8. Joystick (E) (QR & QC standard)
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and move
the joystick in the direction you want to go.
• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the brakes,
allowing the chair to move.
• The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral.
Q-NOTE–
If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the
chair will come to a complete stop.
• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a
stop and the brakes will reengage.
• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time.
This will conserve battery power.
Q-NOTE–
Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the
brakes.
9. Joystick Boot (F) (QR & QC standard)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture
to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
10. Remote Switch Jacks (QR option– not shown)
Two 1/8" switch jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the on/off
power function and the mode select function. Any of the single switches offered by
Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or both of these jacks (except the
single zero touch switch).
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair except in an emergency.
This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to neutral.
• Amber lights indicate that batteries need
recharging.
• When the lights stay in the red band, the batter-
ies must be recharged.
5. On/Off Mode Switch (A) (QR option)
The on/off mode switch is located on the rear face of
the joystick housing. It is a toggle switch. Turning the
chair on or off, is accomplished by pressing the switch
downward. The switch will automatically return to the
center point. Alternate locations exist for this switch.
Please see your supplier in the event that you wish to
relocate or re-orient this switch.
6. Mode Button (J) and Mode Switch (A)
(QR option)
The mode button and mode switch allow you to select
from 4 (four) different programmable drive profiles or
actuator mode sets.
• Push up the on/off mode select toggle switch to
index among the four drive and actuator modes.
The selected mode indicator will flash.
• Push joystick either left, right, forward or reverse
to select one of the four drive profiles. To select
the actuator modes, push up on the mode select
switch twice.
• The drive profiles are indicated by the mode indi-
cators (G) and the actuators are indicated by the
four actuator lights (H).
• To exit drive mode, simply push the joystick to
begin driving.
• To exit actuator mode, simply push the on/off
mode toggle up one or more times until the indi-
cator no longer flashes.
7. Mode Button (W) (QC option)
The mode button allows you to select from 2 (two)
actuator mode sets.
•
Push the mode button once and the light next to
the Mode Button labeled “1” will illuminate. This
indicates that your first actuator is ready to use.
•
Push the mode button twice and the light next
to the Mode Button labeled “2” will illuminate.
This indicates that your second actuator is ready
to use.
