Safety signal for incorrect connection to the tube adapter
If the tube adapter is somehow disconnected from the C-Leg®compact
joint while in operation and with sufficient battery capacity, the
C-Leg®compact will emit short beeps and, for approximately five
minutes, vibrate with slow, pulsing signals. The C-Leg®compact
will activate the safety mode and maintain it until the tube adapter
cable is correctly attached (provided the battery capacity remains
sufficient).
Safety signal occurs. The safety signal indicates an
CAUTION
error of the joint.
When in this condition, malfunctions can occur. This can cause
you to fall. In the event such a safety signal occurs, stop all activi-
ties with the C-Leg®compact and have the error resolved by your
prosthetist.

During normal operation, the battery capacity is indicated with dif-
ferent vibration signals:

Ventilation
Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the C-Leg®compact is
not stored in an upright position. This is noticeable through sounds
and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic ventilation mechanism ensures that all functions of
the C-Leg®compact are again intact after approximately 10 – 20
steps.
