IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE U E
A. CHOOS TH RIGHT CHAIR & SAF TY
OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles, sizes and
adjustments to meet the needs of the user. However, final selection
of a wheelchair rests solely with you and your health care profes-
sional. Choosing the best chair for you depends on such things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in
areas where you are likely to use your chair).
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as
positioning belts or special seat systems).
B. ADJUST CHAIR TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your
supplier, to fit this chair and adjust the controller settings for your
level of function and ability.
C. R VI W THIS MANUAL OFT N
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you,
should read this entire Manual and make sure to follow all instruc-
tions. Review the warnings often, until they are second nature to you.
D. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons. The
“Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:
1. V — MI
Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and
how it can affect your chair.
2. VI — G N RAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks
you need to be aware of before you ride this chair.
3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPON NTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about your chair. Consult your supplier
and your health care professional to help you choose the
best set-up and options for your safety.
4. XI — BATT RI S
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and
how to avoid injury.
Q-NOT – Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other
sections of this Manual.
Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair you will
see the icons listed below to identify warnings and potential haz-
ards. It is important to read and understand all of them and under-
stand them.
WARNING! These warnings must be followed, failure to
do so may cause personal injury or may dam-
age the wheelchair.
Q-NOT : Q-Notes are informative statements to help
further explain actions, warnings or product
detail.
SD: lectrostatic Discharge can damage printed
circuit boards unless handled correctly. When
the SD symbol is used in your owner’s man-
ual, be careful not to touch the areas that are
being referred to.
V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)
WARNING
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release
or chair movement:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never
turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your
chair is on. Use extra care if you believe that such a device
may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming
close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your chair off as soon
as it is safe to do so.
A. WHAT IS MI?
WARNING
1. MI means: electromagnetic ( M) interference (I). MI comes
from radio wave sources such as radio transmitters and
transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and
receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense MI in your daily
environment. Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not, and you may not be able to avoid them.
3. Powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference ( MI) emitted from sources such as radio sta-
tions, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two
way radios, and cellular phones.
4. MI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-
static discharge ( SD).
B. WHAT FF CT CAN MI HAV ?
WARNING
1. MI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
• Release its brakes
• Move by itself
• Move in unintended directions
If any of these occur, it could result in severe injury to you
or others.
2. MI can damage the control system of your chair. This could
create a safety hazard, and lead to costly repairs.

C. SOURC S OF MI
WARNING
The sources of MI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:
• Citizens band (CB) radios
• “Walkie-talkies”
• Security, fire and police radios
• Cellular phones
• Lap-top computers with phone or fax
• Other personal communication devices
Q-NOT – These devices can transmit signals while they are on,
even if not in use.
2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-Range Transceivers:
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers
and amateur (HAM) radios.
NOT – The following are not likely to cause MI problems: Lap-
top computers (without phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets
or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.
D. DISTANC FROM TH SOURC
WARNING
lectro-magnetic energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get
closer to the source. For this reason, MI from hand-held devices
is of special concern. (See C.1 above) A person using one of these
devices can bring high levels of M energy very close to your chair
without you knowing it.
. IMMUNITY L V L
WARNING
1. The level of M is measured in volts per meter (V/m). very
power wheelchair can resist MI up to a certain level. This is
called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of MI. It is
believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power
wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio
waves.
3. The configuration tested and found to be immune to at least
20 V/m is: Quickie QM-710 power wheelchair with a right-
hand mounted RN T remote joystick system, 18" seat width,
18" seat depth, dual post height adjustable armrests, fixed
tapered legrests with one piece solid footplate, and Gp 24
gel cell batteries.
4. The following specialty input device options, that can be used
with this powerchair have an unknown effect on their immuni-
ty level to different types of MI. They have not been specifi-
cally tested with the QM-710/715HD/720 and RN T control
system:
WARNING
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty
control input device known not to be immune to 20V/m, or not
known, should exercise extra care around known sources of MI.
WARNING
There is no way to know the effect on MI if you add accessories
or modify this chair. Any change to your chair may increase the risk
of MI. Parts not specifically tested or parts from other suppliers
have unknown MI properties.
F. R PORT ALL SUSP CT D MI
INCID NTS
WARNING
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake
release. Be sure to indicate whether there was a radio wave source
near your chair at the time. Contact:
Sunrise Medical, Customer Service Department at [phone].
G. MI FROM CHAIR
WARNING
The chair itself can disturb the performance of electromagnetic
fields such as emitted by alarm systems of shops.

