8.2.3 Switching MyModes using motion patterns
INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
Information on switching
•
Switching and the number of motion patterns must be activated by the prosthetist in the
adjustment software.
•
Before the first step, always check whether the selected mode corresponds to the required
motion type.
Requirements for successful switching using motion patterns
The following points must be observed to carry out switching successfully:
•
Switching using movement patterns has to be enabled by the prosthetist.
•
Position the prosthetic leg back slightly and bounce on the forefoot with the leg extended
while maintaining constant contact with the floor.
•
Weight must be placed on the forefoot while bouncing.
•
The load may not be taken off the foot fully when relieving the load.

ð
1) Position the prosthetic leg back slightly.
2) While maintaining constant contact with the floor, bounce on the forefoot with the leg exten
ded a number of times in one second depending on the desired MyMode (MyMode 1 = 3
times, MyMode 2 = 4 times).
3) Keep the prosthetic leg still in this position with no load.
→ A beep and vibration signal will sound to confirm that the movement pattern has been
recognised.
INFORMATION: If this beep and vibration signal does not sound, the requirements
were not observed when bouncing the foot or mute mode (silent mode) is activ
ated. For more information about mute mode, see the section "Mute mode" (see
Page 80).
4) After the beep and vibration signal sounds, keep the prosthetic leg extended and still for 1
second.
→ A confirmation signal will sound to indicate that the prosthesis has successfully switched to
the corresponding MyMode (2 times = MyMode 1, 3 times = MyMode 2).
INFORMATION: If this confirmation signal does not sound, the leg with the prosthesis
was not correctly kept still or mute mode (silent mode) is activated. Repeat the pro
cess to correctly switch to the required mode. For more information about mute mode,
see the section "Mute mode" (see Page 80).
8.2.4 Switching from a MyMode back to basic mode
Information on switching
•
Regardless of the configuration of additional MyModes in the adjustment software, it is always
possible to switch back to basic mode (mode 1) with a motion pattern.
•
It is always possible to switch back to basic mode (mode 1) by connecting/disconnecting the
battery charger.
