6.4 Safety Shutoff
The purpose of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system safety shutoff is to protect the battery; it is
triggered in case of:

• Overvoltage or undervoltage
• Short circuit
After a short circuit, the charging plug must be plugged into the charging receptacle and then
unplugged in order for the electronics to be activated.
7 Use
7.1 Switching the Axon-Bus prosthesis system on and off
INFORMATION
Switching off the Axon-Bus prosthetic system during extended passive pauses (e.g. air or rail
travel, visit to a theatre or cinema, etc.) will make the battery last longer before requiring a
recharge. Only the entire Axon-Bus prosthetic system with all connected components can be
switched off. Individual Axon-Bus components cannot be switched off separately.
7.2 Opening the Axon-Bus gripping component in an emergency
The product is switched on and off by pressing the button in the char­
ging receptacle on the outside of the socket.
This safety function allows the Axon-Bus gripping component to be
opened regardless of the control signals present.
1) With the Axon-Bus prosthetic system switched on, press the char­
ging receptacle button and hold for approximately three seconds
until the Axon-Bus gripping component begins to open.
→ A pulsating beep sounds as it opens.
2) Releasing the button immediately stops the process of opening
the Axon-Bus gripping component and turns the entire Axon-Bus
prosthetic system off.
