Battery capacity
During normal operation in the 1st and 2nd modes, the battery capacity is indicated with different vibration signals:
Battery capacity
Approx. 1 hour of operation remains
Approx. 30 min. of operation remains
When turning off
Safety signal for incorrect connection to the tube adapter
CAUTION
Safety signal occurs. The safety signal indicates an error of the joint. When in this condition, malfunctions can
occur. This can cause the patient to fall.
In the event such a safety warning occurs, stop all activities with the C-Leg® and resolve the error by properly
connecting the tube adapter (to be performed by your prosthetist or a service technician). Insofar as a contact
failure has occured between the plug of the tube adapter and the C-Leg® (e.g. following the fitting by the pros-
thetist), send the knee joint (incl. tube adapter) to an authorized Otto Bock Service Centre.
As soon as the tube adapter has no connection when the C-Leg® is in operation (i.e. 1st, 2nd or standing mode
with sufficient battery capacity), the C-Leg® emits short beeps and, for the duration of approximately five minutes,
slowly pulsing vibration signals. The C-Leg® will activate the stance phase damping and maintain it until the tube
adapter cable is correctly attached (provided the battery capacity remains sufficient).
Ventilation
Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the C-Leg® is not stored in an upright position. This is noticeable through
sounds and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic ventilation mechanism ensures that all functions of the C-Leg® are again intact after approximately
10 - 20 steps.
