14.0 Omni Operating Principles
14.1 Omni Driving Characteristics
The Omni has been programmed to suit the SID, the
powerchair's drive performance has been programmed to suit
your needs. The powerchair's speeds, acceleration rates and
braking rates can be adjusted to meet exact requirements.
Refer to your health care professional or authorized dealer.
Before test driving the system ensure there is sufficient space
in which to drive the wheelchair, and that you understand how
to stop the wheelchair quickly.
Firstly, refer to the operating instructions for the type of SID in
use. Ensure that you fully understand each SID command.
It is advisable to initially select the lowest speed setting and
allow yourself to become familiar with the controls before
increasing the setting.
The Omni also contains a training function, whereby any of the
SID's directional commands can be disabled. For example,
the left and right commands could be disabled, in order to
allow you to become familiar with driving forwards. Refer to
your health care professional or authorized dealer to ensure
these values are comfortable and safe.
WARNING!
Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for any losses resulting
from unsuitable values.
14.2 General Operating Principles
When the Omni is powered-up or awoken, a screen such as
in Fig 14.0 will appear. Power-up can be via the On/Off button
on the front panel or via a switch connected into the External
On/Off Switch Jack; while wake-up is via the User Switch.

Forward and Reverse SID commands will change the
highlighted line on the menu. It is also possible to program an
automatic scanning sequence, which will highlight each line in
turn. Refer to your health care professional or authorized
dealer.
At the right hand end of each line, there will be either a > or a
number surrounded by < >, i.e. < 3 >
A > symbol indicates that a Right SID command (or a User
Switch operation when using a Single Switch Scanner Type
SID) will enter that function.
A <3> display indicates that Left and Right SID commands (or
a User Switch operation when using a Single Switch Scanner
Type SID) will change the selection for that function. The User
Menu can provide the following functions.
