10 Additional operating states (modes)
10.1 Empty battery mode
Beeps and vibration signals are emitted if the available battery charge level drops to 0% (see page 77). During this
time, damping settings are set to their safety mode values. 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 ankle joint of the prosthetic foot is locked during the charging process.
10.3 Safety mode
The product automatically switches to safety mode if a critical error occurs (e.g. failure of a sensor signal) or if the
battery is drained. Safety mode remains in effect until the error has been rectified.
Default damping values are activated in safety mode. This makes limited walking possible for the user even though
the product is not active.
The switch to safety mode is indicated by beeps and vibration signals immediately prior to switching (see page 77).
Safety mode can be disabled by connecting then 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.
10.4 Overheating mode
To prevent overheating of the hydraulic unit due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking down­
hill), the range of motion in the ankle joint is restricted as the temperature rises. Depending on the temperature,
this restriction may also result in the ankle joint being locked completely. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the
product switches back to the settings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is indicated by a brief vibration every 5 seconds.
11 Cleaning
1) Switch off the product before cleaning.
2) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed.
Make sure that no liquids get into the product and product components.
3) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
