Attachment Of The Remote Control - Ottobock C-Leg compact 3C96-1 Gebrauchsanweisung

Operating the remote control at a flexion angle larger than 30° exclusively activates the locking function:
INFORMATION
The joint automatically locks once full extension is reached.
To deactivate the standing or locking function:
Again press the remote control button for 2 seconds. One long beep sound and one vibration signal follow to confirm
unlocking.
The standing function can only be activated and deactivated, when the knee joint is kept still during opera-
INFORMATION
tion of the remote control.
If the standing or locking function has been activated and the remote control is defective or the battery is
INFORMATION
empty, the knee joint can be unlocked by connecting the battery charger to the C-Leg compact. This works only in the
compact mode.
Therapy mode:
The therapy mode can be activated in the C-Soft adjustment software (from version 2.0). Once activated, the joint is
locked in full extension, for example for therapeutic applications for early mobilization after amputation. If required, the
joint can be unlocked with the remote control (e.g. for sitting down). The hydraulic damping of the system supports the
prosthesis wearer when sitting down or standing up. The prosthesis can be loaded.
To unlock the knee joint:
Press the remote control button for 2 seconds (the joint emits 2 beep sounds at intervals of one second). One long beep
sound and one vibration signal follow to confirm unlocking. Now the knee joint is unlocked and can be flexed, e.g. for
sitting down (Fig. 1). The joint remains in stance phase damping until it is brought into extension again.
As soon as the knee angle during extension is less than 7°, the joint automatically activates the lock in the flexion direc-
tion. This is confirmed by 2 long beep sounds and 2 vibration signals (Fig. 2).
If the knee joint is not flexed more than 7° within 7 seconds after unlocking, it automatically locks again for
INFORMATION
safety reasons. During this period, the remote control cannot be used.

1 attached to a key lanyard (Fig. 1);
2 attached to the belt of the prosthesis wearer with a clip (Fig. 2); or
