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 prox-
imity, 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 (70 cm).
For pairing, the following switching procedures with the remote control have been determined:
Performing the pairing (matching the C-Leg to the remote control)

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 Ottobock Service Centre.
• To replace the batteries outside of the prescribed service intervals, send the remote control to the authorised
Ottobock 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).

control (Fig. 1).
