Joystick error LED panel

While the control system checks if an error has occurred, the LEDs
on the battery voltage indicator will wander backward and forward.
If the control system detects an error in the wheelchair electronics,
the battery voltage indicator LEDs will flash rapidly. To enable the
wheelchair to be driven again, make sure the joystick is in the central
position. Then switch the wheelchair off and on again. If this does
not work and the LEDs still flash rapidly, contact your service
provider.

Driving technique

The control panel electronics interpret joystick movements and
move the wheelchair accordingly. No complex user techniques are
required for normal driving, which is an advantage if the user is
inexperienced. A good way to get started is simply to move the
joystick in the direction you want to go. The wheelchair will then
move in the direction in which the joystick is pointing.
However, always remember to drive as gently as possible and to
avoid sudden braking and evasive maneuvers.
