The battery condition meter is located in front of the joystick. See figure 16. This is a 10-segment illuminated display that indicates that the VSI is turned on and also gives the battery status, the VSI status, and the electrical system status.

νRed and yellow lights lit: Charge battery if possible;

VSI and electrical system OK.

ν Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge battery as soon as possible; VSI and electrical system OK.

νRapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the VSI or the electrical system. Refer to “VSI Error Codes.”

νRipple up and down of lights: The joystick was not in the neutral position when the controller was turned on. If you get “ripple up and down 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 up and down 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. See figure 16. This depends on how your VSI was programmed. 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 autho- rized Pride provider for more information.
