10 seconds, the SHARK will turn off again.
Waking up from Sleep Mode
The SHARK will go to sleep after a period without joystick movement.
This period can be set with the Sleep Timer parameter. When the SHARK sleeps, it is
partially turned off to reduce energy consumption and to make sure that the
powerchair does not move when the user accidentally moves the joystick.
To wake up the SHARK

press any button on the SHARK or move the joystick**.
The SHARK turns on.
When a programmer is connected to the SHARK, the SHARK will not go to sleep.
If the SHARK goes to sleep during charging, the charging of the battery will continue.
