Thank you for this video. When my chair was dropped off I didn't get much instruction. I just had the 4+ manuals to read! I am more of a visual learner so watching your videos was very helpful.😊
Seriously? They dropped it off without any instructions? No occupational therapist and tech to help you and to ensure the chair meets your needs/ Yikes! Here in Ontario, chairs are delivered to the shop and the tech, salesperson and an occupational therapist bring it to you and help you get started. They also come by in a month to see if everything's ok. I am sorry that you don't get the assistance you deserve.
A good little video. Thankfully I already knew about this and for that matter most wheelchairs have one of these menu's regardless of brand. You normally just have to try every combination of pressed keys to find it. That is how I found this menu.
I've had a Permobil M300 HD for five years now. My insurance is paying for a new chair and I am going for this one again. I love it! Very little repairs and such. With regular maintenence this chair is still in good nick.
Thanks for this video. My X8 Extreme chair was delivered yesterday and, with your help, I've got it set properly.
arent those things great?? ya can just blast straight thru the woods and go wherever ya want!
My clock has been wrong for five years! Today it will be reset!
Big Oof
Wow. I’m in awe 🫢 of your Chanel. I’ve been using a power chair for 19 years and I’ve been using a permobil for 10. Great information bro.
Thanks for the information now I know how to use the information on my powerchair
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU JUST SAVEED MY MOMS 4TH OF JULY
Thing said ism error code 8100 and I didn't know what the heck. But as soon as I held the two speed buttons together it worked
Cool vid. I'm sure it's helpful to many ppl. The time just changed here and I didn't want it confusing my sis. I'm not sure of the model of her chair but the LED screen, the little control panel on hers doesn't have speed buttons, it has a switch, but there are 4 oval shaped buttons around the screen part, and the top left one is the one you press and hold to access the settings menu.
yea.. this video was from a few years back.. there are new joysticks now, that are a bit easier to access the user settings with!
I’ve enjoyed watching your video’s. I’m getting my first chair as soon as insurance approves it!
cool! hopefully it helps ya move around easier!
Regarding that off-road chair, you mentioned… I can attest to the fact that if your chair is not an off-road chair, you will not fare well on a level grassed lawn. Thin tires and normal tire tread for hard top surface (no knobbies) is a recipe for disaster.
Wish I could change my top speed though. Miss those old school century motors. 10mph
century, as in bounder?? those things are FAST!!
Well if you got a joystick like that I have one like that but just with the on/off switch mode,profile and speed up and down I also have the qm 710 by sunrise medical but id try it if you turn the chair off and hold the horn and power button together for a few seconds it will turn on and put you in the on board programming you can change the speed,torque,acceleration and turn speed and actuators settings
Very cool tips. By the way. A pm m1 brake error message on my power chair screen brought me here.
its always good to check the wiring, and connections on everything.. sometimes the cables come loose from the main controller on the power base.. also flipping the brake levers a few times can make sure there isnt dirt in the contacts etc.. other than that, there isnt much else to fail.. except the brake coils themselves
Help! Sister spilled water on her R-net joystick. There were some 'unsealed' areas on the pad, so I'm sure water got in there. Now.....NOTHING on the monochrome joystick screen. On the separate button pad for the seat, lights blink when reconnected, but no movement while pressing buttons. My fear is a fried pc board. Anybody else experienced this? Love your videos buddy! Appreciate you doing this to help people like us. (I'm not in a power chair, but my sister is in a Perm. C3oo -- 2009 model)
If possible leave the chair off and try to let things dry out.. sometimes if a LOT of water gets inside taking it apart to dry is necessary… but it’s hard to troubleshoot issues till all the moisture is gone
I am legally blind and I use the Q6 Edge HD power chair. I know that it would be nice if these wheelchairs could send in real-time different error codes and any info that your chair is dong to your phone? Also, it would be nice if you could go into your phone and in real time you could change some of these settings much easier than having to go through the blocky menus on the Joice stick. If a person could create different trips and name them plus if there was a feature where it could use your Google Maps and allow you to share your location on a single basis. It would allow a person to know if you got home after an event safely. If your phone could track the mileage and if your chair went up or downhill etc this would be helpful when you need to report a problem to the wheelchair shop on the spot.
In the Diagnostics menu in that little settings screen and you go down to ICS it will show you a list of errors that were tripped on the chair if there is a glitch with one of the systems.
