Keypad
The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It contains
keys necessary to operate your power chair. See figure 23.
On/Off Key
The on/off key turns the VSI on and off.
WARNING! Unless faced with an emer-
gency 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 stationary to prevent un-
expected movement.
Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter is located in front of the joy-
stick. See figure 23. This is a 10-segment illuminated dis-
play that indicates that the VSI is powered on and also
gives the battery status, the VSI status, and the electrical
system status.
n Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Batteries charged; VSI
and electrical system OK.
n Red and yellow lights lit: Charge batteries if possible; VSI
and electrical system OK.
n Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge batteries as soon
as possible; VSI and electrical system OK.
n Rapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the VSI or the electrical system. Refer to “VSI Error Codes.”
n Ripple side to side of lights: The joystick was not in the neutral position when the controller was powered on. If you get “ripple
side to side of lights,” turn off the controller, allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.
NOTE: If you still get “ripple side to side of lights,” contact your authorized Pride Provider.
NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the first red light will begin to slowly
flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!
Speed Keys
There are two keys that control the speed. Press the speed increase key to increase the speed. Press the speed decrease
key to decrease the speed. The speed setting is displayed on the maximum speed indicator.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to
the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
