Invacare Spectra Plus Mobility Aid User Manual


 
Releasing the joystick and allowing it to return to the center position will bring the chair to a
controlled stop. When you have finished driving, switch off by pressing and releasing the on/off
switch.
The fuel gauge on the top surface of the DX-REMG80I will have all 6 lights on, if your batteries
are fully charged. As you use up the power by driving, the green lights and then the amber lights
will go out. When only the red lights are left on, it is time to re-charge your batteries. The red
light will flash as a further reminder.
A socket is provided at the front of the G80I to allow a battery charger to be connected. Follow the instructions for
charging your batteries in the wheelchair manual. CAUTION – Only use the charger supplied by the wheelchair
manufacturer. If in doubt contact your Wheelchair Services representative.

7) SAFETY AND MISUSE WARNINGS
Do not operate the DX System if it behaves erratically, shows abnormal response, heating, smoke or arcing. Turn
the system off at once and consult your Service Agent.
Do not operate your DX System if the battery is nearly flat as a dangerous situation may result due to loss of power
in an inopportune place.
Ensure the controller is turned off when not in use.
No connector pins should be touched, as contamination or damage due to electrostatic discharge may result.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) influences most electronic equipment. Caution should be exercised with regard
to the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. While the manufacturer has
made every effort to ensure that RFI does not cause problems, very strong signals could still cause a problem. If
RFI causes erratic behavior, shut the wheelchair off immediately. Leave off while transmission is in progress.
Report any malfunctions immediately to your Service Agent.
PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTROL SYSTEM IN ANY WAY. ANY UNAUTHORISED MODIFICATIONS
INCLUDING THE FITMENT OF UNAPPROVED SPARES OR ACCESSORIES MAY RENDER THE CONTROL
SYSTEM UNSAFE AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY SAFETY/APPROVAL MARKS AND THE WARRANTY.
