A DX based wheelchair control system may comprise between two and sixteen
DX compatible modules depending on the application. Each DX compatible
module has its own User Manual which describes the installation requirements
of that particular module.

This manual describes the Genie Joystick remote only and must therefore be
read in conjunction with the:

DX Power Module (PMB) Installation Manual

DX Hand Held Programmer (HHP) Manual

Dynamic Wizard Installation Sheet

Installation Manuals for all other DX Modules to be used in your application.
