4.5 Information on the Power Supply/Battery Charging

WARNING
Use of damaged power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger
Risk of electric shock due to contact with exposed, live components.
Do not open the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger.
►
► Do not expose the power supply unit, adapter plug or battery charger to extreme loading
conditions.
► Immediately replace damaged power supply units, adapter plugs or battery chargers.
CAUTION
Use of the product when battery charge level is too low
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour.
► Check the current charge level before use and charge the product if required.
► Note that the operating time of the product may be reduced at low ambient temperatures or
due to ageing of the battery.
CAUTION
Charging the product without taking it off
> Falling due to walking and getting caught on a connected battery charger.
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour because of changed damping behaviour.
► For safety reasons, take the product off before charging the battery.
CAUTION
Danger when empty battery mode is activated
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour.
Obtain instruction about the selected damping behaviour in empty battery mode.
►
► To configure "Empty Battery Mode Free", you must have the necessary muscular and cog­
nitive abilities to control a freely moving knee joint without stance phase locking.
► You can switch back to basic mode from empty battery mode by charging the product.
► Observe the error signals (see Page 63).
CAUTION
Product not set upright for storage/charging
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product as a result of changed damping behaviour
caused by air in the hydraulic unit.
Always keep the product upright for charging and storage.
►
► Before using the product, verify that the damping behaviour corresponds to the chosen
mode.
► Take note of noises or inconsistent damping behaviour.
► Walk 10 to 20 steps in order to activate the automatic bleeding process.
