CAUTION
Operator errors when adjusting settings using the adjustment software
Falling due to unexpected prosthesis behaviour.
► Do not charge the prosthesis battery during the adjustment process since the prosthesis is not functional
while the battery is being charged.
► During the adjustment process, the prosthesis must not remain unattended when connected to the adjustment
software while being worn by the patient.
► Observe the maximum range of the Bluetooth connection and note that obstacles may limit this range.
► During the data transfer (PC to prosthesis), the prosthesis wearer should sit or stand still, and the BionicLink
PC must not be removed from the computer.
► If you want to make only temporary changes to the settings while connected to the adjustment software, you
must reverse these changes before disconnecting the adjustment software.
You must also ensure the patient does not leave the range of the Bluetooth connection if settings have been
changed temporarily.
► Inform the patient immediately if the data connection is accidentally interrupted during the adjustment pro­
cess.
► The connection to the prosthesis must always be disconnected after adjustments have been completed.
► Successful participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to initial use. Additional
product training courses may be required to qualify for software updates.
► The correct input of the foot size, prosthesis dimensions, body weight and calibration are important criteria for
achieving a quality fitting. If the values are too high, the prosthesis may not switch to the swing phase. If the
values are too low, the prosthesis may trigger the swing phase at the wrong time.
► If the patient uses walking aids (e.g., crutches or walking canes) during the adjustment process, you will need
to readjust the settings when the patient no longer requires these aids.
► Use the online help function integrated into the software.
► Do not disclose your personal access data.
CAUTION
Safety mode flexion resistance set too low
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of switching into safety mode.
► Safety mode flexion resistance should be configured so that it is possible to stand safely without the knee joint
buckling.
CAUTION
Using the product without calibration
Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of the swing phase being initiated too early/too late.
► Use the adjustment software to carry out calibration at the beginning of static alignment optimisation and at
the end of dynamic alignment optimisation.

4.7 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, WiFi
devices)
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Therefore, keeping a minimum distance of 30 cm to HF communication devices is recommended.
CAUTION
Operating the product in very close proximity to other electronic devices
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data communication.
► Do not operate the product in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices.
► Do not stack the product with other electronic devices during operation.
► If simultaneous operation cannot be avoided, monitor the product and verify proper use in the existing setup.
