Introduction
Intended Use of SmartDrive MX2+ App
The SmartDrive MX2+ software application (app) is intended to be used on the
Push- Tracker E2 (TicWatch E2) to operate the SmartDrive Wheelchair Power
Assist device. Refer to the labeling and documentation of other components or
product for their intended use, instruction, wireless, EMI and all other
specification / information.
Warnings and Safety Precautions
All warnings and safety precautions issued by one’s wheelchair manufacturer
must be heeded in addition to those stated in this and any other provided
manuals / instructions / guides, to include that provided within the
SmartDrive MX2+ app. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Use of the SmartDrive MX2+ app or the SmartDrive by anyone who has not received proper instruction from this manual, the SmartDrive User’s Manual and any other provided manuals / instructions / guides may result in serious injury or death. Use of the SmartDrive MX2+ app is to be ONLY on the PushTracker E2 (TicWatch E2) through its release in the applicable app Store(s) as made available by Permobil [SmartDrive] / Max Mobility.
Always inspect your PushTracker E2 for missing parts / damage prior to each use. Make sure your PushTracker E2 is charged before use. When crossing major roads, intersection, railway crossings or highways as well as when you drive steep, long slopes you should always consider having somebody accompany you in the interest of your safety.
The PushTracker E2 should ONLY be worn by the user sitting in the wheelchair with the SmartDrive attached. Always turn OFF the power assist [via SmartDrive MX2+ app] when parked to prevent accidental activation. Always turn OFF the power assist [via the SmartDrive MX2+ app] before taking the PushTracker E2 off of your wrist.
Tapping force does not need to be excessive or “hard”. Gentle, stiff wrist taps at a reasonable speed [i.e. one half (0.5) second between taps] is sufficient. Refer to the SmartDrive User’s Manual for complete instruction.
Always use caution when transferring in or out of the wheelchair. Every precaution should be taken to reduce the transfer distance and be certain the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving. Also always make sure the power assist is OFF [via the SmartDrive MX2+ app] when transferring to and from your chair. The PushTracker E2 has passed industry climate testing, and is considered swimready [up to 50 m]. Refer to the other provided manuals / instructions / guides for complete detail regarding its water restance performance. Ensure your device is running the latest versions.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Refer to the SmartDrive User’s Manual for EMI specifications.
Bluetooth Wireless Communication
Bluetooth wireless communication [2.4 GHz frequency band] is used by the PushTracker E2 to communicate to the SmartDrive when to activate/deactivate the power assist, send and receive signals from a smartphone, etc. The PushTracker E2 must be within 25 ft (8 meters) of the SmartDrive / smartphone to connect and communicate. The maximum output power of this technology is 10 mW, and the operation of this device in close proximity to other wireless devices [i.e. electromagnetic security systems, Bluetooth headsets, etc.] could cause the device to lose connection. Power assist is always deactivated whenever the motor is driving and there is a loss of connection; the SmartDrive will beep and PushTracker E2 will also give indication when this happens. Worst case coexistence testing was performed on the device to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Please contact Permobil [SmartDrive] / Max Mobility immediately for troubleshooting if continuous connection issues are experienced with the device.
Using Your PushTracker E2
Attaching Your PushTracker E2
The PushTracker E2 is designed to comfortably and securely attach to the top part of wrists of all sizes. It has an embedded accelerometer to recognize when you push, when you want to activate the power assist and also when you tap your hand against the handrim to deactivate the power assist. Additionally, it is equipped with an AMOLED screen and vibration motor to indicate different information, states and activations / deactivations that occur during everyday use.
The band on the PushTracker E2 is designed for most users; but if you have difficulty securing the buckle / clasp, it doesn’t fit right, or you wish to have one of a different color material, the band can be easily replaced with essentially any 0.87 in (22 mm) wide off-theshelf watch band of your choosing.
It is recommended that your PushTracker be worn snug on your wrist to get the most reliable recognition of your hand movement for SmartDrive operation, propulsion activity tracking, etc. Ability to operate / maneuverer the wheelchair can be affected if the PushTracker, watches, jewellery, etc. are worn loosely or positioned such that they can become loose and interfere with handrim operation.
Intial Set-Up
After powering on, follow the prompts closely on the PushTracker E2 to initially set up with your smartphone / device. If any serious difficulties are experienced during set-up, go to the Permobil [SmartDrive] / Max Mobility website for more information and support.
A Wi-Fi connection on the PushTracker E2 may be required to access the Google Play Store. If you do not have access to a Wi-Fi network in your location, set up and connect to a Personal Hotspot from your smartphone / device. Carrier or device restrictions and data rates may apply. [Skip if you do not have a SmartDrive] Upon successful completion of set-up, go to the Google Play Store app on the PushTracker E2, search for [i.e. “smart drive”, “smartdrive”, etc.] and get the SmartDrive MX2+ app.
SmartDrive MX2+
To start monitoring your wheelchair propulsion activity even if you do not have a SmartDrive, go to the Google Play Store app on the PushTracker E2, search for [i.e. “push tracker”, “pushtracker”, etc.] and get the PushTracker app [see the “Companion App” section for more details].
SmartDrive Pairing
Initial pairing of the PushTracker E2 to a SmartDrive is required, and this is
done in the SmartDrive MX2+ app. If the SmartDrive MX2+ app has not been
previously paired to a SmartDrive, turning power assist ON will initiate the
pairing. If the SmartDrive MX2+ app has been previously paired to a
SmartDrive, pairing can be done in the Settings menu on the app.
Power Assist Activated
After successful pairing, power assist is turned ON and the SmartDrive MX2+
app is connected to the SmartDrive, the Indication will flash blue. When the
SmartDrive motor is driving, the Indication will be solid blue. The Indication
will flash red when the SmartDrive MX2+ App is trying to connect or has lost
wireless connection to the SmartDrive. Whenever there is a change of state to
the SmartDrive, you will feel vibration as additional indication from your
PushTracker E2. When power assist is ON and the SmartDrive motor is driving,
the SmartDrive MX2+ app will display your current speed. The Indication will
light up with various colors to notify you of the SmartDrive’s current state.
Additional detail / information that is helpful in explaining different
features of the app and the SmartDrive is provided throughout the SmartDrive
MX2+ app [by clicking (i)]. Refer to the SmartDrive User’s Manual for its
operation information and instruction.
