via PushTracker / E3 will be given on both the SpeedControl / SwitchControl LED(s) and PushTracker / E3.

no flashing for power assist OFF.

you are able to push the wheelchair around with no power assist.
EZ-ON Power Assist Ready
[on PushTracker only / not on PushTracker E3]
With EZ-ON activated [see “SmartDrive Settings” in the PushTracker User’s Manual], hold your arm so the PushTracker is completely
horizontal [parallel to the ground]. When oriented correctly, the charging LED will illuminate blue [see graphics below], at which point,
DOUBLE tapping down on the PushTracker screen will turn power assist ON. Repeat these actions in order to turn power assist OFF.
This is a great feature if you have limited finger function that makes pressing the Power Assist Button difficult.
Wired Control Deactivation
[using SpeedControl / SwitchControl to deactivate Power Assist]
A SpeedControl / SwitchControl button press and release will ALWAYS deactivate the motor / power assist any time that the
motor is activated and driving. This is even if it is in the PushTracker / E3 power assist ON only state [see “Power Assist Ready”
section].
Note that the device will still be in a state of power assist ready after a SpeedControl / SwitchControl button press
deactivation, and it must be put in power assist OFF / standby state if you do not want the motor to be activated.
