Alante DX/LT Owner’s Manual Rev A_011811
VII. OPERATION
Your Alante DX/LT™ is simple to operate. However, for your safety and the safety of others,
Golden Technologies, Inc. recommends that you carefully read and understand the
following operating instructions. We also recommend that you practice operating your
Alante DX/LT™ in an area free of any obstacles. Once you have gained confidence in your
ability to control your power chair, you will more easily be able to operate it in normal daily
conditions.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Before turning on the power of your Alante DX/LT™, take note of your environment and set
your speed control accordingly. (See “Speed Control Buttons” Figure 9 on page 16) For
indoor driving, we recommend that you select the lowest speed setting. For outdoor driving,
we recommend that you select a speed setting at which you feel comfortable, safe, and in
control of your power chair. Familiarize yourself with the features of your Alante DX/LT™
described below and follow the instructions to safely operate your power chair.
DRIVING: The Joystick On/Off Switch
Push the on/off button to turn on the power to your Alante DX/LT™. See Figure 9 on page
16. The 10 LEDs will flash once and a number of LEDs will remain depending on the state
of the battery charge.
♦ The LED (Light Emitting Diode) array, that functions as the battery charge gauge, will
light up. See “Battery Charging” on pages 33-34.
Pressing the on/off button again will turn off the power to your Alante DX/LT ™.
The Speed Control Buttons
These buttons provide you with a way to control the maximum speed of your Alante DX/LT.
♦ Push the “Slow” button repeatedly to set your chair’s speed to the slowest setting
(recommended for indoor operation). Slowest speed is indicated by one (1) lit LED section
on the speed indicator scale.
♦ Push the “Fast” button repeatedly to set your chair’s speed to its highest setting. Highest
speed is indicated by five (5) lit LED sections on the speed indicator scale.
NOTE: For your safety, the controller automatically sets the reverse speed, acceleration,
and deceleration in proportion to the speed control setting.
