Installation
1 Define the position of the joystick.
When the arrow at the bottom of the joystick points to the front, a
forward movement of the joystick will result in an according forward
movement of the wheelchair.
If needed, you can change this positioning in steps of 90° with the
Configurator Software.
2 Place the mounting ring around the joystick housing.
3 Secure the Q2M half clamp to the mounting ring.
Use an Allen wrench to mount the 20 mm bolt.
NOTE: It is not advised, but you may mount the joystick without
using the Q2M half clamp.
CAUTION: Tighten the screws firmly, but not excessively. Excessive
force may damage the unit.
4 Slide the unit over a Q2M Rod, or any other 6 mm rod, to position the
Micro Joystick on the wheelchair.
A Q2M Rod D6 50 mm is included in your package, but you can use any
other Q2M Rod (e.g. a C- or S-Rod from the Multi Swing).
5 Place and secure the interface unit and all cabling on the wheelchair.

Operation
The movements of the joystick are translated into according movements of
the wheelchair, e.g. driving or menu navigation.
Common practice to navigate the wheelchair with the joystick is as follows:
•Direction: point the joystick into the direction you want the wheelchair
to move. The wheelchair then moves in that direction.
•Speed: the further you move the joystick from the default (center)
position, the faster the wheelchair moves.
•Stop: whenever you release the joystick, the joystick moves back to the
default (center) position and the wheelchair stops.
CAUTION: Avoid hitting obstacles during driving.
WARNING: When the LED light flashes and/or after every incident with
the wheelchair or the mo-vis device, contact your dealer immediately
to perform a functional test.
