2 Safety Information

The caution symbol highlights safety information which must be followed
carefully.
Any changes in the performance or
function of the limb e.g. restricted
movement, non-smooth motion or
unusual noises should be immediately
reported to your service provider.
Always use a hand rail when descending
stairs and at any other time if available.
Any excessive changes in heel height
after programming will adversely affect
limb function and should be immediately
reported to your service provider for
reprogramming and calibration.
After continuous use the ankle and knee
casing may become hot to the touch.
Avoid strong magnetic fields, sources
of electrical interference, atmospheres
containing liquids and/or powders.
Do not place near any heat source. Do not
leave in direct sunshine or inside a car in
hot weather.
The device is not intended for use
when immersed in water or as a shower
prosthesis. If the limb comes into contact
with water wipe dry immediately.
Before connecting the battery charger
to the device, ensure that the magnetic
mating surfaces of the charging connector
and charging terminal are clean, dry
and free of any debris or conductive
materials that could prevent correct
charging operation. (See further warnings
in Section 6.1 and cleaning advice in
Section 4).
Never connect the charger to the device
while still wearing the limb.
The device is not suitable for extreme
sports, running or cycle racing, ice and
snow sports, extreme slopes and steps.
Any such activities undertaken are done
so completely at the users' own risk.
Recreational cycling is acceptable.
Be aware of finger trap hazard at all times.
Contact your service provider for advice if
the device is to be used with a pacemaker
or any other electronic medical device.
Assembly, programming, maintenance
and repair of the device must only be
carried out by a suitably qualified clinician
that has attended an approved training
course.
The user must not adjust or tamper with
the setup of the device.
The user should be advised to contact
their clinician if their condition changes.
The device detects standing and walking
on inclines, declines and walking
at various speeds. Non-identified
movements may cause unexpected
behaviour.
Only charge the batteries in the device
using the charger supplied with the
product. Do not use this charger for
charging anything else.
Ensure only suitably retrofitted vehicles
are used when driving. All persons are
required to observe their respective
driving laws when operating motor
vehicles.
Make sure that no liquids enter the device
during donning or normal use.
The charging connector and terminal are
sources of strong magnetic fields. Always
keep a safe distance (at least 10 cm)
between these magnets and all objects
that can be damaged or affected by
magnetism (such as watches, pacemakers,
credit cards, or any magnetically stored
media).
To minimise the risk of slipping and
tripping, appropriate footwear that fits
securely onto the footshell must be used
at all times.
