INFORMATION
The prosthetist's setting is usually found in the middle of the scale. After making changes, the setting established
by the prosthetist can be restored by moving the slider to the middle.
INFORMATION
The knee joint settings should be optimised by the prosthetist using X-Soft. The remote control is not intended for
use by the prosthetist in order to set up the knee joint. The day-to-day behaviour of the prosthesis can be changed
to a certain degree when the patient uses the remote control (e.g. as the user is becoming accustomed to the pros-
thesis). At the next appointment, the prosthetist can trace the changes in X-Soft.
The tables below show the adjustment parameters for the individual MyModes along with a brief description, the
adjustment range of the remote control around the value selected by the prosthetist and the absolute value range.

7.7 Deep sleep mode
INFORMATION
Advise your patient of the information in this section.
The remote control can be used to place the knee joint in a deep sleep mode, in which power consumption is mini-
mised. The knee joint offers no functionality in this mode.
It can be awakened from deep sleep mode with the remote control or by connecting the charger.
