NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.5.

The far right side of the display screen is the Battery Gauge Display (BGD). It provides information on the remaining charge in the batteries.

At full charge, solid blocks fill in all ten segments between E (Empty) and F (Full). As the battery becomes discharged, the segments will progressively disappear a bar at a time until no segments appear between E and F. At this level the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.

Charging Batteries

WARNING

NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery terminals.

DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same time.

DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to any type of moisture.

DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside. DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while recharging the batteries.

DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries using both the on-board battery charger and an independent battery charger (plugged into the joystick charger port) at the same time. Doing so will reduce the life of the batteries.

Read and carefully follow the individual instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified technician for proper procedures.

CAUTION

New batteries MUST be fully charged prior to initial use of the wheelchair. ALWAYS charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be reduced.

As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as possible to assure the longest possible life and to minimize required charging time. Plan to recharge them when you do not anticipate using the wheelchair.
