IV. NOTICE– EAD BEFO E USE
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).
INT ND D US : The Quickie QM-7 Series Wheelchair is a bat-
tery operated device with wheels that is intended for medical pur-
poses to provide mobility to persons restricted to a sitting posi-
tion.
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. X — BATT RI S
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and
how to avoid injury.
Throughout this owner’s manual and on the wheelchair you will
see the icons listed below to identify warnings and potential haz-
ards.
WARNING! These warnings must be followed, failure to
do so may cause personal injury or may dam-
age the wheelchair.
SD: lectrostatic Discharge can damage printed
circuit boards.
V. EMI (ELECT OMAGNETIC INTE FE ENCE)
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
• Mobile phones
• Lap-top computers with phone or fax
• Other personal communication devices
• lectronic article surveillance systems
NOT – These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in
use.

V. EMI (ELECT OMAGNETIC INTE FE ENCE)
QM-710/715HD/720
6
118444 Rev. D
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. All After Market input device options, classified as breath con-
trols, Proportional controls, and/or Switched controls that can
be used with this powerchair, have an unknown effect on their
immunity level to different types of MI. They have not been
specifically 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.
H. H AD ARRAY SAF TY AND RFI
WARNING
If you have a Head-array, the sensors used in the product have the
potential to operate unintentionally if moisture or any substance
that is electrically conductive is present in sufficient quantities.
lectro magnetic interference from electrical power lines and cer-
tain types of phones can cause the sensors to activate.
These sensors are capacitive in nature, and can generate an elec-
tronic field, which can be affected by liquids and/or a source of
radio frequency Interferance (RFI). Any material that is conductive
has the potential to activate the Head-array unintentionally.
Avoid use under high power lines and around cell phones.
Avoid the use of a Head Array in rain or snow and protect against
the potential of spilled liquids on the sensors.
Avoid cell phones and electronic devices in proximity to the array.
Avoid any source that has the potential of (RFI).
Warn the user of this chair that the chair controls have the poten-
tial of acting erractically or making sudden stops, if (RFI) is not
avoided.
If any (RFI) causes erratic behavior, immediately cut off the power
to the wheelchair, and wait until the interference passes.

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 all safe
methods for transfers.
• 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.
WARNING
IF YOU MUST R ACH OR L AN, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you wish
to reach.
2. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as pos-
sible. This makes the chair more stable.
NOT –To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then
back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
3. Turn off all power to 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.
O. DR SSING OR CHANGING CLOTH S
WARNING
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes
while seated in this chair. To make the chair more stable, rotate the
front casters until they are forward.
P. OBSTACL S
WARNING
Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily
harm. If you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or
obstacle, ALWAYS ASK FOR H LP. Be aware of your riding skills
and personal limitations. Develop new skills only with the help of
a companion.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. ( ven a small
change in height may stop a caster wheel and cause your
chair to tip). You may need to:
• Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
• Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
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.
R. RAMPS, SLOP S & SID HILLS
WARNING
Your center of balance changes when you are on a slope.
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 some-
one help you.

VI. GENE AL WA NINGS
QM-710/715HD/720

118444 Rev. D
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. The ramp needs to be
wide enough so that the wheel won’t roll off of the side of
the ramp.
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.
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
NOT – 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 local codes and standards.
2. 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. Sunrise recommends that you avoid climbing and/or descending
a curb, single step, or other obstacle, and 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. DO NOT 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 recommendations may cause:
• A Fall or Tip Over
• Damage to the frame, wheels, axles or other parts, or
loose fasteners.

On/Off Button
The on/off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply
power to the wheelchair’s motors. Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair
unless there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life off the wheelchair drive
components.)
Horn Button
The horn will sound while this button is depressed.
Battery Indicator
This displays the charge available in the battery and alerts the user when the charge level is
low.
• Steady: This indicates that all is well
• Flashing Slowly: The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the
battery 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 conrol sys-
tem 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).
Maximum Speed/Profile Indicator
This is a gauge that shows the maximum speed or profile setting of the wheelchair. There are
five speed/profile settings– step 1 is the lowest speed and step 5 is the highest.
• Speed level active is indicated on display 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 sec-
ond light indicates Mode 2, and so on.
Speed Decrease Button
This button decreases the maximum speed setting or, if the control system is programmed
for drive profile operation, selects a lower drive profile.
Speed Increase Button
This button increases the maximum speed setting or, if the control system is programmed
for drive profile operation, selects a higher drive profile.
Mode Button
The Mode button allows the user to navigate through the available operating modes for the
control system. The available modes are dependent on programming and the range of auxil-
iary output devices connected to the control system.
