1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Hy5 as your prosthesis supplier. This
manual along with the training and support of your clinical team
will help you take full advantage of your MyHand. This manual
contains important information for the correct use of MyHand.
For instruction videos please visit our website www.hy5.no.
Read this document thoroughly before using your MyHand.
MyHand is a size 7 ¾ and requires a socket with a female electric
quick disconnect, a 5A battery and one or two myo-sensors to
work. MyHand is connected to the socket with the quick discon-
nect. A MySkin glove size 7 ¾ shall be used on the MyHand at all
times.
MyHand is intended for any individual adult with a hand amputa-
tion or dysmelia, to regain independence in their daily social and
work life, helping to perform everyday activities that able-bodied
individuals take for granted. The size of the MyHand is equal to
a male size 7 ¾. Despite the size, MyHand can be used by both
genders independent of height, weight, and age.
Prior to use, please download the Hy5 app that is available in
either iOS or Anroid formats.
MyHand has a unique serial
number on the wrist, to allow easy
identication.

2. USE & CARE
MyHand is ready to be used when connected to your prosthetic
socket. Secure connection is achived by pushing MyHand on to
the socket, by twisting your MyHand 45-degrees in either direc-
tion. Adjustments of the myo sensors may be needed to get full
functionality of the MyHand. Your prosthesis provider will help
you with this if needed. To get the most from the MyHand, make
sure your socket and hand are comfortable and secure.
Your socket must include a Hy5 recommend-
ed or supplied battery to function optimally.
If you experience unintentional behaviour or
MyHand does not work as expected, take off
your MyHand and contact your clinician.
2.2 Electric Quick Disconnect
There is currently one wrist option for the
MyHand; the standard Electric Quick Discon-
nect (EQD). The EQD allows the hand to be
moved through a 360 degree rotating action.
Pressing and holding down the button for approximately 2 sec-
onds will switch the hand ON. A short movement of the ngers
will occur, to give you a physical indication that the hand is turned
ON. Pressing and holding down the button again for approxi-
mately 2 seconds will switch the hand OFF. Pressing the same but-
ton quickly three times in succession will turn ON the AutoGrasp
function on your MyHand. Repeat to turn the function OFF.
