Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of the power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (center)
position, the electromagnetic brake will release and allow the power chair to move. The further you push the joystick from its
neutral position, the faster your power chair will move. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral
position, you engage the electromagnetic brake. This helps the power chair decelerate and come to a complete stop. You can
also use the joystick control power actuators.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick.
Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Out Of Neutral At Power Up
Your power chair joystick is equipped with Out Of Neutral At Power Up (OONAPU). If you power up the system and the
joystick is not in the neutral position, the system status ligjt flashes rapidly for either as long as the joystick is out of the neutral
position or five seconds. If this has happened and the all the segments on the battery condition meter are flashing, you may
have set a fault code. See “Fault Codes.”
Keypad
The keypad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains keys that you will use to control your power chair. See figure 16.
On/Off Key
The on/off key toggles the system power on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation,
do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause
the power chair to stop abruptly.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are sta-
tionary to prevent unexpected movement.
NOTE: If the joystick is not in the neutral (center) posi-
tion when you turn on the power, you may cause a fault
in the system. See “Out Of Neutral At Power Up.”
System Status Light
The system status light is normally on when the system is powered
up, and off when the system is powered down. It will also flash trouble
codes when the system detects a fault. See “Trouble Codes.”
Magnetic Locking Area
Your power chair is equipped with a feature that enables you to “lock-
out” unauthorized users. For this function, you will need the mag-
netic key supplied with your power chair. If you lose this key, contact
your authorized Pride provider.
To enable the lockout system:
1. Hold the magnetic key on or near the key symbol. The system will
beep and automatically turn off.
NOTE: None of the remote lights should be lit.
2. Press the on/off key to turn on the power chair. The key symbol will flash, but you will not be able to drive your power chair.
This means that it is still locked.
3. Hold the magnetic key on or near the key symbol again to unlock the system. When the key symbol stops flashing, you
may turn on the power chair.
