The battery indicator displays the battery volt-
age after the system test performed by the
electronic system after the operating module
has been switched on (5on page 39).
Less LED segments of the battery gauge are lit
as the battery voltage reduces.

11
Battery gauge
The battery gauge (5on page 39) displays
the existing battery voltage as follows:
The colours mean:
Green Batteries charged
☞The charging status corre-
sponds to the number of
green lit LEDs.
Yellow Recharging recommended.
Red Recharge batteries immediately.
☞An accurate battery indication is only given
during travel on a level surface.
☞Uphill/downhill driving can causes an
inaccurate indication.
Evaluation

Transport of lithium ion batteries
Protect the lithium ion batteries so that nei-
ther moisture nor foreign objects (e.g. small
metal parts, nails or other conductive mate-
rials) can get into the gaps of the lithium ion
batteries.
Consult your specialist dealer before shipping
or transporting a damaged lithium ion battery.
Safety information to lithium ion
batteries
Special care is to be taken with lithium ion
batteries.
Lithium ion batteries that have been dropped
are not to be used again, have them replaced
by your specialist dealer immediately.
Lithium ion batteries that have been drop
should not be stored in the apartment/
house.
Defective lithium ion batteries are not to be
used again, have them replaced by your spe-
cialist dealer immediately.
Only the lithium ion batteries supplied by us
may be applied.
☞Lithium ion batteries from other
manufacturers can lead to injuries or
material damages.
Do not damage, modify, heat, burn, short-cir-
cuit, disassembly or place lithium ion batter-
ies in fluids.
Only use the lithium ion battery to operate
your electronic travelling wheelchair.
Protect lithium ion batteries from tempera-
tures outside of the approved temperature
range for transport as well as storage.
☞Therefore view chapter Further techni-
cal data for model 1.054 on page 33.
Should the rare case of overheating or a fire
in the lithium ion battery occur, the battery
manufacturer recommends plenty of water
or sand for extinguishing.

charge the lithium ion batteries.
The guarantee is only preserved to its full ex-
tent when the included battery charger, sup-
plied by us is used.
Foreign chargers can cause severe damage
to the lithium ion batteries.
Never charge the lithium ion batteries in the
vicinity or in the presence of flammable liq-
uids or gases.
Never charge the lithium ion batteries in
rooms within which moisture deposits can
occur on the electronic travelling wheelchair
and/or the lithium ion batteries.
Never continuously drive the electronic trav-
elling wheelchair completely empty, this can
damage the lithium ion battery.
A deep discharged lithium ion battery may
not be charged again.
☞Have lithium ion batteries replaced
by the specialist dealer.
Only charge the lithium ion battery within
the indicated temperature range.
