4 Care
4.1 Cleaning
To lengthen the lifespan of the Ability Hand, careful maintenance is required.
Rinsing the Ability Hand with water as needed will prevent dirt and dust from collecting on
the hand. Soap and water may be used to clean the Ability Hand. Preventing dirt and dust
build-up will help the Ability Hand operate as intended. The Ability Hand is water-resistant
up to the wrist and should be pointed downwards when washing it to prevent damage.
Please note that the Ability Hand is rated to IP64, which allows for the hand to be protected
in any direction of water spray (see Safety section 5 under Precautions for more
information).
Caution: Cleaning agents such as detergent or bleach may harm the Ability Hand. You
should avoid using anything other than soap and water when cleaning the hand.
4.2 Storage and Maintenance
The Ability Hand should be stored in a dry area at room temperature (70°F or 21°C). If the
Ability Hand is stored at a temperature outside of the range -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C),
significant damage may occur. We recommend that you do not perform any modifications
or maintenance on the Ability Hand. If you believe the Ability Hand is not functioning
properly or if the hand has been damaged, please contact your prosthetist to arrange for
repair or replacement.
4.3 Troubleshooting
If a finger isn’t moving properly, troubleshoot the hand by calibrating it. This can be done
one of two ways:
1.) With the PSYONIC Power Switch
a.) Turn off the hand by pressing Power Switch button
b.) Press the button on the Power Switch down for 7 seconds. The light will dim
out.
c.) Release the button on the Power Switch. The light should flicker white 3 times.
d.) Turn the hand back on.
e.) All of the fingers should move, signifying that the hand has recalibrated.
2.) With a USB-C charging cable
