The primary function of the joystick is to control the speed and direction
of the wheelchair. The further you push the joystick from the center
position the faster the wheelchair will move. When you release the
joystick the brakes are automatically applied.
COMMUNICATION CABLE
The Communication Cable carries the electrical signals to and from the
Power Module.

This socket should only be used for charging or locking the wheelchair.
Do not connect any type of programing cable into this socket.
This socket should not be used as a power supply for any other
electrical device. Connection of other electrical devices may damage the
control system or affect the E.M.C. performance of the wheelchair.
CAUTION!
The control system's warranty will be void if any device other than the
battery charger supplied with the wheelchair or the lock key is connected
into this socket.

the event of an LCD screen failure.

the control system on, the screen will flash the joystick
displaced screen (Fig.19.32, pg 76). You must release
and center the joystick to resume normal operation. If
