MPJ+ Joystick Switches and Indicators

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.4.

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.
