Locking/Unlocking the VSI

The VSI has a feature that enables you to lock your power chair to prevent unauthorized use.

To lock the VSI:

1.  With the VSI powered on, press and hold the on/off key. After one (1) second, the VSI should beep.
2.  Release the on/off key.
3.  Push the joystick to the full forward position until the VSI beeps.
4.  Pull the joystick to the full rearward position until the VSI beeps.
5.  Release the joystick. There should be a long beep.
6.  The VSI is now locked.

To unlock the VSI:

1.  Press the on/off key and power on the VSI. The maximum speed/profile indicator should ripple side 

to side.

2.  Push the joystick to the full forward position until the VSI beeps.
3.  Pull the joystick to the full rearward position until the VSI beeps.
4.  Release the joystick. There should be a long beep.
5.  The VSI is now unlocked.

NOTE: If the above procedure fails to either lock or unlock the VSI, contact your Pride/Quantum 

Provider.

Actuator Adjustment

The VSI can control optional power accessories such as a power elevating seat using the actuator keys 
and the joystick.

NOTE: Actuator adjustment may vary depending on the VSI program. This section describes 

basic actuator adjustment for power chairs equipped with one actuator. Contact your Pride/

Quantum Provider for more information regarding actuator adjustment for your power chair.

Follow the steps below for actuator adjustment for power chairs with one actuator:

1.  Power on the controller.
2.  Press either actuator key to activate actuator adjustment mode. Both actuator LEDs will be lit.
3.  Give a forward or reverse command to the joystick to adjust the actuator.
4.  Press either actuator key to return to the drive mode.

Sleep Mode

Your VSI controller has a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit that automatically shuts 
off the main power if the joystick is not moved in any direction for a period of time predetermined by 
controller program. The battery condition meter lights on the keypad indicate sleep mode by blinking 
once every five seconds. To restore power and continue, push the on/off key twice.
