CAUTION

Incorrect installation of electric options from other manufacturers

Injuries due to uncontrolled driving behaviour

Ottobock offers an interface for alternate input devices (environment and special controls) with the LCD mon­
itor. Ottobock assumes no liability for combinations with special controls and/or accessories from other manu­
facturers.

Accessories  from  other  manufacturers  must  be  intended  for  use  on  wheelchairs  and  must  fulfil  all  currently
applicable legal requirements under the Medical Devices Act as well as further applicable standards.

INFORMATION

More detailed information and operating instructions are contained in a separate manual. Please contact the qual­
ified personnel who adjusted your product.

The  power  wheelchair  can  be  equipped  with  a  separate  LCD  monitor  with  infrared  and  Bluetooth

TM

.  If  it  is

installed,  the  control  panel  LCD  screen  only  shows  the  battery  charge  level.  Otherwise  it  has  no  function  (see
below). 
The LCD monitor performs the following functions: 

The  LCD  monitor  displays  the  current  statuses  of  all  power  functions  and  electrical  components,  as  well  as
faults and malfunctions.

The LCD monitor allows devices with infrared control to be controlled with the control panel joystick. First the
devices are programmed into the control unit using a learning mode:

Standard household appliances and hi-fi devices (TV, DVD, phone)

Light switches or dimmers

Switches to operate blinds 

Mouse emulator (joystick signals are used to control a computer mouse)

The LCD monitor is the interface to the connected special controls. The input devices of the special controls
(e.g.  sip-and-puff  control,  chin  control)  can  also  be  used  for  infrared  functions.  Detailed  information  can  be
found in the "Special Controls" instructions for use, article number 647G636=*.