2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well
ahead of your chair.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this chair are level
and free of obstacles.
Q. DRIVING IN R V RS
WARNING
Use extra care when you drive your chair in reverse. You may lose
control or fall if one of the rear wheels hits an object.
1. Operate your chair slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of
obstacles.
M. TRANSF RS
WARNING
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance
and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer
when the wheelchair seat is not below you. To prevent a fall:
1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your
chair. If you fail to do so you may touch the joystick and
cause your chair to move when you do not expect it.
2. Make sure motor brakes are engaged. This keeps the chair
from moving when you transfer.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe meth-
ods.
• Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
• Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a
safe transfer on your own.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are
transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possi-
ble.
6. Be careful of the footrests. If you can, remove or swing them
out of the way.
• Never stand on footrests when you transfer. Doing so may
damage them or cause your chair to tip.
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the
space between the footrests.
7. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
8. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This
will reduce the risk that you will miss the seat or fall.
N. R ACHING OR L ANING
WARNING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your chair. If
done improperly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in doubt, ask for
help or use a device to extend your reach.
To Reduce the Risk of injury and/or Damage to the Chair:
1. Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or
rise up off the seat.
2. Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat
to do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the
backrest.
3. Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch
yourself to prevent a fall if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down
between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the footrests while reaching.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage the backrest and cause you to fall.

R. RAMPS, SLOP S & SID HILLS
WARNING
The center of balance of your chair changes when you are on a
slope.
Q-NOT – “Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your chair is
less stable when it is at an angle. Never use this
chair on a slope unless your are sure it is safe.
When in doubt, have someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this chair on a slope steeper than
10%. (A 10% slope means: One foot in elevation for every
ten feet of slope length).
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or
oil film is present). A loss of traction may cause a fall or tip-
over.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression).
These may cause a fall or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small
as 3/4 inch (19 mm) can stop a front caster and cause the
chair to tip forward).
S. TO R DUC TH RISK OF A FALL, TIP-OV R
OR LOSS OF CONTROL
WARNING
1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can
do so without losing traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
• Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
• Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is
wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll
off the side.
4. Keep your chair moving at a slow, steady speed. Keep con-
trol over the chair at all times.
• On a descent, do not let your chair accelerate beyond its
normal speed.
• If the chair picks up speed, center the joystick to slow
down or stop.
• If you stop, re-start slowly.
T. RAMPS AT HOM & WORK
WARNING
Before driving on a ramp, survey the condition of the ramp. On
slippery ramps traction may be reduced causing your wheelchair to
slide.
WARNING
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel
ramp to meet all standards.
2. Q-NOT – The proper design will vary, depending on
such things as: the length and height of the ramp; the need for
an intermediate platform; landing size; doors, and the direction
of swing, and; whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your
chair from going over the edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every
one foot of slope length (approximately 10º).
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to
avoid a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does
not “bow” when you ride on it.
U. WH LCHAIR LIFTS
WARNING
Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you
move from one level to another.
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a
lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by acci-
dent and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be
aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not
prevent this).
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bot-
tom of the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When
in doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always position the user securely in the chair to help prevent
falls while on a lift.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of
the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct
approach. And slowly try again.
V. CURBS & SINGL ST PS
WARNING
1. It is recommended to climb and/or descend a curb, single step,
or other obstacle that a ramp or curb cutout is always used.
2. If you must climb or descend a curb, single step, or other
obstacle that is greater than 2.5", it is recommended to have
a person assist you in doing so.
3. In no case should you try to climb a curb, single step, or
other obstacle greater than 4" high.
4. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at your
own risk using extreme care and follow the following procedure:
• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed
• Go as straight up or down as you can over the obstacle.
Never turn when trying to climb or descend and obstacle,
doing so may result in a fall or tip-over.
5. Failure to follow the above procedures may cause:
• A Fall or Tip Over
• Damage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or
loose fasteners.

• For 0º pre-tilt use hole positioning number (X) on the packer module.
• For 3º pre-tilt use hole positioning number (Y) on the packer module
• For 6º pre-tilt use hole positioning number (Z) on the packer module
Seat-to-Floor Height:
Seat-to-floor height is accomplished by using the same hole number on both the front and
rear posts when raising or lowering the seated position.
WARNING
DO NOT Increase the front post height independent from the rear posts when providing
seating pre-tilt. Use only the Pre-tilt positioning holes on the Packer module (Figure 20).
NOT – For chairs configured with SPOT tilt, do not increase the Pre-tilt greater than 3º.
For chairs configured with seat elevator, do not increase the pre-tilt greater than 0º.
For chairs configured with SPOT tilt and seat elevator do not increase the seat-to-floor
height greater than 1” from lowest position.

