On/Off Key
The on/off key turns the VSI on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an
emergency situation, do not use the

cause the power chair to stop
abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off
when you are stationary to prevent
unexpected movement.
Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter is located in front of the
joystick. This is a 10-segment illuminated display that
indicates that the VSI is turned on and also gives the
battery status, the VSI status, and the electrical sys-
tem status.

Rapid flash of lights:
Indicates a fault in the VSI or the electrical system. Refer to VSI Error Codes.
n
Ripple side to side of lights:
The joystick was not in the neutral position when the controller was
turned on. If you get ripple side to side of lights, turn off the controller, allow the joystick to return
to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.
NOTE: If you still get ripple side to side of lights, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the first red light will begin to slowly flash,
reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!
Speed/Profile Keys
There are two keys that control either the speed or the profile. This depends on how your VSI was
programmed. Press the speed/profile increase key to increase the speed or change the profile. Press the
speed/profile decrease key to decrease the speed or change the profile. The speed/profile setting is dis-
played on the maximum speed/profile indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile,
contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to the
slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
