1) IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR SAFETY
The information in this manual is a supplement to the user manual issued by Invacare. Do not operate this equipment without reading, understanding and following the proper instructions and manuals, otherwise injury or damage may result.
2) INTRODUCTION
The DX-REMG80I Remote is a primary DX Remote containing a battery gauge, magnetic key and a horn. Up to five individual Drive Programs or profiles are available. The DX-REMG80Ialso features two jack sockets allowing the connection of two external switches to duplicate the functions of the On/Off and Drive Program select buttons.
3) HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
To avoid any unnecessary damage to your control system whilst driving, avoid hitting obstacles with the controller or joystick. This also applies when transporting your chair. Avoid dropping the control system & be wary of possible damage to cables. (i.e. Being Trapped).
DX-REMG80I Remote fitting, testing and programming must be carried out by professionals of the health care field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver’s capabilities. The control system should be demonstrated to the user when the chair is supplied. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver or bystanders, or damage to the wheelchair or surrounding property.
4)DRIVING THE WHEELCHAIR
The G80I Keypad
Once you are seated in your wheelchair. Switch on DX-REMG80Iby gently pressing and releasing the on/off switch located on top of the controller at the front. The system status light will light up to show power on. (If the status light flashes rapidly it indicates that the joystick knob was not in its central position when the controller was switched on. Simply allow the knob to return to the central position. If this condition persists for more than 5 seconds a latched fault will occur and the 7-segment display will begin to flash. If this happens simply turn the remote on and off to clear the fault.
Drive Programs are selected using the Drive program selection switch. The selected drive program or profile is displayed in the 7-Segment display. Drive programs or profiles may be setup to change speed and/or select remote joysticks actuators, or lights. Appendix A explains the operation of lighting and actuator functions.
Move the joystick a little in the direction you wish to travel. The further you move the joystick knob, from the central rest position, the faster the chair will move. Small gentle movements of the joystick give fine control.
