      If your Drive Medical scooter horn sounds involuntarily, it indicates the scooter has diagnosed a fault. First, ensure the wigwag paddle is released, then switch the scooter off and on. If the issue continues, recharge the batteries. If the scooter has diagnosed a fault, the speed display will flash and the horn beep in sequence. Count the number of flashes and refer to the table below. The problem might be Low Battery (charge batteries), Low Battery Voltage (charge batteries), High Battery Voltage (remove charger if plugged in), Current Time-Out (switch off and restart after 5 minutes), Brake Fault (check the freewheel lever is in the DRIVE position), or Wigwag Paddle (release paddle and restart without pressing the paddle).
