Joystick Error - VR2 Control System

If the joystick is pushed before or just after the control system is turned on, the

battery indicator will ripple up and down and the wheelchair will not be allowed to

move. The joystick has to be released to resume normal operation. If the joystick

is not released within 5 seconds the wheelchair will not be able to move, even

if the joystick is released. The battery indicator will then flash rapidly. Reset this

condition by switching the control system off and on again.

If the wheelchair still can’t be driven and the battery indicator is flashing rapidly

after restarting it, a problem somewhere in the wheelchair´s electronical system

has been detected. See further information in the section ”Troubleshooting” on

pages. 102-103, 108.

Battery indicator will ripple up and down
