General Operating Principles

When  the  Omni  is  powered-up  or  awoken,  then  a  screen  such  as  below  will
appear.  Power-up  can  be  via  the  On/Off  button  on  the  front  panel  or  via  a
switch  connected  into  the  External  On/Off  Switch  Jack;  while  wake-up  can  be
via the User Switch or a particular SID sequence if a User Switch is not fitted. See
section Using the Omni without a User Switch for details of this sequence.

This  is  a  typical  screen.  Depending  on  SID  type,
programming  or  system  configuration  and  status,
there  may  be  additional  icons.  Refer  to  section  LCD
Screen Details for further information.

The wheelchair can now be driven with the SID. While driving, the speed of the
wheelchair will be indicated by the numeric display and the graphical display.
