Selecting The Speed Levels - Otto Bock B500 Classic User Instructions

Usage
► Only use the product if all safety functions, e.g. the
automatic brakes, are functional.
INFORMATION
In dangerous situations, the product can be turned off at
any time using the on/off button. When the button is
pressed, the product brakes immediately and the electrical
functions cease. Malfunctions such as an insufficient sup­
ply of power to the controls are recognised by the soft­
ware, triggering an emergency stop or reducing the speed
of the product. A warning signal will also sound.
• Pressing the [On/Off] button (see Fig. 13, item 2) turns
the power wheelchair control unit on or off. The power
wheelchair turns off automatically if the control unit is
not used for an extended period of time.
• The power wheelchair brakes automatically and comes
to a stop if it is turned off with the [On/Off] button while
driving.
• The specialist dealer can use the parameter settings to
specify the default speed level or default menu of the
power wheelchair after it is turned on, according to the
user's requirements.

6.5.4 Selecting the speed levels

• The power wheelchair has a programmable number of
speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels).
• The speed level is increased by briefly pressing the
[Mode] button (see Fig. 13, item 4).
