INFORMATION
If there is no user switch, an emergency stop can only be carried out via the on/off switch.
The decision to forego the user switch is made by the qualified personnel after carefully considering the situation
in which the special control is used.
6.15.5.3 Drive mode
The display with the defined entry point appears on the LCD monitor after it is switched on. Use the menu naviga
tion to select Speed level; to drive, operate the sip and puff control by sipping or puffing at the mouthpiece accord
ing to the sip and puff commands. Closing the mouthpiece with your tongue causes the system to maintain the
pressure or underpressure previously created by sipping or puffing. The wheelchair then continues its motion
without the need for continuous sipping or puffing.
The wheelchair can be braked using the following methods:
•
Sip and puff command for the opposite direction (fast stop)
•
No command – or move tongue from mouthpiece (automatic halt), as long as the control unit is not in Latched
drive mode.
The speed decreases until the wheelchair comes to a halt. It continues to drive in the desired direction when the
sip and puff command is reissued.
INFORMATION
The mechanical brake is automatically activated and prevents the wheelchair from rolling away when the wheel
chair comes to a halt.
