Note that only a few grips or actions will still be possible with the terminal device when the
►
battery voltage gets very low.
A small opening width may indicate a low battery voltage.

3.4 Information on Alignment/Adjustment
CAUTION
Operator errors during the adjustment process with the adjustment software
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
Participation in an Ottobock product training course is required prior to initial use. Addition
►
al product training courses may become necessary to qualify for software updates.
Transfer the setting changes to the terminal device before you check the settings on the
►
patient.
Use the online help which is integrated into the software.
►
CAUTION
Use of unapproved accessories
>
Injury due to product malfunction as a result of reduced resistance to interference.
>
Interference of other electronic devices due to increased emissions.
Only use the product in combination with the accessories, signal converters and cables lis
►
ted in the sections "Combination possibilities" (Combination possibilities), "Scope of deliv
ery" (Scope of delivery) and "Accessories" (Accessories).
CAUTION
Use of unsuitable prosthetic components
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
Use the product only in combination with components listed in the section "Combination
►
possibilities" (Combination possibilities).
CAUTION
Failure to observe the instructions for use of all prosthesis components used
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
Observe the instructions for use of the prosthesis components used.
►
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings/electrode assignment
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact
►
as possible. In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the
electrodes should be checked and changed if necessary. If the interference cannot be elim
inated or if you do not achieve the expected results by adjustment or selection of the appro
priate control programme, please contact the Ottobock branch responsible for your country.
Set the electrode sensitivity as low as possible in order to reduce interference from powerful
►
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores), metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters, trans
former stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
Make sure that the electrode connection positions correspond to physiological opening and
►
closing for the corresponding muscle groups.
