Battery Capacity" Indicator - Otto Bock B600 Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
Adapting the Driving Characteristics
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings. Modified parameter settings in the configu-
ration 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 acci-
dents.
Always test the driving characteristics of the power wheel-
chair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Otto Bock nor the control unit manufac-
turer 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.
The speed, acceleration, and delay values can only be ad-
justed to individual user requirements by the specialist deal-
er via a hand-held programming device that is connected to
the control panel.

6.3.5 "Battery Capacity" Indicator
INFORMATION
Immediately after switching the power wheelchair on, the
battery indicator shows the battery capacity that was
saved before the wheelchair was switched off the last
time. The exact battery status is displayed after driving a
short distance.
The battery indicator on the LCD monitor is divided into 7
segments that show the current battery capacity.
A charge of 100% corresponds to 7 segments on the bat-
tery symbol. Every time one segment disappears, this means
that the battery capacity has decreased by approximately
14%. At a total range of approximately 35 km over even
terrain, each segment corresponds to a range of approxi-
mately 5 km when the speed is kept constant.
When the last segment flashes, the battery must be charged
immediately.
If all the segments have disappeared and the battery symbol
is flashing, the battery is under voltage. Since any further
use will lead to battery damage, a warning signal also ap-
pears.
