Additional operating states (modes)

12 Additional operating states (modes)

12.1 Empty battery mode

Beeps and vibration signals are emitted if the available battery charge level drops to 5% (see Page 107). The set­
tings are changed to the safety mode parameters during this time. Then the product is switched off.
INFORMATION
After disconnecting the battery charger, the orthosis is in the same state it was in before connecting the battery
charger. For example, if the orthosis was switched off before connecting the battery charger, it will also be
switched off after disconnecting the battery charger. A descending sequence of beeps is emitted when the bat­
tery charger is disconnected while the orthosis is switched off

12.2 Mode for charging the product

The product is non-functional during charging.
To switch to basic mode, the battery charger for the product must be disconnected after the battery is charged.

12.3 Safety mode

The product automatically switches to safety mode if a critical fault occurs (e.g. failure of a sensor signal). Safety
mode remains in effect until the error has been rectified.
Flexion resistance configured in the adjustment app is activated in safety mode (Safety mode flexion resistance),
corresponding at least to the stance phase resistance. The extension resistance is low and cannot be changed.
Swing phase release is not possible. This makes limited walking possible for the user and allows the user to sit
down, even though the sensor system is not active.
The switch to safety mode is indicated by the red
nals immediately prior to switching (see Page 107).
The current safety mode can be reset by switching the product off/on (see Page 97), or by connecting and then
disconnecting the battery charger. If the product switches into safety mode again or at a later time, this means a
permanent error exists. The product must be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.

12.4 Overheating mode

When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking downhill), the
flexion resistance is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the overheating. When the
hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the settings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyMode "User defined".
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds and additionally by the orange
ing up.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• Sitting function
• Switching to a MyMode
• Changing the orthosis settings

13 Cleaning

1) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed.
2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
Orthosis shell padding
1) Remove the padding materials from the orthosis shells.
2) Fasten all hook-and-loop closures, if any.
3) If the padding materials "623P3 terry cloth padding fabric" or "623F62 SpaceTex padding fabric" are used,
hand wash these in warm water at 30 °C/86 °F with a standard mild detergent.
If other padding materials are used, observe the care symbols and cleaning instructions for those materials.
4) Rinse out detergent residues thoroughly.
5) Allow to air dry. Do not expose to sources of direct heat (e.g. sunlight, stove or radiator).
6) After the padding material is completely dry, reattach it to the orthosis shells on the correct sides.