Nicely done.
Good video
I like the OBP menu 😁. Permobil locks it out, but my (about to be stripped for parts) Quickie has it enabled. Can brick the chair if you don't RTFM first. But great for when you need to adjust your profile for operating conditions. Will be interesting if I get a Bounder with R-Net. If I am stuck with a NuMotion Quantum 4Front build, I found out that Pride *does know* how to install R-Net instead of their watchdog nonsense.
yes!! quickie was one of the few brands that occasionally ships with OBP enabled! - if i HAD to keep my 4Front i would DEFINITELY R-net swap it.. and also swap out the brakes for something that's appropriately sized.. I'm going to be checking out the new bounders soon - (the version with the LINX controls) from day one i've wanted to try R-net on a bounder! - btw - do you get many 'traction control' errors on your 4front?
@@TotallyNormal- I don't have one (yet), but I know with the issues you have with the drivetrain I would look at it with a very cautious eye. I actually told my doctor to instruct NuMotion to select the Q700m or a Bounder 300+. The plus package is something I don't necessarily want, but I prefer the ST3. I could theoretically have them take the plus hardware on my backup chair (I have a ue1e programmer that is useless for my ue1h controller, buyer beware on ebay 🤐) and install it on my theoretical new primary chair, but I am feeling like it'd be better to keep my backup intact and use the primary chair (ST4) for trips to Seattle (hills in a Bounder Plus, the struggle is real!)
all very good points!! something to look out for on the new QM-/Q (quickie) series chairs... some of them have a forward movement timeout.. after 1-3 min ish (or something like that) they make you let go of the joystick to keep moving forward!! apparently someones joystick got caught up on a table in a restaurant and the chair went all crazy - so the lawyers forced them to put movement timeouts on the joysticks now!! to my understanding, they can be defeated in programming though...
My husband has a Quickie Q300. Guy brought it out, gave him a 10 minute instruction, and left. Would you please show us how to work the controls on this chair. He can either make it go, or move the seat around, but not both. Please help!!
Thank you!!! Very helpful!!
Thanks. This works for Any systems too.
ha! i used my amysystems chair in the video! didnt think there was that many of them out there :)
Bedankt
I got one of those chairs I think the set is on bacjwerds
I am helping out on a Quickie Q300M mini power wheelchair. It goes very slowly, batteries and motor are good. I assume there is some internal setting that is limiting the speed. Is there a way to adjust the max speed, either through a secret menu or via external programming? Thanks for any suggestions.
I get this message on my Quantum 600 "Error. Stop #35 Please contact local dealer or service" it use to say " Service Require" My chair keep stopping on me. Will clear trip distance clear this problem. The person that gave me this chair told me that this is a problem with many chair that travel beyond total distance setting thank you.
hey! gotta love used chairs! according to the technical documents - for the standard Q-logic controls -
error #35: Joystick Center Fault - Joystick disconnected or defective. Check if joystick is connected. -
I'd try calibrating the joystick - you need a programmer for that though.. also check all the connectors and make sure they're clean and tight..
does this seem to happen randomly, or after hitting bumps, or just after long distances?
Thank you so much I've learned a lot!... can you use batteries from my Quantum 4front2 on my permobil C300... Or, are they the same strength across the board. these batteries are about 1 year old... They look the same size...
Thank you, I've lost my Manuel and daylight savings time, and I needed to set the clock.
Hello, I just bought a new Permobil C500. The new truck reaches a maximum speed of 6 km/h. My old Permobil C500 was driving at 10 km/h. How do I increase the maximum speed limit on a new stroller?
thank you for the information !!!
Yea figured that but the programmers are so expensive.. I have a hoveround, I tried the two button , set but can’t increase speed
Hi i have 1 permlbile c300 turns on but when move joystick only display a joystick video animation on screen moving yo the right all times wont advance anything. Can you help me
Good morning, I have a problem with the permobil k450 mx chair It goes up normally but it can't go down. I'm worried because I can't find the solution. Help me soon. It's something that's blocked on the joystick.?
On my chair, if I hold the down the PROFILE button for a couple seconds I get to the same menu’s shown in this video. Try it….?!
Hi, I’ve got that control panel but it will only go on the slowest speed on profile. Any ideas how I can change this?
