4.1.3 Auto-calibration
INFORMATION
Auto-calibration requires the battery to be removed and reinserted after the test mode.
The purpose of auto-calibration is to adjust the electronics to the respective gait pattern of the patient. The settings
are independent from the position of the electronics on the orthosis, the design of the orthosis and the fitting side
of the patient. We recommend installing the electronics in the vicinity of the hip and the load line (i.e. vertical to the
load) in all cases. This allows the patient to easily switch the orthosis functions from the inside of the trouser pock­
et.

4.1.5 Auto-calibration adjustment
The electronics need to be calibrated prior to initial use on the patient. Once the settings have been successfully
established for the patient, the calibration process does not have to be repeated. However, calibration may be
repeated at any time if the patient's gait pattern changes (see fig. 45).
Calibration process:
1) During initial use, the patient should stand between parallel bars in order to ensure safety at all times.
2) The orthopaedic technician removes the battery and reinserts it. Now the technician activates calibration mode
by pushing and holding the auto-calibrate button (see Page ) until a tone and light signal are emitted.
