2.10 Pairing of the Remote Control and Battery Change
INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
2.10.1 Pairing
CAUTION
Fault while connecting the C-Leg® 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 cir-
cumference of 3 m during the pairing.
INFORMATION
If the C-Leg® still is in the delivery state, pairing is not required.
Pairing serves to permanently connect a C-Leg® to a remote control. Pairing is done
• as soon as a new remote control (replacement) is used with the C-Leg®.
• if a configuration or mode switch cannot be effected with fully charged batteries of the joint and the remote con-
trol within the working range of the remote control (1 m).
For pairing, the following switching procedures with the remote control have been determined:

2.10.2 Battery Change
CAUTION
Impermissible replacement of the battery of the remote control. Replacing the battery on your own initia-
tive can result in defects of the remote control. Malfunction and subsequent unexpected actions of the joint are
then possible. This can cause the patient to fall.
• The battery of the remote control may only be changed by an authorized Otto Bock Service Centre. The bat-
tery is automatically replaced at the biennial service intervals.
• To change a battery outside of the biennial service intervals, send the remote control to an authorized Otto
Bock Service. Upon receipt of the remote control with a new battery, the remote control must be paired with
the C-Leg® (see Section 2.10.1).
1 Distance between the remote control and C-Leg®: Hold the remote control at
a distance of 30 to 100 cm to the joint.
2 Pairing between the remote control and C-Leg®: Briefly press the start but-
ton by poking a thin object (e.g. a paper clip) through the small hole of the remote
control (Fig. 1).
3 Signals: The joint will confirm the successful pairing with 5 short beep signals.
