INFORMATION
In dangerous situations, the product can be turned off at
any time using the on/off button. When the button is
pressed, the product brakes immediately and the electrical
functions cease. Malfunctions such as an insufficient sup­
ply of power to the controls are recognised by the soft­
ware, triggering an emergency stop or reducing the speed
of the product. A warning signal will also sound.
• Pressing the [On/Off] button (see Fig. 11; see Fig. 12)
turns the power wheelchair control unit on or off. The
power wheelchair turns off automatically if the control
unit is not used for an extended period of time.
• The power wheelchair brakes automatically and comes
to a stop if it is turned off with the [On/Off] button while
driving.
• The specialist dealer can specify the speed level or
menu of the power wheelchair after it is turned on,
according to the user's requirements.
