Additional Operating States (Modes); Empty Battery Mode; Mode For Charging The Prosthesis; Safety Mode - Otto Bock Genium X3 3B5-3 Instructions For Use Manual

→ A confirmation signal will sound to indicate that the prosthesis has successfully switched over
to basic mode.
INFORMATION: If this confirmation signal does not sound, the leg with the prosthesis
was not correctly kept still or mute mode (silent mode) is activated. Repeat the pro­
cess for correct switching. For more information about mute mode, see the section
"Mute mode" (see page 82).

10 Additional operating states (modes)

10.1 Empty battery mode

Beeps and vibration signals are emitted if the available battery charge level is 5% (see page 95).
During this time, damping settings are set to their safety mode values. This may be low or high
depending on the setting in the adjustment software. The prosthesis is then switched off. You can
switch back to basic mode (mode 1) from empty battery mode by charging the product.

10.2 Mode for charging the prosthesis

The product is non-functional during charging.
The product is set to the flexion resistance of safety mode. This may be low or high depending on
the setting configured by the O&P professional.

10.3 Safety mode

The product automatically switches to safety mode if a critical fault occurs (e.g. failure of a sensor
signal). Safety mode remains in effect until the error has been rectified.
The switch to safety mode is indicated by beeps and vibration signals immediately prior to switch­
ing (see page 95).
Safety mode can be disabled by connecting and disconnecting the battery charger. If the product
switches into safety mode again, this means a permanent error exists. The product must be
inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
Depending on the type and severity of the error, different remaining functionality is offered in
safety mode. This makes limited walking possible for the user depending on the type of error.
The following remaining functionality is available:
Minor error: Continuous stance phase flexion resistance is set, with the ability to initiate the
•
swing phase.
Moderate error: Continuous stance phase flexion resistance is set, with the ability to initiate
•
the swing phase. The swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may be
available or not depending on the type of error.
• Safety mode flexion resistance is configured. This may be low or high depending on the set­
ting configured by the O&P professional.
The following functions are deactivated in safety mode:
• OPG function
• Stairs and obstacles function
• Stance function
• Sitting function

10.4 Overheating mode

INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), the flexion resistance is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counter­
act the overheating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the set­
tings that existed prior to overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.
