CAUTION
Overheating of drive unit. Continuous use of the DynamicArm over a longer period of time (e.g. fre-
quent lifting and lowering) can lead to overheating of the drive unit. Touching overheated components
can result in painful situations. Particular caution should be exercised during use by patients having skin
with decreased heat sensitivity.
In case of overheating the performance of the DynamicArm is impaired and the full lifting force can no
longer be utilised. The activities must be discontinued until the drive unit has cooled. After cooling the full
functionality is restored.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching where the elbow joint bends. Ensure that fingers and other body parts are not in
this area when bending the elbow joint.
WARNING
Operating the product near active implanted systems
When operating the product, there is a risk of temporary influences of active implantable systems (e.g.
pacemakers, defibrillators etc.) because of electromagnetic interference of the product.
• When operating the product in the immediate vicinity of active implantable systems, ensure that the
minimum distances stipulated by the manufacturer of the implant are observed.
• Make sure to observe any operating conditions and safety instructions stipulated by the manufacturer
of the implant.
2 Instructions for use
The DynamicArm is a myoelectrically controlled and electric motor driven elbow joint for the fitting of above-
elbow amputees of different amputation levels. In combination with other Ottobock prosthetic components
such as the Electric Wrist Rotator, System Electric Hand or System Electric Greifer, it helps the wearer to
perform everyday tasks.

2.1 On / Off switch

Your DynamicArm features an On / Off switch, which must be
pressed for turning the DynamicArm on and off. The DynamicArm
confirms turning on with a sound signal and a single, short vib-
ration.
When should the On / Off switch be used?
The On/Off switch should be used, when a certain position may
be maintained for a longer time. This will make the battery's ca-
pacity last longer. It is therefore advantageous to turn the DynamicArm off during longer periods of passive
use (e. g. air or train journey, visit to a theater or cinema, etc.).
