Joystick
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further the joystick is
pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your
top speed, however, is limited by the programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
Charger/Programming Input
The charger/programming input is located at the front of the joystick housing. This
provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the
Remote Programmer Communication connection. Driving is prevented while the system
is charging.
Service Indicator
The AMBER service indicator will light when an error or fault occurs. Refer to Service
Indicator Light Diagnostics on page 27 for a listing of the flash codes and what they
indicate.
