F. LED JOYSTICK

On/Off Button

The on/off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply
power to the wheelchair’s motors. Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair
unless there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life off the wheelchair drive
components.)

Horn Button

The horn will sound while this button is depressed.

Battery Gauge

The battery gauge show you that the wheelchair is switched on. It also indicates the operat-
ing status of the wheelchair.

• If the battery gauge shows red, yellow and green, the batteries are charged (bars 1 - 10).
• If the battery gauges show just red and yellow, then you should charge the batteries as

soon as you can (bars 1 - 7).

• If the battery gauge shows just red, either steady or flashing slowly, then you should

charge the batteries immediately (bars 1 - 3).

Maximum Speed Indicator

This is a gauge that shows the maximum speed setting of the wheelchair. There are five
speed settings– step 1 is the lowest speed and step 5 is the highest speed.

Speed Decrease Button

This button decreases the maximum speed setting or, if the control system is programmed
for drive profile operation, selects a lower drive profile.

Speed Increase Button

This button increases the maximum speed setting or, if the control system is programmed for
drive profile operation, selects a higher drive profile.

Mode Button

The Mode button allows the user to navigate through the available operating modes for the
control system. The available modes are dependent on programming and the range of auxil-
iary output devices connected to the control system.

Actuator Indicator

This LED set displays which actuator channel is currently being controlled when the control
system is in Actuator Mode. Actuator selection and operation is achieved using the joystick.

• Motions to the LEFT or RIGHT select different actuator channels.
• Motions FORWARD and BACKWARD move the actuator(s) selected.

Speed Indication

The number of LED’s illuminated shows the maximum speed setting. For example, if the set-
ting is speed level 4, then the four left hand LED’s will be illuminated.
