PROCEDURE 10FWD WHEELCHAIRS

WHEN TO CHARGE BATTERIES(FIGURE 10)

It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only

when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the

charge level is maintained well above a low condition.

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

the BDI will be GREEN. As the battery becomes dis-

charged, the BDI indicator will turn AMBER (YELLOW),

then RED and finally FLASHING RED. If the BDI is FLASH-

ING RED, the user should charge the batteries as soon

as possible.
