Joystick
The joystick controls the speed and direction of your power chair. When you are not
pushing on the joystick, or when you release the joystick, the joystick will
automatically return to the neutral position, the chair will decelerate, as the
electromagnetic brakes are applied, and come to a smooth stop.
Pushing the joystick away from the neutral position will move your power chair in the
direction that the joystick is pushed. The farther forward or backward you push the
joystick, the faster your power chair will go.
The joystick display
The joystick display is a multifunctional visual display. This display provides three types
of information:
On / Off status;

Battery charge level;

Fault diagnostics.

Battery charge level
The joystick LED array is composed of 10 LEDs:
Three: Red;

Four: Orange;

Three: Green.

When all 10 LEDs are lit continuously, there is a full charge on the batteries. As you
use your power chair and the batteries discharge, LEDs in the array will begin to turn
off in descending order. A single lit red LED indicates the lowest state of operable
charge on the batteries. The batteries should be charged immediately.
Control system status indication
The joystick LED array is also designed to help you diagnose any problems with the
electrical components of your power chair. The LED array does this by flashing on and
off in a coded sequence. The battery gauge and maximum speed/ profile indicator
show the status of the control system.
Battery gauge is steady
This indicates that all is well.
Battery gauge flashes slowly
The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the battery as soon
as possible.
Battery gauge steps up
The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the chair until
the charger is disconnected and you have switched the control system off and on
again.
