Ottobock C-Leg 3C98-2 Information Für Träger Seite 30

The C-Leg confirms the switching and changes to the respective other mode:
3
• Activation of the 2nd mode = 2 short beep signals (joint changes from 1st mode to 2nd mode)
• Activation of the 1st mode = 1 short beep signal (joint changes from 2nd mode to 1st mode)
Switching between 1st and 3rd modes without the remote control:
3 × in 1 second
1 While maintaining contact with the ground, bounce on the heel at least 3 × within a second. During this
process, at least 70 % of the maximum heel load must be placed on the foot. When the load is reduced,
the minimum value must not be less than 15 % of the maximum heel load. A beep signal sounds.
2 Take weight off the leg for at least one second.
3 The C-Leg confirms the switching process and switches to the other mode:
• Activating 3rd mode = 3 short beeps (joint switches from 1st mode into 3rd mode)
• Activating 1st mode = 1 short beep (joint switches from 3rd mode into 1st mode)
Standing Mode Function in the 1st Mode
CAUTION
Improper configuration of the standing mode functionality. When trying to configure the standing mode
while the you are standing, unwanted switching can cause you to fall. Turning the standing mode function
on requires that the 1st mode has been activated. For safety purposes, you must sit with a fully flexed joint
for this configuration. After the beeps, check whether the joint is still in the 1st mode.
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. The ability of leg prosthesis users to drive a motor vehicle
is determined on a case-by-case basis. Criteria include the type of fitting (amputation level, unilateral or
bilateral, residual limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and the amputee's individual abilities. All per-
sons are required to observe their country's national and state driving laws when operating motor vehicles.
For insurance purposes, drivers of motor vehicles should have their driving ability examined and approved
by an authorized test centre. Otto Bock recommends that the motor vehicle be professionally retrofitted
to the user's individual needs (e.g. automatic shift). Risk-free driving must be ensured even when the leg
prosthesis is not functioning.
Before operating a motor vehicle, make sure to turn off the standing mode feature using the remote control unit.