Hi, this is Gordy Johnson, Kip's dad From Wheelchair Rugby. Are you still in Portland?
Kip has a new Power chair for work. It is a Magic Mobility 4 WD X8, I think. I think it is the same joy stick that you are showing here. It is so hard to get any information about this thing. Could you contact me so I could talk with you about it? Thank you, Gordy
hey gordy! dont think i've got current phone numbers anymore.. ill ask around and see if i can find someone that we both still know! hah
Can you please do a "cripple tips" to change the top speed for chairs that have a been programmed with restricted speed setting. and thank you for this.
+muzzleray that unfortunately requires a hand held programmer or a computer connection cable :-/ I can do it.. but most people won't have one of those lying around- usually a trip to the dealer is required
What is the computer connection cable, I've heard it plugs into the charge socket ( like a mic lead) The (dealers) are a little cagey about such things here cos' of gov stuff - they done did laws for folks in chairs here to make em' suck even more
+muzzleray it's called a programming dongle - connects to the R-Net cable on the side, or back of the chair, and then connect to a PC via USB - these are available on eBay.. however the handheld programmers that most dealers have simply plug into the charging port on the joystick (XLR connector) these are the easiest method of adjusting speeds and limits etc
The only slight thing I might add to that answer, is that the 'handheld programmer' you mentioned, is called the 'Diagnostic Test Tool' and it connects to multiple joystick systems made by PG Drives. However when you connect the DTT to an R-Net joystick, you don't connect it to the charging port (Neutrik) but rather in-line to the R-Net control system between the joystick, the same as you do with the R-Net Programming Dongle.
You do however use either the charging port or a 'Molex 4-Way connector' when you it's connected to other joystick types.

For anyone in Sydney, Australia that's keen to make adjustments to their R-Net controlled wheelchair... I'm more than happy to enable the little known function called 'on-board programming by keycode entry' for your chair.
And with that feature now enabled, you can make on-board programming changes without needing an R-Net programming dongle to be connected to do so. Very handy to change speed/acceleration settings on-the-fly without a dongle!

What dose the scooter look like all put together
How do i change the sensitivity if the joystick settings. Mine was set to very touchy???
Hi. I have a Permobil with Bluetooth, allowing me to connect my R-Net Mouse to a computer. Recently, the computer hasn't been recognizing my chair/mouse via Bluetooth and was wondering if you have any tips to fix this issue. It would be great if you could please let me know. Thanks.
My M3 is new to me 180 miles had one before can not get it to go over 3 mph no matter what combination of settings I try is there a special switch or setting
Have you tried to put a F5 motors in a F3 chassis?
hi, great video. any chance you can help with changing the profiles in a quickie sunrise 700M.
Can you get us a programming key. Why are they so hard to find?
Where can I send you a movie with a joystick diagnosis? Now the joystick does not light up at all. The first error was related to the lifting of the chair. I have a picture of her. It is a c500 car with verticalization. Since 2011
just updated the video description.. send a DM on twitter.. videos can be sent there also with the message link :^)
im trying to repair a wheel chair with this style control . i'm not sure where to find model or year on it . the care center my uncle is in pushed it against a sink and burned out one drive motor . i found replacement motors but now it drives in a fairly hard left turn . is there a way to program that out or am i screwed? i couldn't find any way to dm you.
Bummer I'm locked out of even the user settings menu as described here. Probably have to chase up a dongle and software as I'm locked out of holding down horn too. Kind of a bummer, my profile shows no distance, mph, or time.
I have a perm Mobile with omni sip and puff Controller and no joystick, but getting a "Omni 2F01 center joystick" error. How do I center the joystick when I don't have a joystick?
i think there is a calibration setting for the pressure needed.. but not sure about the centering error.. still figuring out programming on the sip and puff setups. sorry im not more help on this one
Dangerous Question #1: If I remove a Monochrome Joystick and configure the chair with a color joystick so it has clock settings, an odometer, or other features that monochrome does not allow me to set and save those settings, will they still be displayed if a monochrome joystick is reinstalled? Or are those features unique to the color joystick? It sounds like there is a chip in the joystick that sets things up but is that where the configuration is stored after its configured? Thank you for these instructional videos :-) :-) :-)
ya might have to email me on this one lol yes - but with a few caveats.. need a bit more info :^)
There's more you can do on those type of joysticks to get to a different menu like how you can turn sound on/off when you reverse and things like that
Yea - programming mode with the boot up sequence lets ya change all kinds of stuff! It's not enabled by default on most chairs unfortunately
It's not, but if you do it or ask dealers to enable it. It was enabled on my chair then I hit that restore to default and couldn't do it after lol, so I asked my provider/dealer to enable it and I'm good now. Gotta say I love it
Mine is set to km instead of miles- can this be changed?
yes, but unfortunately not from this menu - a handheld programmer, or computer with an R-Net Dongle is needed. most dealers have them available if they perform repairs etc..
