The on/off key turns the VSI on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an
emergency 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
unexpected movement.
Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter is located in front of the joy-
stick. This is a 10-segment illuminated display that indi-
cates that the VSI is turned on and also gives the battery
status, the VSI status, and the electrical system status.
! Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Batteries charged;
VSI and electrical system OK.
! Red and yellow lights lit: Charge batteries if pos-
sible; VSI and electrical system OK.

in the neutral position when the controller was turned on. If you get “ripple side to side of lights,” turn off the
controller, allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.
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/Profile Keys
There are two keys that control either the speed or the profile. This depends on how your VSI was pro-
grammed. Press the speed/profile increase key to increase the speed or change the profile. Press the speed/profile
decrease key to decrease the speed or change the profile. The speed/profile setting is displayed on the maximum
speed/profile indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride
Provider for more information.
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.
