7.1.3 Display of the current charge level during the charging process
The battery charger has a battery capacity indicator LED:
LED shows orange light
Battery is charging.
LED shows green light
Charging process is finished and the battery is fully
charged.
7.1.4 Battery management
Electronic battery management helps the patient maintain the function of individual prosthetic components as long
as possible as the battery charge level drops.
Level 1
The product and the connected prosthetic components
move with maximum speed and power.
Level 2
The flexion force becomes weaker, the product
“fatigues”. The functions of the connected prosthetic
components remain intact.
Level 3
The patient is informed of the low battery charge level
by a vibration signal and a sound sequence. The
product stops functioning. The elbow lock can be
released and locked manually. The functions of the con
nected prosthetic components remain intact.
Level 4
A sound sequence informs the patient that the battery is
empty. Now all other prosthetic components also cease
to function.
7.1.5 Charging plug
The charging plug is suitable for bilateral amputees. It is designed so it can be inserted into the charging recept
acle with a prosthetic hand or by mouth.
The following points must be observed when charging the battery:
•
We recommend charging the product once a day when used by the patient on a daily basis.
•
The battery should be charged for at least 3 hours prior to initial use.
•
Note the permissible temperature range for charging the battery (see Page 27).
7.2 Data transfer between the product and the PC
Product settings using the adjustment software can only be made via Bluetooth data transfer. For this, a Bluetooth
wireless connection must be established between the product and the PC with the help of the 60X5 BionicLink
PC. To install the 60X5 BionicLink PC for the first time, follow the procedure described in the instructions for use
supplied with this adapter.
7.3 “646C42=V1.6 ElbowSoft” software
INFORMATION
For the installation/removal of “646C42=V1.6 ElbowSoft”, observe the 647G341 instructions for use.
7.3.1 Calibration
The flexion angle of the product is approx. 15°–145°. The effective flexion angle is determined on the user by the
shape and size of the prosthetic socket and by clothing. The flexion angle has to be determined through the calib
ration process and stored in the product.
INFORMATION
Calibration takes place in the course of the initial fitting, after adapting a new or modified socket, after each repair
and after every service.
The elbow joint cannot be adjusted if the calibration process has not been completed yet.
1) Mount the product on the socket.
2) Switch on the product.
3) Start the “646C42=V1.6 ElbowSoft” software.
For the subsequent steps, see the corresponding instructions for use.
