VII. OPERATION
2. Battery Charge Level
The joystick LED array is composed of ten (10) LED’s.
♦Three (3) red
♦Four (4) amber
♦Three (3) green
When all ten LEDs are lit continuously, there is a full charge on the batteries. As you use
your power chair and the batteries discharge, LEDs in the array will begin to turn off in
descending order. A single lit red LED indicates the lowest state of operable charge on the
batteries. The batteries should be charged immediately.
NOTE: To ensure a dependable battery charge, we recommend that you charge the chair’s
batteries overnight. Doing this will prolong the life of the batteries and spare you loss of
operational power while you are using your chair normally.
Do not charge the batteries when all 10 LEDs are lit, indicating that the batteries are
at full charge. Charging the batteries when they are fully charged will shorten the life
of the batteries.
3. Control System Status Indication
The joystick LED array is also designed to help you diagnose any problems with the
electrical components of your power chair. The LED array does this by flashing on and off
in a coded sequence. The battery gauge and maximum speed/profile indicator show the
status of the control system. A number of supposedly defective control systems returned to
us are subsequently found to operate correctly. This indicates that many reported faults are
due to wheelchair problems rather than the control system.
1.1 Battery Gauge is Steady
This indicates that all is well.
1.2 Battery Gauge Flashes Slowly
The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the battery as soon as
possible.
1.3 Battery Gauge Steps Up
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the wheelchair
until the charger is disconnected and you have switched the control system off and on
again