Hello;
At 02:45, that is my joystick.
How do I change my speed?
Thank you in advance!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Hi so I just got a new heavy duty joystick on my promobile because I kept breaking the one with the toggle switch so now I have the one the joystick that is shown in the video in the first part but when I hold down my speed control button simultaneously the user menu does not pop up so I was wondering if you knew how to get around that
Please help, I have this same chair, but it doesn't go fast, just the slow speed
a lot of times the seating has speed inhibitors that slow the chair down... theres a lot of models and brands etc, so its hard to say what could be the issue - but checking the limit switches and making sure the seating isnt tilted too far etc is a good place to start
smart
Howdy, I use a Permobile 350 and raised my chair to reach something, now my chair is stuck on turtle mode after I ‘lowered’ it. Can anyone offer any suggestions to remove this restrictive mode that won’t go off duty? I don’t have the same wiring as the 300 I saw posted. When I tried to get inside (back up my ramp), I am slower than a worm. No exaggeration. I had to wait until a neighbor came home and saw me in my chair just sitting on my ramp and asked was I ok. I wasn’t. I put the chair on manual and he pushed (very heavy and he lifts weights) to get me up my ramp. I haven’t been able to use it in my home since, I just crawl & drag stuff now.
This chair is useless. I have plenty of crazy stories from this 350 Permobile but I need the help with ‘turtle model’ first. The process of changing modes, lowering/raising hasn’t worked.
For later reading, more crazy stories if interested -
When it was first delivered to me by The ‘store’ after a 2-year wait (the PT finally acknowledged that he lost my approval prescription paperwork , evaluation results, meeting notes, etc. ) so he hadn’t ordered anything all that time. They required me to get retested, evaluated etc all over again for another prescription. Let alone I had a different insurance company, it was a mess.
When it was delivered, both footplates would hit the two front tires and chunks of rubber were already pryed out of the tires edges. The wheelchair cushion had a hole in it and there was no plastic covering the cushion (it had obviously been used). I complained to the delivery guys and they said they couldn’t take any of it back. I later used a bed pillow. I kept the 350 parked in my home for a year because I couldn’t use it. After they stopped responding to my requests - telling me they were working on getting new tires and had researched, but that Permobile didn’t have a fix for it and I’d have to keep my chair elevated and the legs extended to avoid additional chunks of rubber being knocked off. At first it caused me to not be able to use my Chrysler mini van because it was too small for my ‘extended’ chair, I have a new van since. So now the chunked areas are almost even with my flat bald tires since it been 8 years and I have no tread.
Last year one of the footplates broke off across the middle of the plate as I was putting my foot down on it. I imagine it would be considered metal fatigue?? I had to unscrew the back bottom of the footplate off to avoid cutting my ankle - after it knicked me a few times. Yep, I now put both feet on one plate. So just a couple of crazy issues and experiences with this chair. I dread ever going through the process these days. I don’t have the willpower to go through the insurance and rehab, therapists, stores, etc. a the process. I’m 62 and just waiting to ‘be taken’.
Ok, so thanks for the help with turtle mode and for listening to my sagas. Happy 2024 to you all.
I have a black and ... (non-colour?) display
Hi there, I have a problem which is there is lock on the screen and the chair doesn’t move at all.
what brand, and model of chair is it?
