Sip and Puff is not the most manoeuvrable or intuitive control method and therefore requires a considerable amount of training. In the
early tuning stages, this is best done outdoors in an unrestricted but safe area. Also the presence of an attendant is recommended.
Driving
The drive function cards for the Sip-N-Puff are pre-set in latched driving mode. For more information, refer to 4.10 Latched Driving Mode, page 37.

For more information about the calibration of hard a nd soft demands, see the service manual of the LiNX system.
Stopping
A lipswitch B is mounted to the mouthpiece. This switch can be used as an external stop switch, when in latched driving mode. While you are in
latched driving, you do not need to give a drive demand all the time, but the mouthpiece must stay inside your mouth. As soon as the lipswitch is
pressed while driving, the wheelchair stops.
Changing Function Cards
The lipswitch can also be used as a mode function switch.
For difference between function card and profile, refer to 2.2.3 User Function Card Overview, page 8.
