LiNX® Control System
Sip and Puff is not the most maneuverable or
intuitive control method and therefore requires a
considerable amount of training. In the early tuning
stages, this is best done outdoors in an unrestricted
but safe area. Also the presence of an attendant is
recommended.
Driving
The drive function cards for the Sip and Puff are pre-set in
latched driving mode. For more information, refer to 5.5
Latched driving mode, page 39.
1. Puff hard into mouthpiece A to drive forwards.
2. Sip hard at mouthpiece to drive in reverse.
3. When in latched driving mode, puff soft into mouthpiece
to veer to the right.
4. When in latched driving mode, sip soft at mouthpiece
to veer to the left.

For more information about the calibration of hard
and soft inputs, refer to the service manual of the
LiNX system.
Stopping
A lipswitch B is mounted to the mouthpiece. This switch
can be used as an external stop switch, when in latched
driving mode. While you are in latched driving, you do not
need to give a drive input all the time, but the mouthpiece
must stay inside your mouth. As soon as the lipswitch is
pressed while driving, the wheelchair stops.
Changing function cards
The lipswitch can also be used as a mode function switch.
For difference between function card and profile,
refer to 4.2.3 User function card overview, page 17.
1. Stop wheelchair.
2. Short press lipswitch to change function card.
3. Long press lipswitch to change profile.
Operating the lighting functions and horn
Via a utility function card you are able to operate the
lighting functions with an external input. The utility function
card is part of one or more profiles and can be activated like
a drive or seating function card.
