changed. This makes limited walking possible for the user and allows the user to sit down, even
though the sensor system is not active.
The switch to safety mode is indicated by the red
and vibration signals immediately prior to switching (see Page 92).
The current safety mode can be reset by switching the product off/on (see Page 83) and by con­
necting then disconnecting the battery charger. If the product switches into safety mode again or
at a later time, this means a permanent error exists. The product must be inspected immediately
by an O&P professional.

10.4 Overheating mode

When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), the flexion resistance is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counter­
act the overheating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the set­
tings that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyMode "User defined".
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds and additionally by the orange
symbol lighting up.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• Sitting function
• Switching to a MyMode
• Changing the orthosis settings

11 Cleaning

1) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed.
2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
Orthosis shell padding
1) Remove the padding materials from the orthosis shells.
2) Fasten all hook-and-loop closures, if any.
3) If the padding materials "623P3 terry cloth padding fabric" or "623F62 SpaceTex padding
fabric" are used, hand wash these in warm water at 30 °C/86 °F with a standard mild deter­
gent.
If other padding materials are used, observe the care symbols and cleaning instructions for
those materials.
4) Rinse out detergent residues thoroughly.
5) Allow to air dry. Do not expose to sources of direct heat (e.g. sunlight, stove or radiator).
6) After the padding material is completely dry, reattach it to the orthosis shells on the correct
sides.

12 Maintenance

Conducting regular service inspections (maintenance) is mandatory for the following reasons:
• Patient safety
• Maintaining operational safety and protecting the warranty
• Maintaining basic safety and essential performance
• Ensuring safety in regards to EMC
These service inspections include an inspection of the sensors and replacement of wear and tear
parts.
If maintenance is due, this is indicated after the service interval has expired by the
the control panel of the joint unit lighting up after connecting the battery charger. For further
information, please contact your O&P professional.
To have a service inspection carried out, please submit the orthosis as well as the battery charger
and power supply unit to the O&P professional.
