Otto Bock Juvo - Sip and Puff Control; Product Description; Sip and Puff Commands

Function (standard setting): When the user switch is pressed, the control device switches from driving mode to
the menu. Here the user can control the seat functions or use additional functions, suchas environmental control
via IR.
In standard programming, the system first toggles through the individual seat functions. The "Exit" option is then
displayed, which can be used to return to Drive mode. If the user switch is pressed again while a seat function is
displayed, the system moves through the operating options for the specific seat function, i.e."Up", "Down" or
"Exit". The corresponding action can also be triggered by pressing the user switch at this level.
Pressing the user switch while driving triggers an emergency stop.
INFORMATION
The standard setting can be adapted to the user's abilities by the qualified personnel through technical program
ming. Have the qualified personnel instruct you in the specific function of the user switch.
Operating without user switch
The special controls assembled with the LCD monitor can also be implemented without a user switch. This can be
helpful if the user is unable to operate a user switch.
In this case the control device – depending on the programming – starts forexample in the menu. When the "Exit"
option is displayed, it is possible to return to Drive mode.
