconds.
→ The green LED on the battery lights up. The prosthetic foot performs a calibration.
A single, high beep will sound and the prosthetic foot will vibrate briefly to signify
that calibration is complete.
2) If a number of soft beeps is emitted, the calibration has failed. Flex the prosthetic
foot down (plantar flexion) until the calibration is completed.
The battery charger can charge two batteries at the same time. There is an LED for each
battery that indicates the status. An LED indicates whether the battery charger is being
supplied with power. All LEDs can be turned off with a button on the front, for example so
they are not bothersome in the dark.
1) Connect the cable of the power supply to the battery charger.
2) Connect the plug to an outlet. An LED lights up as soon as the battery charger is sup
plied with electricity.
