The electronic controller also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. Also, it may be used to control some optional systems such as power elevating seats and lights.

Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The further you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. See figure 35. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair.
