For Audio Signal Indicatin please check the table.

Controller

To turn on the battery power gauge lights from left to right, press the button. To turn them off, press again.
In an emergency, you can directly turn power off by also pressing the power button.

Sleep Mode
If the joystick is not used for more than 20 minutes, the power will turn off automatically, and the system will enter sleep mode. System can be reactivated by pressing the power button.

Speed adjustment
The wheelchair riding speed can be adjusted according to the user’s preference and circumstances. Adjust speed by using the decrease button and increase buttons accordingly.

Speed is divided into five sections, in the following ranges: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% of the max speed.

First gear: 20% of max speed.
Fifth gear of speed: 100% of max speed.

Horn Button
Press the horn button to use the horn.

Battery Power Gauge
Battery gauge will function when power is on. The battery power gauge also indicates the remaining power. In the picture shown, the battery is powered. When only red or yellow LED lights are lit, this in- dicates low power and the batteries require recharging. Ensure using only fully charged batteries before embarking on long distance rides when charging is not possible. Do not use the unit if only red light is shown, as this means the unit requires charging.

Using the Joystick
To control the speed and direction of the wheelchair, use the joystick. The extent to which you push the joystick controls the moving speed. To power the unit on or off, always have the joystick in the middle po- sition. A signal will sound if the joystick is not in the middle position when turning on or off. To stop the signal, move the joystick in the middle. If the signal ceases to stop when you place the joystick in middle position, this may indicate a malfunction, please contact your dealer.
