n
communications cable(s)
n

n
motor wiring harnesses

Remote Plus Master Remote
The Remote Plus master remote consists of the following:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. controller communications cable
4. off-board charger/programming socket
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power
chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (cen-
ter) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow
your power chair to move. The farther you push the joy-
stick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair
moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to re-
turn to the neutral position, you engage the electromag-
netic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate
and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the
joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair.
On/Off Key
The on/off key powers the system on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair.
This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.
