The BGD also serves as a system diagnostic device when a fault is detected by the control
module. A specific number of flashes of the last two RED bars (up to eight (8) flashes) start
to flash on and off separated by a pause to indicate the type of fault detected. A chart of
the diagnostic indications is given in DIAGNOSTIC CODE of the Electronics Manual,
part number 1122140.
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the wheelchair is
pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster it moves. Your top speed, however,
is limited by the setting of the speed-control knob and programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
CHARGER/PROGRAMMING INPUT
Located at the front of the joystick housing. This provides easy access for charging the
wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the Remote Programmer Communication
connection.

DRIVE SELECT TOGGLE SWITCH
The three (3) position drive select toggle switch is located at the back of the joystick
housing. This switch allows the operator to select the type of operation or performance
which best suits a particular control need or situation. The DRIVE 1 program uses
performance values which are independent of those used for the DRIVE 2 program. As
an example, an operator may have a control need for spasticity in the morning and a very
different need in the afternoon. DRIVE 1 can be programmed for higher speeds and
quicker response while DRIVE 2 can be programmed for slower speeds and less
responsiveness or vice versa.
