Keypad

The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It contains keys necessary to operate your power chair. See figure 23.

On/Off Key

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

WARNING! Unless faced with an emer- gency 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 un- expected movement.

Battery Condition Meter

The battery condition meter is located in front of the joy- stick. See figure 23. This is a 10-segment illuminated dis- play that indicates that the VSI is powered on and also gives the battery status, the VSI status, and the electrical system status.

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 Keys

There are two keys that control the speed. Press the speed increase key to increase the speed. Press the speed decrease key to decrease the speed. The speed setting is displayed on the maximum speed indicator.

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.
