Joystick Controller

All the controls and indicators necessary to drive your MPV5 are
located on the joystick controller. See Figures 1A - 1B to identify
your controller.
1. ON/OFF - Press to turn the system on and off.
2. System Status Indicator – Steady illumination means all systems
are functioning properly. A flashing display indicates an error is
present or the controller is locked. Refer to Appendix B (pages
50 - 51) for error codes and troubleshooting information.
3. Battery Gauge – Shows how much battery charge is remaining.
All lights lit means full charge. Recharge as often as possible.
4. Joystick – Controls speed and direction. The further you push,
the faster you go. To prevent an error code, do not push the
joystick at the same time you turn the power on.
5. Speed/Response Indicator – Indicates the currently selected
speed by the number of lighted segments. When all lights are
lit, you are at top speed.
6. Speed Up – Pressing the button increases speed.
7. Speed Down – Pressing the button decreases speed.
8. Horn Button – Press to make the horn sound.

Additional Features

Locking feature – Locks the controller. Refer to Appendix C
(page 52) for operating instructions.
Sleep mode – Your chair will either power down or go off if left idle
for 5 minutes. The system indicator may blink or the controller will
completely power off. Push the ON/OFF button twice to restart.
Fast braking – The controller has a fast-brake system. To stop
quickly move the joystick from the forward position to a full
reverse position and release the joystick. This will cause the
power wheelchair to stop more quickly.
