Special adaptation
There is now also another version available of the Micro Joystick: the P002-55
Micro Joystick Omni (5gr adapted). The movement is still 3.3 mm - 0.13 in,
but the operating force is now 5 gr - 0.18 oz.
NOTE: Before mo-vis can deliver this product to you, the user and/
or the dealer will have to declare that they have read and agreed to
specific risk mitigations. Please refer to the Micro Joystick Installation
manual for more information.
Operation
The movements of the control 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 control into the direction you want the wheelchair
to move. The wheelchair then moves in that direction.
•Speed: the further you move the control from the default (center)
position, the faster the wheelchair moves.
•Stop: whenever you release the control, the control moves back to the
default (center) position and the wheelchair stops.
CAUTION: Avoid hitting obstacles during driving.

to perform a functional test.
