8 Troubleshooting using the VR2 Hand Con-
trol
Always consult your Sunrise Medical authorised dealer when a
diagnostic fault has appeared on your hand control.
The battery gauge and maximum speed/profile indicator show
the status of the control system.
Battery Gauge is steady - This indicates that everything is
OK.
Battery Gauge flashes slowly - The control system is
functioning correctly but the batteries need charging as soon
as possible.
Battery Gauge steps up - The wheelchair batteries are being
charged. You will not be able to drive the wheelchair until the
charger is disconnected and you have switched the control
system off and on again.
Battery Gauge flashes rapidly (even with the joystick
released)
The control system safety circuits have operated and the control
system has been prevented from moving the wheelchair.
This indicates a system trip. i.e. the VR2 has detected a problem
somewhere in the wheelchairs electrical system.

Self help guide
If a system trip occurs you can find out what has happened
by counting the number of bars on the battery gauge that are
flashing.
Go to the number on the list which matches the number of
flashing bars and follow the instructions.
Slow or sluggish movement - If the wheelchair does not
travel at full speed or does not respond quickly enough and the
battery condition is good, check the maximum speed setting.
If adjusting the speed setting does not remedy the problem
then there may be a non hazardous fault. Consult your Sunrise
Medical Authorised Dealer.
Speed / Profile Indicator ripples up and down - This indicates
the control system is locked, refer to section 7.1. for details on
how to unlock the control system.
Speed / Profile Indicator flashes - This indicates that the
speed of the wheelchair is being limited for safety reasons. The
exact cause will depend on the build of the chair but usually
indicates that the seat is elevated
Actuator LED flashes - This indicates that the actuators may
be inhibited in one or both directions
