O. MANUAL RECLINE OPERATION 

The ASAP II seating system has two manual recline options. The first is using a 16mm
socket wrench at point (A) and the second can be done by using the manual recline knob
(B) on the side of the chair. To recline the chair, rotate this knob clockwise and turn the
knob counter-clockwise to return the back to a more upright position.

P. JOYSTICK 

Controls:

Two types of joysticks are available: LED and Color Display.

The joystick assembly has 3 components:  The Joystick, The Power Module, and the
communications cable.

Q. OMNI INPUT DISPLAY

The Omni is a universal specialty controls interface that accepts signals from many differ-
ent types of SIDs and translates them into commands compatible with the PG Drives
Technology RNET control system.  Examples of these might include: Breath Control,
Proportional Head Control, Mini-Joystick, and many others.
