On/Off Key

The on/off key turns the VSI on and off.

WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly.

WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.

Battery Condition Meter

The battery condition meter is located in front of the joy- stick. This is a 10-segment illuminated display that indi- cates that the VSI is turned on and also gives the battery status, the VSI status, and the electrical system status.

!Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Batteries charged; VSI and electrical system OK.

!Red and yellow lights lit: Charge batteries if pos- sible; VSI and electrical system OK.

!Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge batteries

as soon as possible; VSI and electrical system OK. ! Rapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the VSI or

the electrical system. Refer to “VSI Error Codes.”

! Ripple side to side of lights: The joystick was not

in the neutral position when the controller was turned on. If you get “ripple side to side of lights,” turn off the controller, allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.

NOTE: If you still get “ripple side to side of lights,” contact your authorized Pride Provider.

NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the first red light will begin to slowly flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!

Speed/Profile Keys

There are two keys that control either the speed or the profile. This depends on how your VSI was pro- grammed. Press the speed/profile increase key to increase the speed or change the profile. Press the speed/profile decrease key to decrease the speed or change the profile. The speed/profile setting is displayed on the maximum speed/profile indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information.

NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
