Battery Condition Meter
The battery condition meter consists of five LEDs arranged in an arc over
the on/off and horn keys. See figure 1. When functioning as the battery con-
dition meter, this indicates the status of the electrical system using LED
codes. For example, as the battery voltage drops, the number of LEDs
reduces from right to left. When the battery capacity drops to 10% or below,
the left red LED will flash.
Battery condition meter codes are as follows:
„ Left Red LED Flashing Slowly or Steady: Battery charge is low;
charge the batteries as soon as possible.
„ Red and Yellow LEDs Flashing: Battery charge is low; charge the
batteries overnight.
„ LEDs Scroll From Left to Right: The controller is in inhibit or
charging mode.
„ LEDs Ripple Side-to-Side Twice, then All LEDs Flash Quickly: The
joystick was not in the center position when the power was switched on, or
the controller system detected a fault; refer to “Fault Codes.”
NOTE: Your GC2 controller may be equipped with a battery charge
reminder feature. This feature will be activated if your power chair is
turned off AND it has been driven for 8 hours without being charged. If
equipped, the red LED on the battery condition meter will flash four (4)
times in 0.5-second intervals until the batteries are charged.
To change the speed:
1. Push the on/off key to power on the chair and the controller.
2. To increase your speed, turn the speed dial clockwise.
3. To decrease your speed, turn the speed dial counterclockwise.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power
chair, you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar
with your new power chair.