This is not seecreet, it is standart menu in wheelchairs from Medicco
Yeaaa haha I was surprised how many ppl didn’t know about it... plus CLICKBAIT!! LMAO
Hello, I have a question, I drive a senior mobile Meyra CL 415, I am driving AGM batteries 200 amps at the moment, I live on the mountain and take care of myself, I would like lithium batteries in my mobile because, according to various videos, they last longer, my manufacturer said But I think the lithium batteries are not so good if you put too much strain on them the gel batteries are no longer an option for me they often broke after half a year do you have any experience with lithium batteries in your wheelchair? Thanks for the info!
hey! so i haven't published anything yet on lithium swaps.. there's a LOT of factors to consider.. as well as the cost of building a SAFE battery setup :^)
Thanks for the tips. My dad got a M300 from the VA, the company they bought it ffrom dropped it off and left. No setup. So through the powers of the intarwebz I have fitted it to him but now he has a joystick error 080b. I did the make sure stick is clear and turn it off/on and it did not clear. Took stick apart. everything is plugged in. Anyone got ideas?
Not sure if you've covered this in a video, but the 1 problem I have is I've no idea how to put it in manual so it can be pushed. I've looked all through the manual, the place that shows doesn't match my chair. People have looked and there are no obvious levers.
what type / brand of chair do you have?
Umm it's a Permobil I think. I don't have the manual in my care. I gave it to someone to hold for me so I wouldn't lose it. I'll have to get back to you on Monday.
sounds good... let me know! we'll figure it out!
how do I gain access to profile 4 of speed my chair only currently has three profiles the fourth one is locked
it depends on the chair and how it was setup.. there can be anywhere from 1-6 different speed profiles - however ive found more than 2 isnt really necessary.. indoors, and out.. then just use the speed paddle to fine tune :^) BUT a programmer is needed to make those changes
Thats not true I'm hitting the same button its not working
How do I go faster in tilt mode
Any way to turn off the “beep” sound?!
Haven’t found a way to turn off the startup sound on Rnet controller chairs unfortunately.. there’s a setting for it, but turning it off has no effect :-/ other than covering the hole on the bottom of the joystick with electrical tape!
I am a new user and would love to see an explanation of my LCD on my Quickee Q700! I panic when a bus is waiting for me,but it would be great to get some sort of instruction card that can go with me on what mode does, and what profile means!!!! Thank you!
hey! so the different profiles are essentially different drive styles.. they have different acceleration rates, turning rates etc.. and within each profile, you can adjust the overall speed of that profile with the + / - buttons. for example.. i have a profile that's setup for running around outside with maximum acceleration speeds,and fast turning / maneuvering. then a separate profile that's a lot less aggressive for indoor use, and is overall slower speeds and acceleration rates
for most people 2 profiles are all you need. one indoor and one outdoor.
the mode button switches between functions on the chair.. driving around, adjusting the seating, and sometimes other options like bluetooth etc..
usually hitting the mode button will get ya back to the main driving screen, then ya can move around. (might have to push it more than once depending on how chair is setup)
hopefully some of that helps a little :^)
Totally Normal Thank you so much! That helped a lot. I want to get into my chair more, but unfortunately we have been sick here for most of the month. Then I get anxious when it is time to drive it. I can get around inside well, and my daughter goes outside with me to keep practicing speeds, driving on a straight line etc. That helps me a lot. The Access bus drivers here in San Diego are also very kind. And Patient. I just have to go out and around the house more! Thank you again for all of your great advice! Proud to B
Does anyone know how to put a chair into outdoor mode? I've gone through "Mode" and "Profile" and all I can find is "Indoor 1 and 2".
depends on how the chair is programmed. most R-net chairs can have up to 5 profiles setup - but not all manufacturers do that. a lot of chairs ship with only 2 speed profiles. usually the highest number profile (2 in your case) have the settings turned up most of the way. the labels, and profile numbers have nothing to do with how fast the chair can go.. they're just 'containers' for different groups of settings depending on where you're running around. a chair could be tuned so that profile 1 is the fastest.. just depends on how it was setup originally. hopefully this helps!
please tell me how do i chang the settings on the speed
Hey, bud do you know if there is a switch or breaker on a C300 like the F3 I just got. I want to store the C300 and disconnect the power so the battles don't completely drain while setting.
not typically on the C300 chairs... they usually have a glass fuse INSIDE thats a bit annoying to get to :^/
ive been wrong before though! check the back cover to make sure! lol (they made a bunch of oddball stuff back then)
@@TotallyNormal- Ok will do thanks a bunch hows the buss life treating you? good, I hope great Vloggs btw. Oh, I've been meaning to ask you if those aggressive tires you ordered on your F3 are still available?
i just bought a pair here - - - buildmywheelchair.com/permobil-aggressive-tread-flat-free-foam-filled-tire-3w-x-14t-black/
that price is EACH tho - gotta buy 2 :^)
the foam is quite soft compared to other tires
Question i have the same joytsick, but its stuck on turtle mode , it will pop out of turtle for a few seconds then back to slow , the chairs 2 years old a quickie s-646 se any easy fix to this issue?? thank you for your time
you have an old quickie with R-Net electronics? i didn't realize they made those! usually theres a sensor or switch somewhere related to the seat position that locks the chair into 'low-speed' mode. does adjusting the seating seem to make any difference?
