2.1 General safety instructions
Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:
• The operating consoles have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility on typical,
representative vehicles and comply with the appropriate EMC standards:
EN 12184: 2014, ISO7176-21: 2009.
• Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic field may influence the driving performance of your
wheelchair, like the fields of mobile phones, power generators or high-power energy sources.
On the other hand, the electronics of your wheelchair can affect other electronic appliances
too, like alarm systems of shops and automatic doors. We therefore advise you to check your
operating console / wheelchair regularly for damage and wear, since these may enlarge the
interference.
• Be aware that the surface of the operating console may get very hot due to solar radiation or
heating devices. Be careful when touching.
• Make sure that the controller does not become colder or hotter than the allowed minimum
and maximum temperature, see the wheelchair user manual.
• Before switching the wheelchair on, be aware of your environment/situation. Adjust your
speed accordingly before driving off. We advise you to use the slowest speed setting to drive
indoors. For outdoor driving you can adjust the speed to a suitable speed at which you feel
comfortable and safe.
• Do not touch the connector pins. If you touch the pins, they can become dirty, or they can be
damaged by electrostatic discharge.
• If the wheelchair has not been fitted with a hand guard for the operating console, be aware
that your hand will not be protected from crushing, for example while manoeuvring towards a
table.
• The XLR connector on the controller is to be used exclusively for the intended purpose of
charging the battery. The warranty will lapse if any unauthorized device is connected to this
port.
• Make sure that the battery charger that is used with the vehicle has a drive-inhibited function
that is correctly connected for use with the controller. This drive-inhibited feature is intended
to prevent the chair from driving while the battery is being charged. If you are not sure, ask
your dealer.
• Immediately turn the controller off and consult your service agent if the vehicle:
is damaged;
o
does not behave the same every time;
o
does not respond normally, the way you expect it to;
o
