MC ETD2
User Guide
Introduction
The Motion Control ETD2 marks the second generation of the Electric Terminal Device. Continuing the
features of the previous ETD, the ETD2 is robust, lightweight and water-resistant to provide a high level of
functionality to persons with upper extremity limb loss.
The ETD2 is manufactured with metal inserts in the ngers, over molded with plastic for strength and
durability. The result is a sleek, aesthetically integrated form. The Gripping Pads can be quickly and easily
replaced by your prosthetist. The safety release allows the ngers to be opened in case of emergency.
The ETD2 is a member of the ProPlus Family of Motion Control devices. The ProPlus on-board
microprocessor makes the ETD2 interchangeable with almost all other hands and terminal devices on the
market. Additionally, the on-board microprocessor allows use of a brushless DC motor which makes your
device quieter and much more dependable.
Bluetooth®provides convenient communication between your ETD2 and an iPhone®, iPad®or iPod®
Touch. This allows easy adjustability for your Prosthetist to get the highest level of performance and ne
control of your ETD2. Additionally, you can communicate with your ETD2 to make several changes to the
device, and use it for training to improve your control.

The MC ETD2 is water-resistant, not waterproof
While the Motion Control ETD2 is water-resistant, the quick disconnect wrist is not. Do not
submerse the ETD2 beyond the wrist..
Flammable Gases
Caution should be used when operating the ETD2 around ammable gases. The ETD2 utilizes an
electric motor that can ignite volatile gases.
Do not bend ngers
While the MC ETD2 is robust, body weight represents a great deal of force. Do not apply full body
weight on the ngers. A fall with the force directed to the ngers could cause damage. Additionally,
when pushing forcefully with the ETD2 do not push on the open, moveable nger. Push only with
the ETD2 in the closed position. This includes pushing up from a chair. If the ngers do become
bent or out of alignment, return the ETD2 to Motion Control.
Safety Release
Do not force the ETD2 ngers opened or closed. This will result in serious damage to the device.
The safety release will allow easy opening and closing of the ETD2. If the release mechanism does
not allow motion, the device requires service by Motion Control.
Repairs or Alterations
Do not attempt to repair or alter any of the mechanical or electronic components of the MC ETD2.
This will likely cause damage, additional repairs and void the warranty.
Setup Using the User Interface
While the default settings in the MC ETD2 may allow the patient to operate the system, it is highly
recommended the prosthetist utilize the User Interface to customize the settings for the wearer.
Power Switch
The power switch is located
at the base of the ETD2.
Pushing from the side
opposite the ngertips will
turn the ETD2 ON. Pushing
from the ngertip side will
turn the ETD2 OFF.
Safety Caution
Use caution when using this device in situations where injury to yourself or others may occur. These
include, but are not limited to, activities such as driving, operating heavy machinery, or any activity where
injury may occur. Conditions such as a low or dead battery, loss of electrode contact, or mechanical/
electrical malfunction (and others) may cause the device to behave dierently than expected.

Quick Disconnect Wrist
The Quick Disconnect wrist is a universal design that allows interchangeability with our other terminal
devices, such as the MC ProPlus Hand, and other manufacturers’ devices.
Finger Lining Replacement
The gripping surfaces on the ngers of the ETD2 can be replaced. This replacement should be performed
by your prosthetist.
Instructions for Use
Before attaching the MC ETD2 to the forearm, locate the power switch at the base of the ETD2. Ensure it
is switched OFF (see diagram, page 3).
Insert the quick disconnect wrist on the ETD2 into the wrist on the forearm. While pushing it in rmly,
rotate the ETD2 until an audible click is heard. It is advisable to rotate the ETD2 both directions several
clicks, then attempt to pull the ETD2 o to ensure it has attached rmly.
Now, push the power switch in the opposite direction and the ETD2 is ON and ready for use.
To disconnect the ETD2, rst turn it OFF, then rotate it either direction until a slightly more dicult click is
felt. Overcoming this click will disconnect the ETD2 from the forearm. This allows interchangeability with
another terminal device, such as the MC ProPlus Hand.
Safety Release
On a Left ETD2, the safety release is located on the same side as the
ngertips. On a Right ETD2, the safety release is located on the side
opposite the ngertips.
To engage the ngers, ensure the safety release lever points toward
the ngertips. To release the ngers, rotate the lever 90 degrees,
toward the moveable nger.
SAFETY RELEASE
User Interface Adjustments
Each of the ProPlus family of Motion Control
products contains a microprocessor that can
be adjusted and set for a specic individual’s
needs. Wearers without EMG signals can also be
accommodated, but some additional hardware
may be necessary. The software necessary
to make these adjustments is provided at no
charge to the prosthetist or end user.
iOS User Interface
The MC ETD2 communicates via Bluetooth®
directly with Apple® iOS devices. The MCUI app
is available at no charge from the Apple®App
Store*. No additional hardware or adapters are
necessary with the iOS Interface.
Instructions for loading the MCUI application
onto your Apple®device, and pairing the device
using Bluetooth®, can be found on page 8.

