Docking System Controls
The system control panel must be mounted in an area that is readily visible to the driver of the vehicle. The control panel provides
a release switch as well as displaying the docking base system status through an array of colored lights and an audible alarm. The
control panel also allows the system to be fully deactivated for occasions when the docking base is not being used. For passenger
applications an additional release switch may be provided in an area closer to the docking station for the convenience of the
passenger or attendant.
FLASHING YELLOW AND RED LIGHTS COUPLED WITH A PULSING AUDIBLE ALARM INDICATE THE CONTROLS HAVE
BECOME DETACHED FROM THE DOCKING BASE. DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM CAN BE
CORRECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN.

levers in the docking base will disengage and hold open for five seconds allowing you to exit the system. THE DOCKING SYSTEM

be disabled. If the system is NOT occupied by a wheelchair user, the audible alarm may be tem porarily deactivated by pressing the
deactivation switch on the right side of the control panel. Never lock the docking base m anually to silence the alarm. Attempting to
enter a docking base that has been m anually locked will result in damage to internal components.