Do you by chance know about reading the dates on replacement parts - ie: motors has 0219 & 1810
sorry - haven't been able to find any way to reliably decode the date stamps.. they all seem to be a bit a different code between models and years..
How did he get the chair moving so fast outside? Mine only goes 2 mph! I wish I could set it to move faster!
Press the right speed button where it should allow you to change the speed with the orange highlighted bar on the joystick
Can you lock your chair when not in use to keep children or joy riders from using it??
if you have an R-Net chair- this will work - ruclips.net/video/Gg45zztbPUk/видео.html
What if you don't have the two buttons on the speed? Mine has one lever that has a small turtle and a larger turtle. How do you get to the extra settings? This is for a M300 Corpus HD
it should be under the little gear icon - i think its the top left button next to the joystick screen.. press and hold it till the menu appears :^)
Do you know what to do with a M1 Brake Error?
Great video.
check the connections on the main controller.. and maybe flip the brake lever a few times.. sometimes things get loose and/or full of dirt!
I have the Permobil F3. Same menu as you showed but mine won't display my mileage on the main menu. But, it DOES have the Display option.
funny you mention that.. i just got a hold of a chair yesterday, and im having the same problem..cant get the trip or odometer to show up.. ive been digging thru the software with my programmer, trying to find out whats going on.. no luck so far.. but il let ya know when i figure it out!
@@TotallyNormal- any update? Just got a fully loaded F3 2019 Version
haven't been able to figure anything out on that.. some chairs seem to work, and others dont for some unknown reason.. :^/ ....even if you change the settings
How do I change the speed on a hoveround ... without a programmer ? It’s just way to slow for me my kids walk faster ... I’m not disabled got it from a friend to play around with
unfortunately they dont let ya change the settings onboard.. you'd need a handheld programmer..
or slam some bigger tires on it! lol
Help !!! The following information appears on the joystick screen: System error JSM 0111 What I can do in Romania are not services.
hmm im not finding that error code.. what brand is the chair? and is anything else on the screen?
How do I get into that menu with head controls, I don’t have that speed up and down buttons do I hold down power off and menu button?
if its a permobil, theres a similar key sequence on the OMNI display.. but they've made some changes recently.. send me a DM on twitter if ya want - can probably find it in the service manual :^)
what does it mean when the speed mode lights are flashing .The ambulette who takes me to the doctor was kicking the wheels and disengaged the battery in the back ..I finally got the battery connected but now the speed mode lights are flashing and the chair won't move I have the M300 without the lcd screen
have you checked the brake levers? there's also any number of things that could have become disconnected.. :^/
@@TotallyNormal- can you tell me where the brake levers are ? I will look it up here on youtube
@@TotallyNormal- This is frustrating because I live on my own and my daughter is out of town the wheelchair repair company is not in til Monday...Thank you so much for responding so fast!!
on the M-300 theyre in the front.. black plastic knobs that slide left, or right. look at this picture.. theyre the black tab on the top sticking up. one on each side images.app.goo.gl/E6EnW9RofNxNGkmv7
Hi there would you be able to help me take “⚠️m1 brake error “ off my chair to get it running?
I'd start with checking the connections.. make sure the motors are plugged firmly into the controller.. and flip the brake levers on and off a few times, power cycle the chair - if nothing changes.. parts might need replacing..
👌👌👌👌😍😍
I've got a problem recently: A " JSM SYSTEM ERROR 8111 " message on the display when switching on my Permobil C400. Have you ever come across to this problem?
hmm that error code isnt in any of my service manuals... when does it happen? and does the chair move at all?
Totally Normal UFN you can‘t find it in the service manual. It happened 1 week ago and I spoke to the manufacturer. Probably they have to replace the whole joystick assembly.
