13. Turn on the power at the display. Test the terminal device
and ensure the unit is fully charged with the magnetic
charger supplied, prior to providing to the user.
10. Feed the full system through the forearm, and pull
the display through so it exits the forearm through the
mounting frame hole. If a bend is required to allow the
ribbon cable to run along the forearm, carefully fold it at
a minimum distance of 5mm from the display. Use the
extension cable, if required, to ensure that the cable is
not strained (with extra care required at the joint with the
display).
11. Secure the system inside the forearm using hook and
loop fasteners or similar to prevent movement of the
components and damage to the cables.
12. Sit the display flat on top of the mounting frame and
push the corners of the display until it clicks into place.
The front of the display should sit flush with the mounting
frame and the whole unit should feel secure in the
forearm.
• Press the four corners of the S-Charge display to
gently push it into position - do not exert any pressure
onto the display screen.
• Fitting and maintenance should be conducted in a
clean, dry environment and care should be taken to
not subject the system to Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD).
• Ensure that
the fitting process is conducted by a
qualified technician.
• Ensure that all components are plugged in securely
and that cables are not over-strained.
• Ensure that the unit is fully charged prior to providing
to the user and supply the accompanying user guide.
• The hub can only accommodate one 3500S battery
pack.
• We recommend the system is charged each night so
that a regular charging pattern is established and the
user starts each day with a fully charged battery.
• Lamination dummies are provided to aid manufacture
of the prosthesis.
• During charging, the surface of the hub will exhibit
an increase in temperature. This is a normal operation
and does not signify a fault. The hub must be
positioned to avoid any direct contact with the
residual limb. The prosthesis should not be worn
during charging, and has a fail-safe fitted to disable
the hand and prevent it from operating when the
battery is being charged.
• If the battery is in storage it should be charged at
least once every six months.
