Speed Settings

The Remote Plus speed settings range from 1 to 5. Typically, the slowest speed setting is 1 and the fastest speed setting is 5. The settings
are indicated by the number of lights that are lit.
NOTE: The speed settings are preset at the factory. If your authorized Pride provider changes the order of these
settings, please make note of these changes. Contact your authorized Pride provider for more information.
To select a speed setting:
1. Press the on/off key to power on the remote.
2. Press the mode key once.
3. To increase chair speed, push the joystick to the right. Each time you push the joystick, you will increase the speed setting.
4. To decrease chair speed, push the joystick to the left. Each time you push the joystick, you decrease the speed setting.
5. Once you select the desired speed setting, press the mode key once to keep the setting or push the joystick in the
forward or reverse direction. The chair will resume operation at the selected speed.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you have your speed on the slowest
setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
Power Accessories
If your power chair is equipped with power accessories such as a power seat or power elevating leg rests, you can operate them
through the remote keypad. Contact your authorized Pride provider for information on how to operate these accessories.
Off-board Charger Socket
You may use an off-board charger to charge the power chair batteries through the 3-pin socket located on the front of the
controller. See figure 20. The socket may also be used for reprogramming the controller by using a Penny & Giles Programmer,
should this be necessary. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not exceed 13 amps. Contact your
authorized Pride provider for more information.
Controller Communications Cable
The controller communications cable provides the joystick module with a connection to the power module. See figure 18.

Power Module

Typically, the power module is mounted to the power base. See figure 3. The power module provides a power interface for the
joystick module. It routes the battery power to the motors and other powered accessories such as lights and power seats.
Actuator Lighting Module (Not Shown)
The actuator lighting module is also located on the power base. The actuator lighting module provides a control and power
interface between the power module, the lights, and/or the power seat actuator.

Sleep Mode

Your Remote Plus controller has a sleep mode feature. Sleep mode is a built-in circuit that automatically shuts off the main power if the
joystick is not moved in any direction for approximately five minutes. The battery condition meter lights on the keypad indicate sleep
mode by blinking once every five seconds. To restore power and continue, push the on/off key twice.
