4.3 General safety instructions

WARNING
Non-observance of safety notices
Personal injury/damage to the product due to using the product in certain situations.
► Observe the safety notices and the stated precautions in this accompanying document.
WARNING
Use of damaged power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger
Risk of electric shock due to contact with exposed, live components.
► Do not open the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger.
► Do not expose the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger to extreme loading conditions.
► Immediately replace damaged power supply units, adapter plugs or battery chargers.
CAUTION
Failure to observe warning/error signals
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► The warnings/error signals (see page 55) and corresponding change in damping settings must be observed.
CAUTION
Failure to observe activated mute mode (silent mode)
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
The following feedback signals are deactivated when mute mode is activated:
> Long vibration signal if the hydraulic unit overheats.
> Beep and vibration signal to confirm that the movement pattern has been recognised (switching to a
MyMode/basic mode with movement pattern).
> Beep and vibration signal to indicate successful switching to a MyMode/basic mode.
> Beep and vibration signal upon successfully switching to deep sleep mode.
► Before activating mute mode, note that these feedback signals will be deactivated. For more information
about mute mode, see the section "Mute mode" (see page 43).
► Inform the patient that the changed damping characteristics have to be verified after switching to a
MyMode/basic mode.
► Ensure that the patient stands securely during all switching processes.
► To deactivate mute mode, connect and then disconnect the battery charger.
