SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION
2.Rotate the knob counterclockwise (backward) to decrease the speed of the wheelchair to the programmed max speed.
Joystick
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further the joystick is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your top speed, however, is limited by the programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
Charger/Programming Input
The charger/programming input is located at the front of the joystick housing. This provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the Remote Programmer Communication connection. Driving is prevented while the system is charging.
LCD Display Screens
The LCD Display is located in front of the joystick and provides information on the status of the wheelchair through a backlit display. The LCD display is readable in both bright sunlight and complete darkness.

During normal operation, the active drive is displayed in the upper half of the LCD display. Battery charge level is shown in the Battery Gauge Display (BGD) located on the right side of the LCD display. At full charge, solid blocks fill in all ten segments between E (Empty) and F (Full). As the battery becomes discharged, the top most segments will progressively disappear until no segments appear between E and F. At this level, the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.
The lower half of the LCD display is the Information Center. The Information Center displays current data on the wheelchair.
