SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION

Information Gauge Display

The information gauge display is located on the front of the joystick housing and provides the following information to the user on the status of the wheelchair:

1.Power is On.

2.True state-of-battery-charge, including notification of when the battery requires charging:

A.GREEN LEDs are lit, indicating well charged batteries.

B.AMBER LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are moderately charged. Recharge batteries before taking a long trip.

C.RED LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are running out of charge. Recharge batteries as soon as possible.

The Information Gauge display also serves as a system diagnostic device when a fault is detected by the control module. A specific number of flashes of the LEDs indicate the type of fault detected.

Drive Select Toggle Switch

The drive select toggle switch is located on the left side, below the LCD. The drive select position is momentary, meaning that it will return to the neutral position after a selection is made.

This switch allows the operator to select the type of operation or performance which best suits a particular control need or situation. The DRIVE 1 program uses performance values which are independent of those used for the DRIVE 2 or 3 or 4 program. As an example, an operator may have a control need for spasticity in the morning and a very different need in the afternoon. DRIVE 1 can be programmed for higher speeds and quicker response while DRIVE 2 can be programmed for slower speeds and less responsiveness or vise versa. The other two drive programs could be indoor and outdoor versions of DRIVE 1 and DRIVE 2.
