BATTERY CHARGING
You must use only the charger that is supplied with your
Compass ™ . The use of any other charger on this power chair will void the warranty.
Using unauthorized chargers may also result in severe damage to the batteries and/ or
damage to the chair. Using the wrong charger may also be a fire hazard.
Operational Range
Depending on the use, the terrain, and the driving conditions, the batteries of your
Compass
™
will provide fifteen to twenty miles of operation (with the use of NF22
batteries).
♦ We recommend that you charge the batteries when necessary. Battery charge
should be treated similarly to fuel in a car. You would not go on a long trip with fuel
low or fill up when almost full.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your Compass’s charging system is designed for your safety and for your convenience.
Follow the steps below to recharge the batteries.
1. Position your Compass ™ close to a standard wall electrical outlet.
2. Turn off the power on the joystick.
3. Remove the charger from the SEAT POCKET. See figure 24.
4. Insert the matching charger plug into the joystick’s charging socket that is located at
the front of the joystick. See figure 25.
5. Insert the plug at the other end of the charger power cord into a standard electrical
wall outlet.
6. Disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet and from the joystick charging
socket when the batteries are fully charged.
NOTE: The batteries will be fully charged in four to eight hours. A full charge is
indicated when the green light on the battery charger side panel turns on
and all 8 joystick LEDs are lit when joystick is turned on.
