Otto Bock C-Brace - Additional Operating States (Modes); Empty Battery Mode; Charging Mode

1) Press and hold the lower button ( ).
→ A long beep signal is emitted.
2) Take weight off the leg and keep it still for approx. 1second.
→ Two short beep signals sound to indicate successful switching to the additional mode (2nd mode).
INFORMATION: If four beep signals sound, the weight was not taken off the leg correctly or for
long enough. Repeat the process to correctly switch to the desired mode.
9.4.3 Activating LOM
From basic mode (1st mode) to LOM:
► Briefly press the lower button ( ) twice.
→ Three short beep signals are emitted.
→ The product has successfully switched to LOM.
From additional mode (2nd mode) to LOM:
1) Briefly press the lower button ( ) twice.
→ A long beep signal is emitted.
2) Take weight off the leg .
→ Three short beep signals are emitted.
→ The product has successfully switched to LOM.
INFORMATION
LOM is automatically deactivated by switching to basic mode (1st mode) or the additional mode (2nd mode).
9.4.4 Switching from an additional mode back to basic mode
1) Press and hold the upper button ( ).
→ A long beep signal is emitted.
2) Take weight off the leg and keep it still for approx. 1second.

long enough. Repeat the process to correctly switch to the desired mode.
10 Additional operating states (modes)
10.1 Empty battery mode
CAUTION
Danger when empty battery mode is activated
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of changed damping behaviour.
► Inform the patient of the configured damping behaviour in empty battery mode ("high damping" = high
safety/reduced comfort or "low damping" = less safety/higher activity).
► For the "low damping" setting in empty battery mode, the patient must have the necessary muscular and cog
nitive abilities to control a freely moving knee joint without stance phase stability.
► You can switch back to basic mode from empty battery mode by charging the product.
► Observe the error signals (see Page82).
Beep signals sound if the available battery charge level is less than 1% (see Page82). Then damping is set to the
value that was configured in the parameter 'Damping in empty battery mode’ of the adjustment software. This para
meter should be chosen with the setting 'high' (stance phase damping value) in order to ensure a secure stance
when the battery is drained. You can switch back to basic mode (1st mode) from empty battery mode by charging
the product.
10.2 Mode for charging the product
The product is non-functional during charging.
To switch to basic mode, the battery charger for the product must be disconnected after the battery is charged.
