If there are obstacles in the travel path, it is important to
drive around them with a large margin of safety. On uneven
ground, the driving behaviour of the wheelchair may get out
of control. Therefore the speed must always be adapted to
the ground conditions.
The battery indicator and speed level are shown in the driv-
ing menu on the LCD display.
The joystick is used for driving (see fig. 21, item 1). The fur-
ther the joystick is moved from the centre position, the faster
the power wheelchair will travel in that direction.
The maximum speed with full deflection of the joystick de-
pends on the selected speed level. Releasing the joystick
automatically activates the brake function, which brings the
wheelchair to a halt. When standing still, the mechanical
brakes are automatically active so the power wheelchair
cannot move.
The power wheelchair has a programmable number of
speed levels (delivery condition = 5 speed levels). The "M"
button (see fig. 21, item 6) is used to increase the speed
level. After reaching the maximum speed level, the control
unit switches back to speed level 1.

Adapting the driving characteristics
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to incorrect configura-
tion settings. Modified parameter settings in the configu-
ration lead to changes in driving characteristics. In partic-
ular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or joy-
stick settings can lead to unexpected and therefore un-
controllable operating performance with a risk of acci-
dents. Always test the driving characteristics of the power
wheelchair after configuration / programming is complete.
Programming must only be completed by authorised per-
sonnel. Neither Ottobock nor the control unit manufacturer
are liable for damages (especially in combination with spe-
cial controls) caused by programming that was not prop-
erly / professionally adapted to the abilities of the wheel-
chair user.
Only specialist dealers can use a hand programming de-
vice, which is to be connected to the control panel, to adapt
the speed, acceleration and deceleration values to the indi-
vidual wishes of the user.
