4 — ATTENDANT CONTROL
Pressing the Mode button longer than one second while the joystick is in
neutral will select the Seat mode. The Mode LED will go dark, and the LED
corresponding to Actuator 1 will be illuminated in the chair icon. Actuator 1
is automatically selected when first entering Seat mode. Moving the joystick
to the right cycles through the options: Actuator 2, then both together, then
Actuator 1, etc. See Seat menu, page 28.
When the attendant control is used to select seat modes, the corresponding
chair icon component on the handcontrol’s LCD display also lights up.
INDICATOR LEDs
The indicator LEDs on the attendant control provide information about the
battery, the mode, and (when in Seat mode) which actuator is active.
The tri-color Battery LED codes are as follows:
Solid RED = low charge
Solid AMBER = partial charge
Solid GREEN = full charge
Flashing RED = empty; need to recharge
Flashing GREEN = overvoltage warning
Sequencing RED-AMBER-GREEN = charging in progress.
The tri-color Mode LED codes are as follows:
Solid AMBER = Attendant Speed Mode 2
Solid GREEN = Attendant Speed Mode 1
Flashing RED = fault
OFF = chair operating in Seat Mode.
The green Seat LEDs light solid in the appropriate segments of the chair icon when
operating in Seat mode. A flashing LED indicates an actuator driver fault.
WHO’S IN CHARGE: User Handcontrol vs. Attendant Control
The user handcontrol (1741) and attendant control (1742) share control de-
pending on the power-on sequence and the setting of the Attendant Takeover
parameter (see page 24).
Starting the system with the user handcontrol wakes up the powerbase.
The user handcontrol is in charge. If the On/Off button on the attendant
control is then pressed, the attendant control takes over and is in charge of the
drive and seat functions.
Starting the system with the attendant control wakes up the powerbase. The
attendant control is in charge. If the On/Off button on the user handcontrol is
then pressed, the user handcontrol will wake up and its Speed Mode indicator
will display an icon ( ) indicating the chair is operating under Attendant control.
The user can control the lights and horn, but not the drive and seat functions.
Depending on the setting of the Attendant Takeover parameter, the user
handcontrol may or may not be able to power down the system when both
controls are active.
