4 Displays on the operating and control panel

4.1 Battery charging display

The battery charging display shows you the current battery charging
condition.

It is divided into 10 colour-coded diodes (3 x red, 4 x yellow, 3x
green).

If an individual diode goes out, this shows the reduced battery
charging condition and therefore the reducing driving range of the
mobility device.

Display meanings:

All diodes illuminate
full driving range = batteries completely charged

three red diodes illuminate
reduced driving range = recharge batteries at end of journey

three red diodes blinking
extremely low driving range = recharge batteries as soon as possible
