Remote Control - Ottobock C-Leg compact 3C96-1 Gebrauchsanweisung

6 Remote control
The C-Leg compact has two modes: The compact mode is intended for everyday use; in this mode,
an additional standing function can optionally be activated and deactivated with the remote control.
The therapy mode enlarges the field of application of the C-Leg compact and offers additional function-
ality for early mobilization after amputation. This mode allows to permanently lock the knee joint in full
extension. By pressing a button on the remote control, the joint can be unlocked, e.g. for sitting down.
INFORMATION
The mode can only be changed by a prosthetist with the C-Soft adjustment software.
CAUTION
Improper use of the remote control. When using the remote control, the functionality of the joint
changes. In certain situations, this can cause you to fall.
When using the remote control, you must always stand securely. Then carefully try, whether the desired
function has been activated.
CAUTION
Penetration of water in the remote control. The remote control is not waterproof. If water pen-
etrates the remote control, the device may become damaged (guaranty will become void). This can
lead to malfunction of the remote control, result in unexpected actions of the joint, and cause you to fall.
Should water have penetrated the remote control, the device should be dried at room temperature
for at least one day. Before starting to reuse the remote control, return it to an authorized Ottobock
Service for inspection. Your prosthetist is the contact person.
CAUTION
Manipulation on the remote control. Any changes or modifications you make to the remote
control on your own initiative can lead to malfunction and result in unexpected actions of the joint.
This can cause you to fall.
Any changes or modifications to the device may limit its use.
INFORMATION
Important user instructions on the use of the remote control. Keep the C-Leg compact and
the residual limb still (no bending or extending!).
For safety purposes, the working range of the remote control is limited to approximately 70 cm.
However, the remote control will only function properly if held at least 30 cm away from the joint. If
the activation/deactivation per remote control was not performed, ensure that the remote control is
placed between 30 cm and 70 cm of the C-Leg compact and repeat the command. If you are still
not successful, perform a pairing process (see Section "Pairing").
7 Modes and use of the remote control
7.1 Compact mode:
Upon delivery the knee joint is in the compact mode. If required, the joint can be locked or unlocked in
the flexion direction at a flexion angle between 0° and 30° (standing function) with the remote control.
For safety reasons, movement in the extension direction is always possible; in full extension position the
joint remains locked (locking function)
