Battery voltage indicator
The battery voltage indicator lets you
know how much charge is left in your
batteries.
The window display on the control
panel shows the following indicator
lights (from left to right):
Red+Yellow+Green = Fully charged
Red+Yellow
Red
The best way for you to use the indi-
cator is to learn how it behaves as you
drive your wheelchair. Like the fuel
gauge in a car, it is not completely
accurate, but will help you avoid run-
ning out of "fuel".
The indicator gives you a more accu-
rate reading about a minute after you
start driving the wheelchair.
The voltage indicator also serves as
a "fault indicator" for the wheel-
chair´s electrical system. See page
68 for more information.
= Half charged
= Charge the batteries
Maximum speed indicator
The Maximum Speed Indicator has
three functions:
1. Indicates Adjusted Speed
Indicates the adjusted speed at which
the wheelchair is set.
1 - 2 lamps = Low speed
3 - 4 lamps = Medium speed
5 lamps = Maximum speed
2. Indicates Locked Control System
When turning on the wheelchair and
the control system is locked (see
page 32) the indicator will be rippling
up and down. When the system is
unlocked, the indicator stops rippling.
3. Indicates Limited Speed/
Driving Prevented
If the speed of the wheelchair is being
limited or driving prevented for safety
reasons, the indicator flashes contin-
uously. The most common cause is
that the seat is in the elevated posi-
tion (limited speed) or when the
wheel locks are disengaged (driving
prevented). When the seat is lowered
back to its lowest position or the
wheel locks are engaged, the indica-
tor stops flashing.
