13. What does the ‘padlock’ symbol represent on an R-net Joystick Module LCD?

The ‘padlock’ symbol is indicating to the user that the R-net Joystick Module is in a locked state.

This feature prevents unauthorized use of the powerchair. Depending on the chair manufacturer’s programming preference, the JSM can be unlocked in one of two different ways - either with a security key (our part number SA74784) or via a sequence of key presses and joystick movements.

To unlock the R-net JSM with a security key, follow the instructions listed below…

• Use the ‘on/off’ button to switch the control system on. The ‘padlock’ symbol will be displayed on the screen.
• Insert the key into the JSM charger socket until a short ‘beep’ is heard and then withdraw it.
• The standard ‘drive’ screen will be displayed - the controller is now unlocked.

To unlock the R-net via the sequence method, follow the instructions listed below…

• Use the ‘on/off’ button to switch the control system on. The ‘padlock’ symbol will be displayed on the screen.
• Deflect the joystick ‘forwards’ until the JSM beeps.
• Deflect the joystick ‘backwards’ until the JSM beeps.
• Release the joystick. There will be a long beep and then the standard ‘drive’ screen will be displayed - the controller is now unlocked.
