This power ‘lock out’ happens automatically if the Battery operating limits are
exceeded. In this state, the Battery will not charge or discharge. Causes for the ‘lock
out’ include:
• Too high of a temperature (110˚F while charging, 150°F while walking).
• Too low of a temperature (40°F while charging, but no limit while walking).
• The Battery has reached its discharge limit.
If a Battery has been “locked out”, simply unplug the Battery and then plug it back
in to correct it.
• If the temperature was too high, allow the Battery to cool to below 110˚ F.
• If the Battery reached its discharge limit, simply recharge the battery.
Some conditions cause the Battery to lock out permanently because charging or
discharging could present a safety hazard. If a Battery goes into permanent lock
mode, it is time to replace the Battery.
ANKLE WILL NOT POWER ON
Unplug the Battery and examine the status LED inside the male side of the Battery. If
the light is blinking very short pulses, charge the Battery or try another.
Low Battery Alerts will not be given in the midst of normal walking, so as to not surprise
the user.
When the Ankle loses power, it will revert to non-powered operation. If the Ankle loses power,
turn the power OFF and install a fully charged battery to insure proper operation of the Ankle.
To conserve battery power, when not using the Ankle, turn it OFF with the power switch.
Battery operation, and therefore the Ankle operation, may be affected
by very low or very high temperatures.
