CAUTION
Risk of uncontrolled driving behaviour
Falling, tipping, collision with persons or nearby objects due to interference from electromagnetic fields
► Switch all mobile devices off while driving.
► Turn the control unit off when it is not needed.
The power wheelchair is controlled by a VR2 control unit.
Because the control unit is programmable, it can be adapted to the personal requirements of the user; e.g. the
speed, acceleration and deceleration values can all be adapted.

8.6.1 Control panel

The power wheelchair is operated using the control panel.
The control panel is divided into the keypad, two LED displays and the joystick. The charging/programming recept­
acle is on the underside.
The control panel is used to switch the power wheelchair on and off, enter driving commands and display the cur­
rent status of certain functions and components.
