1.2 Battery charge display
NOTE:
The battery charge display diode also serves as a status and error message display. For error
codes see Chapter "Error Codes and Diagnostic Codes" on page 17.
• All diodes illuminate: Maximum driving range!
• Only yellow and red diodes illuminate:
Decreased driving range! Charge batteries before starting
long journeys!
• Only red diodes illuminate:
Very low driving range! Charge the batteries as soon as
possible!
• Only one red diode flashes:
Battery reserve = charge batteries immediately!
Battery charge display
NOTE:
Total discharge protection: After a certain drive time on reserve battery power, the electronics
system switches the drive off automatically and the wheelchair will be immobile. Total discharge
reduces the service life of the batteries considerably.

1.3 Activating / deactivating the drive-away lock (Option)
Activating the drive-away lock
• Press the ON/OFF button (1) and hold it down for 4 seconds while
the remote is switched on. The battery charge display switches off
immediately. After 4 seconds, all the diodes illuminate briefly and
the horn sounds. The drive-away lock is activated.
Activating
Deactivating the drive-away lock
• Switch the remote on using the ON/OFF key while the drive-away
lock is activated. All the diodes on the battery charge display
illuminate briefly once. After this, a slow countdown is shown from
right to left.
• Press the horn button (2) twice before the countdown has finished.
You have around 10 seconds to do this. The drive-away lock is
deactivated.
Deactivating

1.4 Steering the wheelchair with the remote
• Switch on remote (ON/OFF key). The displays on the remote illuminate and the wheelchair is
ready to drive.
• Adjust the driving speed (rotary knob for driving speed - see section "Remote layout" on page
6).
Can the electronic system programming be adapted?
The electronic controller is programmed with standard values during manufacture. Your
Invacare® dealer can carry out programming tailored to fit your requirements.
Will the wheelchair not drive after switching on?
Check the drive-away lock (see chapter "Activating / deactivating the drive-away lock"on
page 9) and the status bar indicator (see chapter "Battery charge display" on page 8.).
