Display
Battery charge level (LCD screen)
INFORMATION
At temperatures of < 0 °C/32 °F the battery capacity drops by up to 35% in relation to the capacity for an outside
temperature of 20 °C/68 °F. This shortens the range of the power wheelchair accordingly. Moreover at low tem­
peratures the charge level displayed on the control panel can differ more significantly from the actual battery
capacity.
The "Charge level" LCD indicator is divided into 7 segments and shows the current battery charge level:
• Immediately after the power wheelchair is switched on, the battery indicator shows the battery charge level that
was saved before the wheelchair was last switched off.
• After brief operation, the battery indicator shows the exact battery status.
• A charge of 100% corresponds to 7 segments on the battery symbol.
• As the remaining battery charge decreases, the LCD segments turn off one by one.
• If only 1 blinking segment is shown on the LCD screen (or all segments are off), the battery is in a low voltage
state. Because further use will result in battery damage, the warning signal is also shown on the LCD screen.
The battery must be charged immediately.
• If all 7 segments on the LCD screen are flashing, this means that the battery is in an overvoltage state.
Because further use will result in battery damage, the warning signal is also shown on the LCD screen. Please
continue to drive at low speed only.
• The charging process is indicated by the battery segments lighting up one after the other. When the battery is
charging, the driving function is blocked.
