Warning
Do NOT use the power button to stop the wheelchair, except in an emergency. Using the power
button to stop will cause the wheelchair to stop abruptly and may cause personal injury. It can also
shorten the life of the wheelchair drive components.
The Power button applies power to the control system, which in turn supplies power to the motors.

When to Charge the Batteries
If the battery indicator is red and flashes, then the battery has less than 19% charge and you should
charge the batteries immediately.
If the battery indicator is red and lights steadily, then the battery is very low (20-29% charge) and you
should charge the batteries as soon as possible.
If the battery indicator is yellow, then the battery is low (30-69% charge) and you should charge the
batteries soon.
If the battery indicator is green, then the battery is fully charged (70-100% charge).
