3.9.3 Pairing (Establishing the Communication between the C-Leg compact and Remote Control)

CAUTION
Fault while connecting the C-Leg compact and remote control (pairing). If several joints are present in
close proximity, this can result in unwanted connection of the remote control with another joint (pairing). This can
cause the patient to fall.
Given that only one joint may be paired with a remote control, it must be ensured that no other joint is in the circum-
ference of 3 m during the pairing.
INFORMATION
If the C-Leg compact still is in the delivery state, pairing is not required.
Pairing must be done
• as soon as a new remote control (replacement) is used with the C-Leg compact.
• if a switch cannot be effected with fully charged batteries (of both the joint and the remote control) within the work-
ing range of the remote control (30 – 70 cm).
• upon receipt of the remote control with a new battery.
Execution:
Briefly press the start button by poking a thin object (e.g. a paper clip) through the small hole of the remote control. The
joint will confirm the successful pairing with 5 short beep signals.

3.9.4 Changing the Battery of the Remote Control

CAUTION
Impermissible replacement of the battery of the remote control. Replacing the battery on your own initiative
can result in defects of the remote control. Malfunction and subsequent unexpected actions of the joint are then pos-
sible. This can cause the patient to fall.
The battery of the remote control may only be changed by an authorized Ottobock Service. The battery is automati-
cally replaced at the biennial service intervals.
To change a battery outside of the biennial service intervals, send the remote control to an authorized Ottobock Serv-
ice. Upon receipt of the remote control with a new battery, the remote control must be paired with the C-Leg compact
(see Section 2.9.3).

3.9.5 Switching between Compact Mode and Therapy Mode

Switching from the compact mode to the therapy mode and vice versa is made with the C-Soft adjustment software
(from version 2.0) and may only be carried out by an authorized prosthetist.

3.10 Finishing the Prosthesis

Upon finalizing all settings, all screws must be fastened and tightened to the proper torque.
