This section will describe how the E-MAG Active can be activated/deactivated and how it can

3.1 Charging the Battery

INFORMATION
Once the batery is fully charged, the E-MAG Active can be used for about 5,000 steps (which corre-
sponds to about 5 km or 3.1 miles). Nevertheless, we recommend you to recharge the battery daily
(preferably at night).
INFORMATION
In daily use, the charging time depends on the remaining capacity and maintenance of the battery.
The charger can charge two batteries at the same time.

The LEDs on the charger must not be illuminated prior to inserting the battery. If they are illuminated,
please submit the charger to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
To do so, plug the battery charger into a power outlet and insert the battery into the charger
(Fig. 1). One full charging cycle takes between 8 to 10 hours.
Place the charged battery into its receptacle; it should snap easily into the holder (Fig. 2).
