2.10 Pairing of the Remote Control and Battery Change
INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
2.10.1 Pairing
CAUTION
Fault while connecting the C-Leg and remote control (pairing). If several joints are present in close prox-
imity, this can result in unwanted connection of the remote control with another joint (pairing). This can cause the
patient to fall.
Given that only one joint may be paired with a remote control, it must be ensured that no other joint is in the cir-
cumference of 3 m during the pairing.
INFORMATION
If the C-Leg still is in the delivery state, pairing is not required.
Pairing serves to permanently connect a C-Leg to a remote control. Pairing is done
• as soon as a new remote control (replacement) is used with the C-Leg.
• if a configuration or mode switch cannot be effected with fully charged batteries of the joint and the remote con-
trol within the working range of the remote control (70 cm).
For pairing, the following switching procedures with the remote control have been determined:
Performing the pairing (matching the C‑Leg to the remote control)
2.10.2 Battery Change
CAUTION
Impermissible replacement of the battery of the remote control. Replacing the battery on your own initia-
tive can result in defects of the remote control. Malfunction and subsequent unexpected actions of the joint are
then possible. This can cause the patient to fall.
• The battery of the remote control may only be changed by an authorized Ottobock Service Centre.
• To replace the batteries outside of the prescribed service intervals, send the remote control to the authorised
Ottobock Service. Upon receipt of the remote control with a new battery, the remote control must be paired
with the C-Leg (see Section 2.10.1).

1 Distance between the remote control and C-Leg: Hold the remote control at
a distance of 30 to 70 cm to the joint.
2 Pairing between the remote control and C-Leg: Briefly press the start button
by poking a thin object (e.g. a paper clip) through the small hole of the remote
control (Fig. 1).
3 Signals: The joint will confirm the successful pairing with 5 short beep signals.
