3.Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your vehicle, pointing the
joystick away from the neutral position(center) will move the vehicle in the
direction where the joystick is pointing. The farther away(forward/backward) the
joystick is from the neutral position, the faster the vehicle will go. The farther
away to the right/ left the joystick is pointing, the sharper the turn of the vehicle
will be. To operate the vehicle by gently pushing the joystick in the direction you
want to go. Returning the joystick to its neutral position (center) will reduce the
speed and stop the vehicle by automatically applying the electromagnetic brakes.
Notes:
→
After pressing the controller ON/OFF switch, allows two seconds to elapse
before engaging the joystick. This is a safety feature to prevent sudden start.
→
Gentle operation of the joystick will result in smoother transitions in speed
and direction, while sharp operation of the joystick will result in drastic
transitions in direction and velocity.
→
When the wheelchair is in operation, the surface of the charger will become
slightly hot.
→
In case of emergency, let go of the joystick and the chair will come to a stop.
B. Controller Display
The controller display is a multifunction visual display. It can provide four types
of information: 1) ON/OFF status, 2) battery condition meter, 3) Horn , 4)
acceleration and 5) deceleration buttons.
1. ON/OFF Status
When the power is on, the controller’s LED will be lit up. If the LED is not
lit, the controller is OFF.
2. Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter is composed of 10 segments (three of red, four of
yellow, and three of green). It enables you to monitor battery charge. The
battery condition meter indicates the approximate amount of battery charge
left.
→
Red, yellow and green LEDs indicate that the batteries are fully charged
→
Red and yellow LEDs indicate that you should charge the batteries if
possible.
→
Red LEDs indicate that you should charge the batteries as soon
as
possible,
because low battery voltage may cause your power wheelchair to become
inoperative.
