GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is highly recommended that the user operates with the power off prior to setting swing and stance controls, but
always use caution when walking with the power off.
1. For maximum safety use handrail when descending stairs and ramps. Particular caution is required when
carrying children down stairs.
2. Improper handling or adjustment of the device may cause the stance control to malfunction, which can
increase the risk of fall.
3. Make sure that the user is able to recognize the auditory and/or vibratory signal for power loss.
4. When malfunctions occur or the power reaches critical levels, auditory and/or vibratory warnings alert the user.
If warning signals are detected, check if the knee can provide stance control. Engage the extension lock and
proceed to walk with caution.
5. If the device loses power, the knee loses its ability to provide stance support. In such cases it is recommended
to manually engage the integrated extension lock to lock the knee in full extension. The knee allows full weight
bearing when locked.
6. Avoid any impact to the socket, frame, adapter contact, or the interface panel on the back of the device.
Damage to this panel or any of its components may cause the product to malfunction (Figure 4).
7. The device may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from portable and mobile RF communications
devices such as mobile (cellular) telephones or other equipment, even if that other equipment complies with
CISPR EMISSION requirements.