IX. OPERATING GUIDE
A. P RFORMANC CONTROL S TTINGS
Q-NOT – B FOR attempting to check and/or adjust settings on your joystick, be sure to see
your Dealer or Clinician and have them make the adjustments if needed.
1. It is vital to match control settings to your level of function and ability.
2. Consult your health care professional and your supplier to select the best control set-
tings for you.
3. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months.
WARNING
Adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any change in your ability to:
• Control the joystick.
• Avoid running into objects.
B. ON BOARD PROGRAMM R OR DTT (DIAGNOSTIC T ST TOOL)
OR RN T PC PROGRAMM R (Optional)
WARNING
Program settings beyond the ability of the user can result in serious injury. Consult your
health care advisor before you alter settings.
The On-board Programmer or RN T PC Programmer lets you adjust the control settings of
the QM-710. Listed below are a few of the many settings that can be adjust via the On-
board Programmer or RN T PC Programmer. (See RN T OBP Owners Manual for full pro-
grammable parameters.)
• acceleration rate
• deceleration rate
• turn acceleration
• turn deceleration
• forward speed (max & min)
• reverse speed (max & min)
• turn speed (max & min)
• steer correct
Programming the Chair:
a. Access via OBP (On-board Programmer), DTT (Diagnostic Test Tool), or the PC
Programmer. ach of these require inline connection to the communication cable.
b. Program as needed.
c. Remove Dongle or recycle power.
NOT – Review the RN T OBP Owner’s Manual for more details on how to program your chair.
C. JOYSTICK STATIONARY
Your chair has an available programming feature called “Joystick Stationary” which can be set
by your dealer. This feature senses when the joystick is displaced from neutral, yet left in a
steady position for a predetermined period of time. The controller will automatically turn off if
the set time has been reached. This feature is designed to protect the user, batteries and elec-
tronics if the joystick is inadvertently displaced. There are two parameters that can be adjusted:
1. Joystick Stationary Time:
This is the time the joystick has to remain within the stationary range before the unit
will come to a stop. It can be programmed from 0 to 60 minutes in steps of one
minute. Select 0 to disable the function. Default setting is 0 (Disabled).
2. Joystick Stationary Range:
This determines the size of a region around the present joystick position. If the joy-
stick remains within this region for the stationary time the controller will stop. The
range can be programmed from 1 to 50, in steps of 1. Default setting is 1.
WARNING
Before turning on or adjusting these parameters, carefully read and understand the implica-
tions for use of these features, Joystick Stationary Time and Joystick Stationary Range. When
the “Joystick Stationary Time” is reached within the “Joystick Stationary Range”, the drive
motors on the chair will shut off. As an example, this will happen while driving in a straight
line for extended periods of time with no joystick movement. Once the drive motors turn
off, the user will need to turn the chair off and back on to drive.

D. TH RMAL ROLL-BACK
Your chair has a thermal roll back circuit. This protects the controller from damage due to
overheating. In extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease
the power to your motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When the
controller cools, the chair will return to normal speed.
. VR2 JOYSTICK ASS MBLY
The standard VR2 joystick controls the chair’s performance. It consists of the following parts:
1. Speed Control or Drive Mode Selection Buttons (A and B)
To decrease the speed level depress button A. Or, when 1- 5 Drive modes are programmed,
depress button A to activate lower drive mode(s).
To increase speed level, depress button B. Or, when 1- 5 Drive modes are programmed,
depress button B to activate higher drive mode(s).
Speed level active is indicated on display (C) by a series of five lights. One light indicates
slowest level currently active, while five lights indicates highest level currently active.
Drive Mode is indicated by a single light. The first light indicates Drive Mode 1; the second
light indicates Mode 2, and so on.
2. Battery Charge Indicator (D)
Displays the charge available in the battery and alerts the user when the charge level is low.
• Steady: Indicates that all is well.
• Flashing Slowly: The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible.
• Stepping Up: The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the
wheelchair until the charger is disconnected and you have switched the control system off
and on again.
• If the battery gauge shows red, yellow and green, the batteries are charged (bars 1-10).
• If the battery gauge shows just red and yellow, then you should charge the batteries as soon
as you can (bars 1-7).
• If the battery gauge shows just red, then you should charge the batteries immediately (bars 1-
3).
3. On/Off Button ( )
Turning the chair on or off is accomplished by depressing button .
4. Horn (F)
5. Joystick (G)
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and move the
joystick in the direction you want to go.
• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the motor brakes, allow-
ing the chair to move.
• The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral.
NOT – If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the chair will come to a complete
stop.
• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a stop and the
motor brakes will reengage.
• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time. This will
conserve battery power.
NOT – Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor brakes.
6. Joystick Boot (H)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture to
enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
7. Tilt or Lift Control (SC only) (I)
This button once depressed allows you to control the up and down movement of the tilt/lift.
Press button “I”. Then push the joystick forward to tilt/lift the seat upward or pull the joystick
back to tilt/lift the seat downward. Pressing button “I” again will allow drive operations to
resume.
