2.9.3 Optimization of the Damping Behaviour in the 1st Mode
INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
This functionality is not intended for joint adjustment by the prosthetist, who should adjust the joint by means of the
C-Soft adjustment software.
Changes to the damping behaviour which were effected with the remote control are not displayed by the C-Soft.
CAUTION
Incorrect behaviour during optimization of the damping behaviour. The patient can adapt the damping
behaviour slightly during everyday use to meet his or her requirements. In certain situations, this can cause the
patient to fall.
The patient must stand very securely during this procedure.
This functionality enables the patient to adapt the damping behaviour of his or her C-Leg slightly during everyday
use (e.g. when getting used to the prosthesis or for a changed gait pattern). For safety purposes, the damping
behaviour can only be slightly changed with the remote control.

1 Activation of the remote control: Press key 3
and kep it pressed (Fig. 1) until the joint confirms the
activation with a vibration signal.
2 Configuration of the damping behaviour: Within
3 seconds after activation, push and hold button 3 on
the remote control again. Additionally, press key 1 or
2 briefly:
• Key 1 – change from standard to comfort or from
dynamic to standard respectively (Fig. 2).
• Key 2 – change from standard to dynamic or from
comfort to standard respectively (Fig. 3).
3 Signals: The successful setting of the damping pa-

rameters is confirmed acoustically with the following
beep signals:
• Comfort = 1 × beep signal
3
• Standard = 2 × beep signals
• Dynamic = 3 × beep signals
