Joystick ‘Lock’ Function
Your VR2 controller is equipped with a lock function to prevent any unauthorised use. To
lock the controller:
 When the power is on, press and hold the power button for about 1 second until
the system bleeps.
 Move the joystick forward until it bleeps, then move it to the back position until
you hear a bleep.
 Release the joystick – you should now hear a long bleep, this indicates the system
is now locked.
To unlock the controller:
 Press the power button until the speed indicator lights go from left to right.
 Move the joystick forward until it bleeps, then move it to the back position until
you hear a bleep.
 Release the joystick – you should hear another bleep, this indicates that the
system is unlocked and ready for use.
Should the rubber boot/gaitor or keypad on the joystick become damaged, replace
immediately to prevent damage to the internal components.
Brake Release / Freewheel Operation
To release the electromagnetic brakes go to the back of the powerchair and rotate the
two levers away from the chair as indicated by the labelling. The powerchair may now
be pushed. This function is not intended to be used for moving the powerchair when
occupied unless in an emergency. Rotate both levers as indicated by the labelling to
re-engage the brakes.
Shows freewheel position
Caution! Never leave the powerchair unattended whilst in freewheel mode as it will roll
away down an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should only be used in an emergency to
move the powerchair due to power failure. NEVER move the powerchair in this mode
whilst it is occupied. DO NOT use your feet to operate the electromagnetic brakes as this
will apply excessive force and damage the mechanisms. This could lead to the
powerchair being inoperable.
