The Power button is the only user input that can
activate the system.
If there is no fault with the system, the Status
indicator (through the Power button) will light up
green, and the Battery Gauge will display the current
battery status
.
Power OFF
If there is a fault with the system when powering up,
the status indicator will indicate the fault with a series
of red flashes. If the fault is one that prevents the
system from driving, then the battery gauge will flash
continuously.

Emergency stop
If the user needs to stop the wheelchair quickly, the Power button
can be pressed to perform an EMERGENCY STOP. The wheelchair
will come to a halt quickly; the rate is set by the Emergency
Deceleration parameter.
●
Drive inhibit indication
Drive inhibit mode is indicated by the
battery gauge with a right-to-left chase
sequence.
The chase sequence starts with the green
LED on the right- hand side, and one-by-
one, each LED will switch on and then off.
When the sequence completes at the left-
most red LED, it begins again at the right-
hand side.
The chase sequence continues until the
error condition has been cleared.
●
OONAPU
OONAPU (“
Out Of Neutral At Power Up
”) is a safety feature
that prevents accidental movement of the wheelchair, either
when powering up, or when the wheelchair comes out of an
inhibit state.
If the System is turned on (or comes out of an inhibit state) while
the joystick is not in the center position, an OONAPU
warning
is
displayed. During an OONAPU warning, the battery gauge LEDs
will flash continually to alert the user, and the chair will not drive.
If the joystick is returned to the center position within five
seconds, the warning will clear and the wheelchair will drive
normally.
