5 Infrared Setup, Programming and Usage
5.1 Mounting the IR/Mouse Module
1. Turn the power wheelchair off.
2. Using tie wraps, mount the IR/Mouse Module to the wheelchair seat frame.
Usual locations include the back canes or under the arm rests. The IR/Mouse Module should be mounted in an

inconspicuous location. Access to the IR/Mouse Module is required if the device to be controlled needs to be "learned".
3. Plug the MK6i connector of the IR/Mouse Module into the MK6i network cable.
4. Plug the IR Blaster (IR Transmitter) monoplug into the IR XMTR Output on the IR/Mouse Module.
5. Secure the transmitter portion of the IR Blaster to the front of the wheelchair. There is a mounting bracket included and double-sided tape on
the IR Blaster for easier mounting.
 The location of the IR Blaster is important due to the infrared line-of-sight technology. Meaning, the IR Blaster must be able
to "view" or "see" the device's infrared receiver without obstruction. Usual locations include the front of a joystick or
display, and front of an armrest.
6. Secure all cabling and wires to the power wheelchair base.
5.2 Programming the IR/Mouse Module
Programming should only be completed by qualified individuals. Programming can be accomplished using a Professional SD-Card, the MK6i Remote
Hand Held Programmer (HHP), or the MK5 Remote HHP.
1. Set up each device to be controlled. Refer to Enabling IR Devices on page 11.
2. Activate IR control in each of the desired drive modes (1 through 4). Refer to Activating IR Control on page 11.
