The horn button
When pressed the horn buzzer will
sound, it stops when you release
the button (Fig. 40).
Hazard lights
Depressing the button will operate
the front and rear hazard lights.
This is effective either when the
chair is switched On or Off. The
two indicators will flash intermit-
tently until cancelled by pressing
the button again (Fig. 41).
Main lights
Depressing this button will operate
the lights only when the chair is
switched on. Pressing it again will
switch the lights off (Fig. 42).
Actuator mode function
This will be included on your
remote control pod if you have one
or more electric options fitted to
your chair (Fig. 43).
Menu select
To chose an electric option press
the mode button until the red lights
are visible on the wheelchair
diagram next to the joystick. Move the joystick to
the left or right to indicate which function can be
used.
When the desired function has been chosen you
can activate the electric actuator system. If you
attempt to operate the electric functions when
driving, the chair will automatically come to a safe
stop. We recommend you only use the electric
options whilst stationary.
Up/down movement
Once the relevant electric option has been chosen
the required movement is achieved by moving the
joystick forwards or backwards.
Operating the control joystick
When engaging the main On/Off switch, allow a few
seconds prior to moving the joystick. This allows
the system to self check. If you move the joystick
too soon, the battery level indicator display will
flash, disabling drive to your wheelchair. Whilst this
is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will need to
switch off and then back on to clear the system.

To steer, move the joystick in the direction you wish
to go. Proceed slowly at first, i.e., do not push the
joystick too far forward. Brakes will operate as soon
as the joystick is released and allowed to return to
its centre position.
On level ground, this should bring you to a halt
within one chair’s length (6 km/h model). On a steep
hill, it may travel slightly further and you will notice
the brakes being automatically applied when the
chair is nearly stationary. Once the brakes have
been applied, switching off will make no difference
to the brakes, although it is always safer when
remaining stationary for a period of time to switch
off.
Summary
1. To steer, move the joystick in the direction you
wish to go.
2. The further you move the joystick, the faster you
will go.
3. New users should use slower speeds until they
feel confident when driving the powerchair.
Adjust the speed range as explained on the pre-
vious pages.
4. The brakes will automatically stop the wheelchair
from any speed when the joystick is released.
5. Switching off immediately applies braking and is
not recommended for normal use.
6. It is important that the chair is stationary when
changing direction from reverse to forward.
7. Always switch to off before getting into or out of
the chair.
Programme port
This will enable an approved ser-
vice agent to reprogramme your
chair and also gain useful informa-
tion when tracing any faults
(Fig. 44).
Note: If you need to stop in an
emergency, the simplest and safest
way is to release the joystick. This
will bring the chair to a halt in a
controlled manner. A second
means of bringing the chair to a
halt is to press the On/Off switch.
This method is not recommended as the chair will
stop very abruptly and will cause unnecessary wear
in the chair’s braking system.
Proportional control
When the chair leaves the factory, the parameters of
the controller are set to default.
To programme the controller you need a special
programming device (Handheld or PC software)
which is available through your Sunrise Medical
Dealer.
WARNING:
SUNRISE MEDICAL does not accept responsibility
for damages which result from unexpected stopping
of the wheelchair or inappropriate programming or
unauthorised use of the wheelchair.
Note: Programming the controller of the wheelchair
is only allowed through authorised Sunrise Medical
agents. Incorrect controller settings could cause
driving outside the safe limits and could result in
damage or injury.
