H. Power chair programming
a. Switched vs Proportional - On board programming shown as an example.
PC programming can also be utilized.
i. Start with the Omni turned off.
ii. At the same time, press and hold down on both the green power
button and the profile button (P).
iii. The Omni will then power on, followed by a chirp sound. When you

3 Direction Driving - Mode and Forward/Reverse Toggle Set Up -
Setup 1 - Short forward to toggle forward and reverse; user switch for mode.
a. Ensure powerchair port is set for 3 direction driving.
NOTE: For 2 switch or 3 switch driving, make sure that F/R Auto Toggle is set to "ON", and that F/R Auto Toggle Time is set. For
proportional driving, F/R Auto Toggle Time should be set for 2 seconds or more. This will cause a 2 second delay between
pushing the buttons and the chair moving, but is recommended to allow the user to tap the buttons in order to change the
direction of driving. In 2 switch driving there is also a small delay in pushing of either button or turning. This is in order to allow
for tapping the buttons to switch driving direction. Also in 2 switch driving, make sure that the turning speed is not too high
for the user to easily operate the chair. To access this setting, as also noted below, from the first on board programming
screen, select Omni > Port 1 or 2 > Controls.
