On/OFF button
The ON/OFF button switches wheelchair
power on and off. When wheelchair power
is on, the battery indicator illuminates.
Battery indicator
The three-color (green, yellow and red)
battery indicator illuminates when wheel-
chair power is on. The battery indicator
shows the charge level of the batteries. As
the batteries discharge, the lights go off
from green to red, similarly to an automobile's gas gauge (all lights on = full). When the
batteries are nearly discharged, only the red lights will illuminate. When one red light
flashes slowly, charge batteries immediately. When you switch wheelchair power on, the
battery indicator shows an estimate of the remaining battery charge (the reading will
be more accurate about a minute after you start driving the wheelchair). The battery
indicator also provides a diagnostics display when wheelchair control system problems
occur. See TROUBLESHOOTING for a description of the battery indicator diagnostics.
Maximum speed / profile indicator
This 5-segment display indicates the maximum speed setting or which drive profile is
selected, if drive profiles have been programmed.
Horn button
This button operates the wheelchair's horn.
Speed / profile decrease button
This button decreases the maximum speed setting or selects a lower drive profile, if
drive profiles have been programmed.
Speed profile increase button
This button increases the maximum speed setting or selects a higher drive profile, if
drive profiles have been programmed.
BAttERIEs
Please see Section VII, BATTERIES, which also describes the battery charger included
with your Everest Lite. Charge the batteries fully before operating your wheelchair. For
installation and charging information, refer to Section VII, BATTERIES.
CIRCuIt BREAkER
Your Everest Lite is equipped with a circuit breaker to pro-
tect the electrical circuits from overload. It is located in the
left rear cowl, as shown at right. In the event of an overload,
the circuit breaker button will pop out. To reset the circuit
breaker, push the button in.
