that automatically turns off the Shark if no joystick movement is detected within a
certain period (programmable).

displacing the joystick will bring the system out of Sleep mode.
When the Wake Up style has been set to Buttons only, pressing the On/Off button
ONLY will bring the system out of Sleep mode.
Driving SHARK – Moving the joystick will cause the powerchair to move in that
direction. The amount of joystick movement will determine the speed that the
powerchair will move in that direction.
A user may adjust the top speed of their powerchair to suit their individual needs or
environment by turning the speed control dial.
Simply turn the speed control dial fully clockwise to travel at top speed when the
joystick is pushed fully forward.
The top speed is progressively reduced as the speed control dial is turned counter
clockwise.
All driving parameters (speed, acceleration, etc) can be further programmed to suit
individual needs and preferences of each user.
