Standing Mode Function in the 1st Mode

CAUTION
Improper configuration of the standing mode functionality. When trying to configure the standing mode
while the you are standing, unwanted switching can cause you to fall. Turning the standing mode function
on requires that the 1st mode has been activated. For safety purposes, you must sit with a fully flexed joint
for this configuration. After the beeps, check whether the joint is still in the 1st mode.
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. The ability of leg prosthesis users to drive a motor vehicle
is determined on a case-by-case basis. Criteria include the type of fitting (amputation level, unilateral or
bilateral, residual limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and the amputee's individual abilities. All per-
sons are required to observe their country's national and state driving laws when operating motor vehicles.
For insurance purposes, drivers of motor vehicles should have their driving ability examined and approved
by an authorized test centre. Otto Bock recommends that the motor vehicle be professionally retrofitted
to the user's individual needs (e.g. automatic shift). Risk-free driving must be ensured even when the leg
prosthesis is not functioning.
Before operating a motor vehicle, make sure to turn off the standing mode feature using the remote control unit.
