F. PERFORMANCE CONTROL SETTINGS
NOTE– BEFORE attempting to check and/or adjust settings on your joy-
stick, be sure to see your Dealer or Clinician and have them
make the adjustments if needed.
1. It is vital to match control settings to your level of function
and ability.
2. Consult your health care professional and your Authorized
Dealer to select the best control settings for you.
3. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months.
WARNING
Adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any change in
your ability to:
• Control the joystick.
• Avoid running into objects.
G. ON BOARD PROGRAMMER (DIAGNOSTIC
TEST TOOL) OR RNET PC PROGRAMMER
(Optional)
WARNING
Program settings beyond the ability of the user can result in seri-
ous injury. Consult your health care advisor before you alter set-
tings.
The On-board Programmer or RNET PC Programmer lets you
adjust the control settings of the QM-710. Listed below are a few
of the many settings that can be adjust via the On-board
Programmer or RNET PC Programmer. (See RNET OBP Owners
Manual for full programmable parameters.)

Programming the Chair:
a. Access via DTT (Diagnostic Test Tool), or the PC
Programmer require an inline
connection to the communication cable.
b. Program as needed.
c. Remove Dongle or recycle power.
NOTE–
Review the RNET OBP Owner’s Manual for more details on how
to program your chair.
H. CTRL+5 ASSIGNABLE BUTTONS
The Ctrl+5 (Canbus switch) is a device that plugs into the PG
Drives R-net system and allows for the set up of up to ten differ-
ent functions into the ten discrete buttons, (each toggle switch is
two buttons). This device uses the Sunrise Medical patented
Assignable Buttons feature. The Ctrl+5 switches are pre-pro-
grammed from the factory to default values for the actuators on
the chairs. Using the Dealer PC Programmer and dongle, the but-
ton assignments can be changed to any of the Assignable Buttons
functions to suit the user just like the joystick buttons.
I. JOYSTICK STATIONARY
Your chair has an available programming feature called “Joystick
Stationary” which can be set by your dealer. This feature senses
when the joystick is displaced from neutral, yet left in a steady posi-
tion for a predetermined period of time. The controller will auto-
matically turn off if the set time has been reached. This feature is
designed to protect the user, batteries and electronics if the joystick
is inadvertently displaced. There are two parameters that can be
adjusted:
1.
Joystick Stationary Time
:
This is the time the joystick has to remain within the sta-
tionary range before the unit will come to a stop. It can be
programmed from 0 to 60 minutes in steps of one minute.
Select 0 to disable the function. Default setting is 0
(Disabled).
2.
Joystick Stationary Range
:
This determines the size of a region around the present joy-
stick position. If the joystick remains within this region for the
stationary time the controller will stop. The range can be pro-
grammed from 1 to 50, in steps of 1. Default setting is 1.
WARNING
Before turning on or adjusting these parameters, carefully read
and understand the implications for use of these features, Joystick
Stationary Time and Joystick Stationary Range. When the “Joystick
Stationary Time” is reached within the “Joystick Stationary Range”,
the drive motors on the chair will shut off. As an example, this will
happen while driving in a straight line for extended periods of time
with no joystick movement. Once the drive motors turn off, the
user will need to turn the chair off and back on to drive.
J. THERMAL ROLL-BACK
Your chair has a thermal roll back circuit. This protects the con-
troller from damage due to overheating. In extreme conditions (such
as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease the power to your
motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When
the controller cools, the chair will return to normal speed.
K. RECLINE, TILT & LIFT OPERATION
The tilt and lift features on your chair can all be operated using the
joystick on your chair. Follow the instructions below to operate:
If the thru drive option was selected,
1. Make sure your controller is on.
2. From the Drive Mode, press the Mode button to enter
Power Seating Mode.
3. Move the joystick left or right selecting the power option
(recline, tilt, lift, legrests) you wish to control.
4. Move the joystick forward or backward to adjust the select-
ed power option to the desired position.
5. Press the Mode button to return to normal operation or
continue moving the joystick left or right to adjust the next
power option. Multiple Mode button presses will be neces-
sary if other modules, such as Output, are active.
