The joystick display
The joystick display is a multifunctional visual display. This display provides three
types of information:
On / Off status;
Battery indicator;
Fault diagnostics.
Battery indicator
The joystick LED array is composed of 10 LED lights:
Three: Red;
Four: Orange;
Three: Green.
When all LED lights are lit continuously, there is a full charge on the batteries. As
you use your power chair the batteries will discharge The LED lights in the array will
begin to turn off in descending order. A single red LED light indicates the lowest
state of operable charge on the batteries. The batteries should be charged
immediately.
Control system status indication
The joystick LED array is also designed to help you diagnose any problems with the
electrical components of your power chair. The LED array does this by flashing on
and off in a coded sequence. The battery gauge and maximum speed/ profile
indicator show the status of the control system.
Battery indicator is steady
This indicates that all is well.
Battery indicator flashes slowly
The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the batteries as
soon as possible.
Battery indicator steps up
The power chair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive the power
chair until the charger is disconnected and you have switched the control system off
and on again.
Battery indicator ripples
The joystick has been displaced out of the neutral position while the control system
is switched on. Release the joystick to clear the fault. Note that this is not a fault. If
the condition persists after removing your hand, the joystick may be damaged.
Contact your Travelux dealer.
Battery indicator flashes rapidly
The control system safety circuits have operated and the control system has been
prevented from moving the power chair. This indicates a system trip, i.e. the VR2
has detected a problem somewhere in the power chair’s electrical system.

4.2 Up-down switch
The Travelux Venture is provided with a special up-down switch. This is an electric
adjustment; it helps you to reach for higher places. For example, high cabinets in the
kitchen.
The highest position will look like picture 2. The lowest position will look like
Picture 3. You can adjust this with the UP-DOWN switch, which you can find below
the joystick. On picture 4, you can see what the switch looks like. Push the switch to
UP to go up, and push the switch to DOWN to go down. Let go of the switch if you
think the chair is high or low enough. If you let go of the switch, it will stop going up
or down. If the chair is in the highest or lowest position, it will stop moving up or
down. This means that you can easily push the switch up or down until the chair
doesn’t move up or down anymore. Then you know that you have reached the highest
or the lowest point.
 Warning:
The Travelux Venture can only drive in the lowest position. Make sure that the

4.6 Control through tight spots
As you use your power chair to greatly increase your mobility, you will undoubtedly
encounter some obstacles that will require practice to manoeuvre smoothly and
safely. Below are some common obstacles that you may meet during the daily use of
your power chair. Listed with those obstacles are some driving tips that should help
you conquer them. Learn and follow those tips and you will be in control of your
power chair as you manoeuvre it through doors, up and down ramps, up and over
curbs, through grass and gravel, and up and down inclines.
Doors
Approach any doors slowly;
Check if the door has a door knob or a push bar;
Determine if the door opens towards you or away from you;
Do not try to use your own strength to open the door, learn to use the power of
you power chair to do the majority of the work for you.
If the door opens away from you
Use one hand to turn the door knob or to operate the push bar;
Use your other hand to control the power chair by gently operating the joystick
to move your power chair slowly forward;
Use your arm to push the door gently open;
Drive through the doorway;
If it is a self closing door it will close behind you;
If it is not a self closing door stop your power chair when it is clear of the door
and use your hand to push the door to close it behind you.
If the door opens towards you
Use one hand to turn the door knob or to pull the handle;
Keep your grip on the door knob or on the handle;
Use your other hand to control the power chair by gently operating the joystick
to move your power chair slowly backward;
Allow the power of your power chair to pull the door completely open;
Drive through the doorway while keeping your hand on the door to prevent it
from hitting or blocking your power chair;
If it is a self closing door, it will close behind you;
If it is not a self closing door, pull the door to close it behind you.
Curbs
Do not go up or down a curb that is higher than 4 cm;
Always use caution when descending any curb;
Approach the curb so that both back wheels of your power chair go over the
curb at the same time;
Never go down on a curb by traversing them. Doing this will cause the power
chair to tip over;
Go down a curb slowly to avoid a jarring bump. Use as little power as possible.

4.7 Motor braking system
Your power chair is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking.
This motor brake system is designed to work when the freewheel lever is in drive
position. When the freewheel lever is in drive position and the power chair is under
power, the motor will help slow down the power chair as soon as you take your hand
off of the joystick.
4.8 EMI / RFI
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, radios, wireless computer links, microwave
transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These electromagnetic (EM) waves are
invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets to the source of transmission.
When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and cause them to malfunction
or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are referred to as
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of radio frequency interference (RFI).
EMI / RFI and your power chair
All electrically powered vehicles, including power chairs are susceptible to
electromagnetic interference / radio frequency interference (EMI / RFI). This
interference could result in abnormal, unintended movement of your power chair.
 Warning:
Unintended movement or brake release could cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of power chair can resist EMI/
RFI to a certain level. The higher the lever of resistance, the greater the degree of
protection from EMI/ RFI –measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also
determined that current technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to
EMI/ RFI, which would provide useful protection against common sources of
interference. This product has been tested and has passed an immunity lever of 20
V/m.
