Overheating Mode; Cleaning; Maintenance; Legal Information - Ottobock C-Leg 3C88-3 Gebrauchsanweisung

Safety mode can be disabled by connecting then disconnecting the battery charger. If the
product switches into safety mode again, this means a permanent error exists. The product must
be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.

9.4 Overheating mode

When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), damping is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the over­
heating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the damping settings
that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds.
When overheating mode is active, it is not possible to switch to a MyMode, display the current
battery charge level or change the prosthesis settings. In addition, the resistance in the flexion
direction is not reduced when the sitting function is active.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.

10 Cleaning

1) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g. Ottobock 453H10=1 Derma Clean)
when needed.
2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully.
