Preparing for use
4.2.6.3 Joystick error LED panel
Figure 161. The LEDs on the battery voltage indicator.
While the control system checks if an error has occurred, the LEDs
on the battery voltage indicator will wander backward and forward.
If the control system detects an error in the wheelchair electronics,
the battery voltage indicator LEDs will flash rapidly. To enable the
wheelchair to be driven again, make sure the joystick is in the central
position. Then switch the wheelchair off and on again. If this does
not work and the LEDs still flash rapidly, contact your service
provider.
4.3 Batteries
How frequently you need to charge the wheelchair’s batteries will
depend on a number of factors, including how you use the
wheelchair, the temperature and the age of the batteries. All batteries
gradually lose capacity as they age.
The most important factor for the life of the batteries is how much
power is taken out of them before they are charged and how often
they are charged or discharged.