How do u change the time its in military time and how do u set the thing that says indoor 1 i want it at 3
the '24hr' or 'military time' is at 0:56 in video
changing the names of the speed profiles require a programmer unfortunately
Hey thanks for the tips, I was able to change my screen to while instead of blue which for me is far easier to see and reset the time on my Permobil C 300.
I have a question for you, if you don't mind. We have a Kia Sedona that we use to transport my chair in. So I have to get out of my chair and my husband puts the backrest down and with the help of some alloy ramps loads the chair into the back of the Sedona, to transport. I noticed recently that my old Quickie Pulse has the same control as my P C300 with the same wiring as my C 300. So I wondered to make it easier for my husband to get the wheelchair into the car could I just unplug the control of my old chair and plug it into the back of my new chair to make it easier for my husband to load and unload the C300 into the back of the car? Would it do any harm considering the old controller was from a completely different chair. Or would it need a new program or something to get rid of any old information out of it ?
Also, when I purchased my C300 many years ago It had the separate set of button's that control the different seat functions controlling them but I said I would rather control all the functions from the one controller. So although the set of button is still wired and in the same place they have been switched off. I am having some neurosurgery soon that will stop my whole C spine (neck) from moving at all. With that in mind I would love to be able to have the use of those separate buttons again. Do you happen to know how to restart those buttons again?
Thanks in advance.
hey! so i actually tried this out just now on my F3, and it seemed to work!! when you connect new things to the R-Net wiring, it auto detects the new hardware, then when you power it on, after 20-30 seconds, it will prompt you to turn the chair off. then just count to 10, and power it back on, and the new hardware should work. it seems like whichever joystick you power on the chair with, is the one that will be able to control it. cool! i didnt think this would work, but it seems to!
hopefully im understanding the question correctly about the second joystick.. as for the seating controls.. you can always use the mode button on the joystick to adjust the seating positions, instead of the little green buttons.. let me know if this, and my other reply answers anything... :^)
@@TotallyNormal- Wow thanks so much for trying that and replying to my question. Very kind of you. I love that you are doing these sorts of video's to help wheelchair users potentially world wide. I don't know if it's the same in the US but here in Australia everything for people with disabilities has seriously, overly inflated prices. So any thing that can cut out having to go near retailers or others that want to charge astronomical prices for doing what we could possibly do ourselves makes me very happy indeed. So again thanks so much..
..pretty sure its like that all around the world LOL i know it is over here! thats why i was so excited to hear the replacement gimbal is "ONLY $65" lol i figured it would be at least $150 or more!
BTW i just posted a video where i tried this out for ya! here's a clip taken outta the longer video... ruclips.net/video/cfHHb-t7hkQ/видео.html
I have a Viking observer 4 x 4 Wheelchair with the Arnett control system hope I spelt that right. I have a brake 2 error code. The chair won’t move even on the brake levers and moved to the neutral position the chair console not the push. I’ve taken off the brakes and this is the only way I can manually push the chair but I’m still getting the error code. I’ve called several companies that sell this chair no one has any idea what does code means I dug a little and found I need to check the brake solenoid I can’t find a diagram and then of the sales companies can send me a diagram so I’m kind of stuck with this $4000 used chair I bought to hang around the yard with my boys. any help you can offer I would really appreciate it thank you
hey! if you use twitter, we can chat in the DM's (link below) or go to the website brokenwheelchairs.com and fill out the contact form at the bottom to send an email.. there's a few things that can be tested etc :^)
How do you work the Diagnostic on the Permobil F3 Corpus
theres not a lot ya can do as a user on these newer chairs.. most everything requires a trip to the dealer :^/
Sir, I have the remote programmer and would really be thankful if you could tell me how to adjust the turtle mode in recline and tilt it locks me out in the wrong position and I need the back tilted sliightly more than it will allow thanks Bob
what brand / model of chair do you have?
@@TotallyNormal- permobil c350
if you have a USB R-Net dongle.. i've got a guide written up for it! it might also be possible via the joystick and on board programming (if that function has been enabled on the chair) ill have to check on that part though.. do ya have a USB dongle, or a handheld programmer?
@@TotallyNormal- one you plug inline , rnet dongle, and thanks for responding
ok first step is to enable on-board programming - if ya haven't already... hmm im just looking i thought i had a guide on how to do that but cant seem to find it.. at any rate.. this might be easier to work thru via twitter DM's or email...(at least till i get the guide written) the video description has been updated with contact info :^)
hi i would like to know how to get my wheelchair out of m1 brake error
what model of chair do you have?
