IBT morph lock, Installation And Setup Manual

If the battery is charged, try approaching a tag, and tap the electrodes to
determine if the hand stopped responding to EMG. It is possible that
morph
lock is installed in a way that dampens the vibration. If after approaching a
tag, the hand no longer responds to EMG, morph lock detected the tag, but
the vibration may be too subtle to feel. Please note that the vibration may be
easier to detect while wearing the prosthesis. Try placing your finger in the
inner socket to feel the vibration there.
If the hand continues to respond to EMG after you approach a tag, the
antenna may be installed in a way that diminishes
morph lock 's range.
Consider shifting components away from the morph lock antenna. The
antenna’s range may degrade if there are too many components touching it.
THE HAND DOES NOT MOVE WHEN I TAP AN ELECTRODE
First, check that the battery is on and charged. Press the button on FlexCell to
ensure that there is charge remaining on the battery. If discharged, connect
the charger and test again after charging. If powered off, turn the battery on,
and approach the tag again.
If the battery is charged, attempt tapping the other electrode to determine
if this creates a response. If it does, the electrode that is not working may
require a higher gain. Connect to the hand software to visualize the EMG
signals and adjust the thresholds. If the gain is not the issue, the electrode
may have been disconnected from the
morph lock Electrode Input Cable. Or
the morph lock output cable may have been disconnected from the terminal
device. Check the cabling and ensure that everything is connected correctly.
Make sure that the prosthesis is not currently locked. Approach a tag and
check for a single vibration (signalling that morph unlocked the prosthesis).
Then, tap the electrode with your finger and observe the hand.
