6 - CONTROL PaNEL

6.1  Control Panel Overview

The control-panel components are (Figure 16):

● 

Brake Button 

- The symbol on this button is a “Stop 

Sign” with a slash through it 

.

● 

Indicator Light 

- The light is illuminated red, green, 

or is not illuminated to provide feedback to the user.

● 

Mode Button 

- The symbol on this button is the Ferno 

“FW” logo 

.

● 

Display 

- The liquid-crystal display provides informa-

tion about a variety of chair functions, including 

battery charge, battery status, brake status, calibration 

and setting information, and more.

SOFTWaRE VERSiONS

The information displayed varies depending on the software 

installed in the motor and control panel.

The  software  version  is  displayed  briefly  during  the 

calibration procedure (see 

Calibrating the Paddles, 

page 

42). Be aware that you will need to calibrate the paddles to 

exit this mode.

WiRELESS CONNECTiON

Each time the power switch is pressed ON, the motor must 

make a wireless connection with the control panel.

1.  Press the power switch  . The motor will beep every 

five  seconds  until  it 

locates and connects with 

the control panel, or until you press 

.

2.  Tap a paddle in either direction. The control panel 

awakens and attempts to connect with the motor.

3.  When the components link, the motor emits three 

beeps. The display shows the standard screen 

indicating the status of the Main Battery. If there is 

sufficient power, the brake is engaged.
If the link fails, the control panel briefly displays the 

text, “MASTER not found!” (Figure 17). After this, 

the control panel will go to sleep.

Control Panel

If the text, “MASTER not found!” is displayed, the motor 

cannot locate the control panel. Do the following:

● 

Connect a charged main battery (page 15).

● 

Press the power switch   (page 17).

● 

If these solutions don’t work, attach the 

interconnect cord (page 41).

Non-Wireless Connection

As an option, the interconnect cord (provided) 

may be permanently connected to the control 

panel and motor. In this state, the control 

panel does not need to connect wirelessly to 

the controller. See 

Interconnect Cord, 

page 41.
