F. Calibration
It is possible to recalibrate the device in certain instances, such as when a
heavier knob is used or the device is used at 90º angles. To recalibrate the
joystick:
1.
Mount the joystick in the location of intended use.
2.
Ensure nothing is touching the knob throughout the calibration
process in order to get an accurate and successful recalibration.
3.
Turn power wheelchair off and ensure nothing is placing any force on
joystick knob/stem.
4.
Press and hold the red button inside the housing of the device with
a small allen wrench, paper clip, or other small object. (Fig. 2, red
button)
5.
As you continue to hold the red button, turn the power wheelchair
on. The LED status indicator will blink, alternating between red/blue.
6.
Release the red button, press it again for 1 second, then release.
7.
Check the LED status indicator light:
-BLINKING BLUE indicates that calibration was SUCCESSFUL
-BLINKING RED indicates that calibration FAILED
8.
Cycle power on the power wheelchair, and the LED status indicator
light (Fig. 3) should return to a SOLID GREEN until activated.
Unsuccessful calibrations are caused by the joystick having force in any
direction too far from the factory calibrated settings. If the LED status
indicator remains blinking or solid red, or for any additional help, please
contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
G. Troubleshooting
LED Status Indicator Light:
• Solid Green - Neutral. Device is ready, check all programming settings
per Set-up Guide.
• Blinking Green - Driving
Note: If LED is blinking green and joystick is not being touched or
defl ected, it is likely the joystick stem is bent - call customer service
for a Return Authorization number.
• Solid Red - Device needs service. Call customer service for a Return
Authorization number.
Problem: The chair is veering or not driving straight.
Solution: Confi rm that the joystick is mounted securely and the forward
indicator is facing forward. (Fig. 4)
If additional help is needed, please contact your Sunrise Medical authorized
dealer.
