7.1 Charging the Battery

The 757B501 AxonEnergy Integral must be charged prior to initial use. The 757B501 AxonEnergy Integral may
only be charged with the 757L500 AxonCharge Integral. The charging process can only be performed with the
13E500 AxonMaster connected.
1) Connect the charging plug of the 757L500 AxonCharge Integral to the charging receptacle.
→ The beeper sounds briefly 2x.
→ The Axon-Bus prosthethic system is deactivated and the charging process starts automatically.
2) To activate the Axon-Bus prosthethic system, disconnect the charging plug and switch on the Axon-Bus pros­
thethic system.
INFORMATION: The prosthesis cannot be used during the charging process.
The product is powered by an integrated high-quality Li-Ion battery with sufficient capacity to operate for one full
day of usual everyday activities. Turning the product off during longer periods of passive use (e.g. air or rail travel,
visit to a theatre or cinema, etc.) will make the battery last longer. We recommend charging the product once a day
when used by the patient on a daily basis. Electronic battery management provides the patient with information
about the battery charge level (battery management).
The charging unit consists of the charging plug and the power cord. The battery charger has an input voltage
range of 100–240 V and may be operated in a mains frequency range of 50–60 Hz.

7.2 Charging Receptacle

The charging receptacle (Fig. 1, item 2) has the following functions:
• Contacts for charging the battery
• LED display to indicate the current battery charge level
• LED display for providing feedback on operating states
• Button to turn the Axon-Bus prosthetic system on and off, display the battery charge level and open the Axon-
Bus gripping component in an emergency
• Beeper for providing feedback on operating states
• Button for activating the Bluetooth function.

7.3 Determining the Battery Charge Level

The battery charge level can be queried at any time.
1. With the Axon-Bus prosthetic system switched on, press the charging receptacle button (Fig. 2, arrow) and
hold for less than one second.
2. The LED is illuminated. The colour of the LED indicates the current battery charge level.

→ The beeper emits two short signals.

7.5 Switching Off the Axon-Bus Prosthetic System

► Press the charging receptacle button and hold for more than one second (Fig. 2, arrow).
→ The beeper emits one long signal.

7.6 Safety Shutoff

The purpose of the safety shutoff is to protect the battery; it is triggered in case of:
• Excessively high or low temperature
• Overvoltage or undervoltage
• Short circuit.
After a short circuit the battery charger must be connected and then disconnected in order for the electronics to be
activated.