Patient/Prosthetist Controls
Upon opening the iOS Application you will be asked “Patient” or “Prosthetist” – select “Patient”. While you
as a patient are allowed to navigate the entire application, many of the adjustments are “grayed out” as
those can only be changed by your prosthetist.
However, you are still able to see the strength of your EMG, or other input signals, to allow you to
exercise those muscles.
Additionally, you may change any adjustments that are not “grayed out”. These include such settings as
buzzers, and several of the FLAG adjustments (FLAG is an optional feature).
User Proles
You are able to save your prole in the User Prole section of the iOS User Interface. It is advisable to
save your prole on your device, and your prosthetist is advised to save it on his, also. This will provide a
backup in case any repairs or rmware updates are required.
The rst time the application is opened, a tutorial is oered. This overview will take 10 to 15 minutes and is
recommended. Additionally, located throughout the application is a context-sensitive information icon.
Tapping this icon will briey explain the function of that adjustment.
*Note: The MCUI app is not available for Android devices.
Auto-Cal
Auto-Cal is a feature on every ProPlus device. Use Auto-
Cal only at the direction of your prosthetist. Triggering an
Auto-Cal event will likely cause loss of the settings your
prosthetist has programmed into your device.
If your prosthetist has instructed you in the use of Auto-
Cal, you can trigger an Auto-Cal event by tapping the icon
at “Start Calibration”, then give moderate open and close
signals for 7 seconds. The iOS device will prompt you. It
is important you make these moderate signals, as too
strong a signal will result in the device running slowly.
Too weak a signal will result in a device that is dicult to
control.
After “Auto-Cal Calibration” you will be asked if you like
these settings. Try opening and closing quickly and then
attempt lightly grasping objects. If you are able to do
both, accept the calibration. If you do not have adequate
control, tap “Retry”.
Note: When you accept Auto-Cal settings, your previous settings are lost. If your prosthetist has set up
custom settings, do not trigger Auto-Cal calibration.

FLAG (Optional)
FLAG (Force Limiting, Auto Grasp) is an optional feature for the MC ProPlus Hand, ETD and ETD2 terminal
devices. FLAG provides two functions:
• Force Limiting, to prevent crushing objects due to excessive pinch force
• Auto Grasp, which slightly increases the grip on an object if an inadvertent open signal is detected by
the controller
Turn FLAG On/O
Upon power up, FLAG is turned o. The TD should be closed, then opened, before using FLAG. To turn
FLAG on, give the device a “Hold Open” signal (for ~ 3 sec.)**. When FLAG turns on, the wearer will feel
one long vibration. A “Hold Open” signal (for ~ 3 sec.)** will turn FLAG o, and two short vibrations
will be felt by the wearer.
Note: If a series of 5 vibrations is felt upon a “Hold Open”, it could indicate a malfunction in the FLAG sensor.
Turn the device o, and back on, then completely open and completely close the device. Retry the “Hold
Open” signal to activate FLAG. If 5 vibrations are felt again, the device will still function but FLAG will be
disabled. The device must be returned to Motion Control for the FLAG sensor to be repaired.
Dual Channel FLAG
Force Limiting
1. With FLAG on, closing is still proportional, with maximum speed lowered by 50%**.
2. On closing, when the ngers contact an object, force will be limited to ~ 2 lbs/9N of grip force –
then the wearer feels one short vibration.
3. To increase force, the wearer relaxes below threshold, followed by a strong close signal** for a
short eort** and the grip force “pulses” up.
4. Grip force can be pulsed up to 10 times to a maximum of ~ 18 lbs/80N of pinch force**.
5. An open signal will open the terminal device proportionally.
Auto Grasp
With FLAG on, a quick, inadvertent opening signal will result in a single “pulse” increase in grip force
to prevent dropping an object.**
Single Channel FLAG
With Single Channel Control, FLAG is best used in Alternating Direction Control Mode.
Force Limiting
1. With FLAG on, the terminal device will close at approximately 50% speed**, proportionally.
2. When the device contacts an object, force will be limited to ~ 2 lbs/9N.
3. A quick and strong signal** above the threshold, then relaxation below the threshold, will create
one pulse in the force**.
4. This can be repeated up to 10 times for ~ 18 lbs/80N of pinch force.
5. A sustained signal of about 1 second will open the terminal device.
Auto Grasp
With FLAG on, any quick, inadvertent signal will result in the terminal device closing, preventing the
object from being dropped.
**Note: These settings are adjustable in the iOS MCUI application
