Operation
The Scoot Control consists of the following parts:
- Control panel: control the Scoot ControlNote: The control panel is slightly different for the R-net and the LiNX version.
- Handlebar: rubber handle at either side to steer the wheelchair
- Left and right throttle: to move the power chair forward and/or backward
- 3.5 mm jack to connect an external keypad
- Built-in sounder: to be used as horn
- R-net or LiNX bus cable
Horizontal movements of the handle bar will result in a steering action of the wheelchair (turning).
In combination with the thumb throttle it is possible to move the wheelchair in any direction.
- Standard configuration: right throttle = forward, left throttle = backward
- If both throttles are operated simultaneously and that would result in conflicting direction, the chair will stop driving
Warning: Do not hang things (e.g. backpacks) on the Scoot Control
or the throttle. This might damage the throttle and the device. Furthermore, removing items suddenly from the throttle might lead to unintended movement of the power chair if it is not in stand-by mode.
CAUTION: Pushing harder on the throttle will not increase
the speed of the power chair. To increase the speed, press S6 or change the settings of
the power chair.
CAUTION: When you hold the left or right throttle down for
more than 1 second during the stand-by mode, a beep will sound. This is to alert the
attendant that the Scoot Control is in stand-by mode and that the wheelchair will not
react to the throttle movement. The user has to release the throttle in order to control
the power wheelchair again.
