The On/Off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply 
power to the wheelchair’s motors.

do, you may shorten the life of the wheelchair drive components).

Depending on the way the control system has been programmed this key can have 
different functions.  The factory default function is ‘Mode Drive/Axes’.  The ‘Mode 
Drive/Axes’ function allows the user to switch between the drive mode and local axes 
mode 
 

2.4.2.3 Right Button 

Depending on the way the control system has been programmed this key can have
