Check Battery Charge Level
Press and release the Battery Button once to check battery charge level.
Indicator lights will illuminate briey displaying the charge level. The table
below describes the indicator lights when the Kinnex ankle is discharging
(not plugged in).
While charging (plugged in), the indicator light ashes at a rate that
indicates the amount of charge in the battery. The longer the light stays
illuminated during the ash, the higher the charge. Once the ankle is
completely charged, the indicator light will be solid green.
Change Footwear
The Change Footwear Button allows adjusting to changes in footwear.
To change footwear follow these steps:
1. Don your Kinnex ankle with the new footwear.
2. Press and hold the Change Footwear Button until the indicator light in
the button begins to ash white.
3. Once the white indicator light begins to ash, stand up straight with
your feet shoulder width apart.
4. Remain still until the white indicator light stops ashing. This usually
takes less than 5 seconds.
