SPEED AND MODE ADJUSTMENTS
The Remote Plus joystick controller is equipped with a mode key and a speed indicator. See figure 33. The mode key allows you to access different wheelchair functions. Activating the mode key allows you to adjust the maximum wheelchair speed. To increase or decrease the overall speed, activate the mode key once. Pushing the joystick to the right will increase the speed setting. Pushing the joystick to the left will decrease the speed setting. The speed indicator LEDs will light up from left to right. When one LED is lit, the speed is in the slowest setting. When all five LEDs are lit, the speed is in the fastest setting. After selecting your desired speed, activate the mode key again to return to drive or simply activate the joystick in the forward or reverse direction and your Jazzy will operate at the selected speed setting.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your Jazzy 1400 you have your speed adjustment mode on the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power wheelchair.
If your Jazzy is equipped with power seat functions, you can access seat control by pressing the mode key twice. Push the joystick to the right to toggle to your desired seat function. The LED will light in various positions indicating which seat function is active. When the LED is lit in the appropriate section, push the joystick forward to raise the actuator and push the joystick in reverse to lower the actuator. To return to drive, activate the mode key again.
SLEEP MODE
If your Jazzy 1400 is equipped with a Remote Plus controller, then you have a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a
THERMAL ROLLBACK
The Remote Plus controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the motors and the controller. In the event that the motors or the controller becomes excessively hot (above 122° F), the controller reduces the motor voltage. For every degree above 122° F, the controller reduces the voltage by five volts. This reduces your Jazzy’s speed and allows the electrical components to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your Jazzy 1400 resumes its normal speed.
TROUBLE CODES
In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate possible problems with your Jazzy 1400. The battery condition meter has ten individual bars. The bars provide information by the number of bars that are flashing. If the meter is flashing rapidly, the controller may be indicating a fault. For instance, the very first red bar flashing rapidly indicates the battery voltage is nearly depleted. The following is a list of the possible errors signified by the rapidly flashing meter.
