Off-board Charger Socket
You may use an off-board charger to charge the Go-Chair batteries through the 3-pin socket located on the front of the VSI.
The off-board charger current should not exceed 5 amps. Contact an authorized Pride Provider for more information.
WARNING! Only authorized Pride chargers should be connected to the off-board charger socket.
See an authorized Pride Provider for more information.
NOTE: The off-board charger socket on the controller should be used when charging the batteries with the
battery box installed on the power base.
Controller Connector
This connects the VSI to the travel chair’s batteries, motors, and motor brakes.
Sleep Mode
The VSI controller is equipped with a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit that automatically shuts off the
main power if the joystick is not moved in any direction for a preset period of time. The battery condition meter lights on
the keypad indicate sleep mode by blinking once every five seconds. To restore power and continue, push the on/off
key twice.
