Emergency Manual Operation Mode (Take Me Down)
If the Position Sensor for the Standing Actuator fails, it is possible that the Seating System may be stuck
in the standing position. Using the Emergency Manual Operation Mode, it is possible to return the chair to
a normal seated position, to allow limited use before a service technician can repair the wheelchair.
Another possibility is that a positioning sensor for an actuator fails, making it difficult to access the
electronics in the chassis or seating system. If this occurs, it should still be possible to use the Emergency
Operation Mode to move the seating actuators to place the seating system into a “serviceable” position so
that a technician can repair, replace and/or reprogram the electronics.
Read instructions completely before starting!
To access the Manual Operation mode:
1. Turn off the wheelchair.
2. Press and hold Button #6 and Button #8 on the ICS Switchbox.
3. While holding these buttons, turn on the wheelchair with the Power Button on the Joystick (or Input
Device).
All LEDs on the ICS Switchbox will glow Green, continue to hold Buttons 6 and 8.
4. When all the ICS Switchbox LEDs glow RED, release Buttons 6 and 8. (Approximately 30 seconds)
The Switchbox LEDs will oscillate Green to signify you are in Manual Operation mode.
IF the Switchbox LEDs do not oscillate Green, you are not in the Manual Operation mode, begin again.
While in Manual Operation mode:
The actuators operate at reduced speed while in the Manual Operation mode because the position
feedback information is not used to prevent collisions or pinching between the seating system and the
chassis.
Therefore, USE EXTREME CAUTION while using the Manual Operation mode and keep an eye on all
moving parts during travel to avoid damage to the seating system or wheelchair.
STAY CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS to avoid personal injury.
If any unusual noises are heard, RELEASE THE BUTTON IMMEDIATELY.
