It is designed to allow the user to have complete control over chair movement and speed. The controller has been pre-programmed to meet a typical user’s needs. The program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer. WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability, and braking. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller. PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES Before operating the FLIGHT Controller, please read the following. These guidelines are provided for your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the controller system. • Turn off the power to the controller when transferring to or from your power chair. • Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power chair owner’s manual. Failure to heed the above warnings can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. FLIGHT Controller Basic Operation Instructions Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI) WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles. Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m. WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may causeunintended movement of your electrically-powered mobilityvehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of theseitems while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid cominginto close proximity of radio and TV stations. WARNING! The addition of accessories or components tothe electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase thesusceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your powerchair in any way not authorized by Pride. WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itselfcan disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems. NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your controller off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride or your authorized Pride Provider to report the incident.
