On/off button:
The On/Off button applies power to the control system
electronics, which in turn supply power to the wheelchair’s
motors.
CAUTION!
Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair unless
there is an emergency. (If you do you may shorten the life
of the wheelchair drive components).
Battery gauge:
The battery gauge shows you that the wheelchair is
switched on. It also indicates the status of the wheelchair.
Refer to chapter 8.
Locking/unlocking the wheelchair:
The VR2 control system can be locked to prevent
unauthorised use. The locking method is via a sequence of
key presses and joystick movements as detailed below.

Operating the control joystick:
When engaging the main On/Off button, allow a few
seconds prior to moving the joystick. This allows the system
to self check. If you move the joystick too soon, the battery
level indicator display will not illuminate until the joystick is
released.
If it is off null for more than 5 seconds a system error will
occur. Whilst this is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will
need to switch off and then back on to clear the system.
NOTE: This is a safety feature to prevent unintended
movement.

indicates if the speed of the wheelchair is being limited or if
the control system is locked.
