Stopping the Wheelchair

There are 5 ways to stop the wheelchair

1.  Close your eyes.

2. Look away from the computer screen

3.  Look at the stop icon on the drive screen.

4.  Look at the settings icon on the drive screen.

5. You or a caregiver can press a buddy button that is attached to the wheelchair 
drive power.  Position the buddy button where you or a caregiver can easily 
press the buddy button if needed.

Note: when stopped, the wheelchair gradually decelerates to prevent the seat 
occupant from being ejected from the seat.  It will take up to a few feet to come 
to a complete stop.

Note: If the eye gaze devices is interrupted, a power failure occurs, or the eye 
gaze device can not locate the eyes the chair will come to a stop.  Use standard 
methods of powering on the wheelchair and configuring the eye gaze device to 
reestablish eye gaze driving of the power wheelchair.
