2.7 Safety Instructions for Controller Configuration
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configuration settings. Modified parameter settings in
the configuration can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In particular, changes to the speed,
acceleration, braking or joystick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore uncontrollable operating
performance with a risk of accidents. Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheelchair
after configuration / programming is complete. Programming must only be completed by authorised
personnel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control unit manufacturer are liable for damages (especially
in combination with special controls) caused by programming that was not properly / professionally
adapted to the abilities of the wheelchair user.
