Activating the Auto-Grip Feature
11
The auto-grip feature is designed to give the user greater confidence when
grasping objects. When gripping an object, this feature will offer a grip strength that
automatically adjusts to accommodate for any slip of the gripped object.
Prosthetists can enable/disable this feature using the Steeper Configuration Device.
Auto-grip utilises the function button; please see page 14 for a diagram of location.
To operate:
The hand must be in an open position and powered on.
Press and release the function button to activate auto-grip; a single short burst
haptic vibration will indicate that the auto-grip is active.
Close the hand onto the object until the grip force increases to elicit 1 pulse.
Auto-grip is now engaged; ensuring the grip strength applied to the object is
maintained.
Once auto-grip is active, the hand must be engaged in gripping an object within
1 minute; otherwise the auto-grip function will automatically deactivate.
If the object is removed, the hand will close.
When engaged, auto-grip is cancelled by a strong open signal, or after 2 minutes
if the gripped object does not slip.
Auto-grip can also be cancelled by pressing the function button a second time
before gripping the object (producing a double burst haptic vibration).
