NOTE
• If the joystick is tilted when you turn the power switch ON, a safety device is engaged to prevent the wheelchair from moving. In this case,
the buzzer will beep “Pi —”, and the power lamp (green) will flash. Similarly, the wheelchair will not move if you tilt the joystick before
the power lamp (green) lights.
• If the power switch of the assistant controller (optional) is turned ON, the controller will not turn on. In this case, turn OFF the power
switches of both controllers, and turn on the power of the controller.
• If the warning lamp is flashing or lighted, it means that the battery has run down. Replace the battery before you operate the wheelchair.
WARNING
If the controller is mounted on the tilt-up arm, never raise the arm support with the power switch turned ON.
Also, never turn the power switch ON with the arm support raised. There is a risk of moving the joystick, which may
cause the wheelchair to move in an unintended direction.