But where is boost mode?
my c4oo does not show distance on the menu
theres some of the older chairs that have a 'bug' which prevents the distance from showing up on the display.. ive had a couple chairs with the problem.... never figured out what caused it.. but one of them magically started working after toggling the settings a bunch of times!
@@TotallyNormal- thank you, im going to try to send you some Dominican cofee
My joystick stuck on me I can't unlock it can you help me
when you say "stuck" is there a picture of a lock on the screen? or is something else going on?
my son chair gets stuck in turtle mode every 6 week (for 3 years) someone has to come out and fix it/replace the part this ins beyond stupid is there any way I can fix it at home?
any idea what theyre replacing, or tweaking when theyre there?
@@TotallyNormal- I was told it's the sensor for when the chair is in the upright position there is so much electrical tape down here it's not even funny
dang.. lol what brand of chair/model?
i like to ditch sensors and just wire them in whatever position doesn't make the chair go slow EVER!
@@TotallyNormal- permobil m300
hmm they musta really screwed up the wiring then... only thing that really could do that is a seat lift switch...
How do i turn off the joystick auto off setting?
that requires a handheld programmer, or a connected computer with an R-net Dongle. unfortunately cant be turned off without some tools :^/
Do you know how to do a reboot on a permobil m300? The error message says JSM.
Thank you in advance.
what is the exact error message? there should be a code with letters/numbers
@@TotallyNormal- 7F00.
that error is for a bad cable.. a lot of times the joystick or other cables can become broken internally and may not be super obvious by looking at them. BUT if you have a swing away mount on your joystick, thats a very common spot for the cable to wear out/break
@@TotallyNormal- Thank you, I will look at the cables again.
hey bro again, on my grayscale joystick my settings dont pop up:( any idea why?
only works on the color display joysticks :^/
@@TotallyNormal- thx, i have one question about legrest, cause in my c500 it is in the lowest position:( how can go up with him and block at the position good for me? cause its moving up but sliding down everytime.
@@wolandphotography if the chair has 3G seating, this video shows how they work - sometimes the strap on the back can come loose.. ruclips.net/video/SUqIWUcFB8o/видео.html
How do I unlock (lock) the M300?
most of them are the same.. press and hold the power button till you hear a beep to lock. then push joystick forward and hold till another beep is heard. then backwards and hold - wait for the beep again. then its locked.
to unlock, turn on chair normally, and when ya see the lock indicator on screen, forward--wait for beep, backwards, wait for beep
@@TotallyNormal- Thanks
Do you know where I can buy the top keypad for that controller?
ive been trying to find parts myself, but have been unable to source any.. as far as i know, the joystick gimbal itself is the only part thats available to buy. i could be wrong.. but haven't seen anything i the last few years :^/ maybe find a broken on on ebay and swap them out...? good luck!
I thought they taught wheelchair users how to do that stuff. They always have me and everyone else I know. It's not like it's harmful stuff. Not trying to sound unappreciative of what you do, I just thought it was common knowledge.
yea it depends.. ive encountered people needing to make a service appointment and pay a co-pay just to change the clock! so figured id post this.. not all the companies out there are so forthcoming with information... unfortunately..
thanks for watching!
That's insane! I also read through the manual and ask questions while they are still with me. Like, why hide info like that? I'm glad you did this. You've earned a subscriber. 👍
@@suzannemenuet947 I have the QM-710 there are 2 sets of settings one is the basic stuff which you get to by holding left turn signal the other is advance settings to get to it you power off chair then pressing the horn and on at the same time to you hear the beep release and there you change speed torque turning and reverse speeds
check out the top of page 64 in the technical manual.. it explains the procedure. depending on the chair, and the factory settings, some chairs have this programming mode enabled by default, but a lot of them also do not. (those ones require a laptop dongle, or a handheld programmer to change settings) permobilus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/R-net-Electronics-Technical-Manual-v6.pdf
if you have the newer style of joystick the process is similar, but hold the power toggle as if it were a regular power button.
good luck!
Hello can we change language to english in the joystic
I have sks swiss viva grand the joystic in swiss language
To change the language, you need an R-Net USB programming dongle, and there’s an option in the software for languages
