2 Operation
Ability Hand is to be purchased and fitted by a certified prosthetist. Contact your certified
prosthetist if you have any difficulty operating your Ability Hand or any of its associated
components. You may also contact PSYONIC directly at 1-888-PSYONIC (779-6642).
2.1 Powering on
The Ability Hand contains a PSYONIC Power Switch located towards the middle of the socket.
The following instructions demonstrate how to properly power on and off the Ability Hand.
1) Press the button on the PSYONIC Power Switch once for a couple seconds to turn on
the Ability Hand. The light on the PSYONIC Power Switch will flash white three times
rapidly and then display the color of the grip your hand was left in after powering it
off. If the hand was charged in between the times of powering the hand off and
turning it back on, the hand may calibrate, moving each individual finger to its
resting position. Make sure each finger is clear of any obstructions to ensure
accurate calibration of each finger.
2) To turn off the Ability Hand, hold down the power button for a couple of seconds. The
light will flash white three times and then will disappear. After the light is gone, the
hand is now powered off.
2.2 Charging the Battery
When charging the Ability Hand, use only the charging unit provided to you by PSYONIC.
Follow the instructions below to properly charge the Ability Hand.
1) Before charging the Ability Hand, remove the socket from your residual limb.
2) Place the socket with the Ability Hand on a stable surface and plug the charging
cord into the USB-C charging port located on the PSYONIC Power Switch.
3) Connect the wall adapter to an appropriate wall socket. Charging will begin once
the wall adapter is connected. The LED on the PSYONIC Power Switch will illuminate
during the charging process. When the hand is charging, the LED will continue to
flash a color correlated to the charge level.
a. For red, the battery charge is between 0% and 25%.
