Battery charging
»
The PIERENSTEP crutches contain
batteries which must be charged
so that the feedback system can
function. Please use the enclosed
charging unit to charge the
batteries as and when necessary
before using the crutches.
Adjusting the length

It is important to set the correct
length on the crutches. When
standing straight on the healthy
leg with the arms hanging down
by the side, both the handle piece
and the wrist joint should be at
the same height.
Switching On

In order to operate the crutches
feedback system, first remove
either the dummy plug or the
battery charger plug. At this
point it is important to note that
no weight should bear on the
crutches.
