WHEN TO CHARGE BATTERIES (FIGURE 3)
It is advantageous to recharge daily rather than only when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the charge level is maintained well above a low condition.
MKIV RII Joystick
BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR (BDI) is located at the front of the joystick housing and provides information on the remaining charge in the batteries. At FULL charge theBDIwillbeGREEN.Asthebatterybecomesdischarged, the BDI indicator will turn AMBER (YELLOW), then RED and finally FLASHING RED. If the BDI is FLASHING RED, the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.

BATTERY GAUGE DISPLAY (BGD) is the bar graph dis- play located on the MKIV X, A or A+ joystick. It will keep you informed as to power availability. A visual warning is given before the power becomes too low to operate the wheelchair. At full charge the two (2) LEFT segments and the farthest RIGHT segment of the bar graph will be illumi- nated. As the battery becomes discharged, the farthest RIGHT segment will progressively move to the LEFT until only the last two (2) bars (LEFT) are illuminated. At this level the last two (2) bars (LEFT) will start to Flash ON and OFF to indicate that the end user should charge the batter- ies as soon as possible.
