VII. OPERATION
2. Battery Charge Level
The joystick LED array is composed of ten (10) LED's.
♦ Three (3) red
♦ Four (4) amber
♦ Three (3) green
When all ten LEDs are lit continuously, there is a full charge on the batteries. As you use
your power chair and the batteries discharge, LEDs in the array will begin to turn off in
descending order. A single lit red LED indicates the lowest state of operable charge on
the batteries. The batteries should be charged immediately.
NOTE: To ensure a dependable battery charge, we recommend that you charge the
chair's batteries overnight. Doing this will prolong the life of the batteries and spare you
loss of operational power while you are using your chair normally.
3. Control System Status Indication
The joystick LED array is also designed to help you diagnose any problems with the
electrical components of your power chair. The LED array does this by flashing on and
off in a coded sequence. The battery gauge and maximum speed/profile indicator show
the status of the control system.
Battery Gauge is Steady
This indicates that all is well.
Battery Gauge Flashes Slowly
The control system is functioning correctly, but the battery should be charged as soon as
possible.
Battery Gauge Steps Up
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the wheelchair
until the charger is disconnected and you have switched the control system off and on
again.
Battery Gauge Ripples
The joystick has been displaced (OONAPU) while the control system is switched on.
Release the joystick to clear the error.
Note that joystick OONAPU (Out Of Neutral At Power Up) is not a fault. Simply by
removing your hand from the joystick and allowing it to return to the neutral position,
the error will immediately clear. If the condition persists after removing your hand, the
joystick may be damaged. Consult a Golden Technologies representative.
