Getting Ready to Drive
Step 1
Press the Power switch and wait until the drive screen completes its initializing process and the
base screen appears.
Step 2
Make sure that the Speed Setting is at a level that suits you.
Step 3
Use the joystick to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair.
System Limitation
If you push the joystick before or just after you switch the control system on, the screen will flash the
joystick displaced screen. You must release and center the joystick to resume normal operation. If you
do not release the joystick within five seconds the wheelchair will not be able to move, even if you
release the joystick and push it again. The screen will display the diagnostic screen at this time. You
can reset this condition by switching the control system off and on again.

Note
If you do not push the joystick as you switch the wheelchair on and the diagnostic screen is displayed,
this means that the wheelchair has detected a problem somewhere in the wheelchair’s electrical
system. Refer to Figure 6-14.
