7.1.8 Battery Level:
This indicates the average amount of charge you have
in the batteries. Green indicates fully charged batteries
with reducing charge to the red indicator. Red indicates
warning and less than half-charged batteries, (7.1.9).
Please be aware that the meter reading will fluctuate
when accelerating from start or traveling uphill, this is
normal. The reading is more accurate when the scooter is
operating on flat level ground.
7.1.9 50% Speed Profile:
(Tortoise Button)
This button, changes the speed of the scooter to a pre-
set 50% of maximum speed and reduces the acceleration
and deceleration.
This is ideal when travelling indoor or within confined
spaces.
To return to normal driving, press the button again,
(Fig.7.2.4).
When this mode is active, the scooter speed can also be
reduced further by using the speed control dial.
7.2 CHARGING SOCKET:
WARNING!
The charging socket should only be used for connecting
the scooter battery charger plug to the scooter.
The charging socket should not be used to supply power
for any other device.
Connection of unapproved electrical devices may
damage the control system or compromise the EMC
performance of the scooter.
Always put the socket cover back over the charging
socket when the battery charger plug has been removed,

7.3 PROGRAMMING:
When the scooter leaves the factory, the parameters of
the controller are set to accommodate most driving styles
and preferences. However the scooter control system
is very versatile and will allow certain functions to be
reprogrammed.
If required, the programming socket, (located in the main
controller), will enable an approved Sunrise Medical
authorised dealer to reprogramme your scooter.
Your approved Sunrise Medical authorised dealer can
also gain useful service information via the programming
socket, from the scooter's on board diagnostics facility.
To programme the controller a special programming
device is required, (hand-held or PC software), which is
only available to your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer.
DANGER!
• Programming the scooter is only allowed via
authorised personnel trained by Sunrise Medical.
• Incorrect controller settings could cause driving
outside the safe limits and could result in damage or
injury.
NOTE: Sunrise Medical does not accept responsibility
for damages / injuries which result from unexpected
movement or stopping of the scooter due to inappropriate
programming or unauthorised use of the scooter.
