BATTERY CHARGING

You must use only the charger that is supplied with your Compass™. The use of any other charger on this power chair will void the warranty. Using unauthorized chargers may also result in severe damage to the batteries and/ or damage to the chair. Using the wrong charger may also be a fire hazard.

Operational Range

Depending on the use, the terrain, and the driving conditions, the batteries of your Compass™ will provide fifteen to twenty miles of operation (with the use of NF22 batteries).

♦We recommend that you charge the batteries when necessary. Battery charge should be treated similarly to fuel in a car. You would not go on a long trip with fuel low or fill up when almost full.

Your Compass’s charging system is designed for your safety and for your convenience. Follow the steps below to recharge the batteries.

1.Position your Compass™ close to a standard wall electrical outlet.

2.Turn off the power on the joystick.

3.Remove the charger from the SEAT POCKET. See figure 24.

5.Insert the plug at the other end of the charger power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.

6.Disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet and from the joystick charging socket when the batteries are fully charged.
