User warnings and limitations of use:
NOTE / CAUTION!
Control of the powered wheelchair remains with the user
however when the button on the remote unit is pressed the
powered wheelchair's electronic drive inhibit function will
be activated. This will bring the powered wheelchair to a
controlled stop if it is moving, and will prevent the user from
driving the chair in any direction. The inhibit function will be
deactivated when the remote button is pressed once more.
NOTE / CAUTION!
Care should be taken to ensure the powered wheelchair is not
immobilised in a dangerous environment or position in use.
(E.g. on crossing a road or level crossing)
WARNING!
Although the drive inhibit function will bring a powered
wheelchair to a controlled stop Sunrise Medical Ltd strongly
recommends the fitting of a lap belt or harness to the chair,
and that the user should wear it at all times when occupying
the chair.
NOTE / CAUTION!
The stopping of the wheelchair is in a controlled manner,
therefore it must be recognised that there is a finite distance
to stop the wheelchair and it is not an emergency stop (dead
stop).
NOTE / CAUTION!
The remote stopping functionality of the wheelchair is wholly
dependent on the integrity of the radio communications
link between the transmitter (key fob) and the receiver
(wheelchair). If the integrity of the communications link
is broken or corrupted, it may not be possible to stop the
wheelchair. Sources of communications disruption may be
caused by but not limited to-
• The battery power of the transmitter or receiver is not
sufficient to maintain communication.
• The environment obstructs the transmitted signal, e.g. the
wheelchair must be in direct line of sight, or absorbs the
transmitted signal, e.g. large metallic objects close by.
• The distance between the transmitter and the wheelchair
exceeds the range of the transmitting / receiving devices.
• Other interfering radio transmitting devices, e.g. garage door
remote controls, mobile phone, radio transmitting towers,
emergency services communications, power distribution
cables.
• Environmental effects; electrical storm, rainwater ingress
into the transmitting/ receiving devices.
