4- Introduction

2 Safety

Important safety instructions. Save these instructions.

ermobil is not responsible for personal injuries or property

damage resulting from any person’s failure to follow the

warnings and instructions in this manual, or from failure to

exercise good judgment.

2.1 Types of warning signs

The following types of warning signs are used in this manual:

WARNING!

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in serious injury or death as well as damage to the

product or other property.

CAUTION!

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in damage to the product or other property.

IMPORTANT!

Indicates important information.

2.2 Warnings

WARNING! Vehicle seating requirements

The Total Control Head Array is not a headrest. If you use the

wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle, you must replace the

head array with a headrest approved by the wheelchair

manufacturer. If you do not, it can lead to bodily injury.

WARNING! Difficulty of use increases

when tilted

If the seat or backrest is tilted, you will require more strength

to move your head outside the activation zones to stop the

wheelchair from moving. Be sure that you can always lift your

head away from the activation zones. If you are unable to do

so, the wheelchair can injure you.

WARNING! Drive extra carefully when

lifted or tilted

If the seat or backrest is lifted or tilted while the wheelchair is

on flat ground, drive at a low speed. If the seat or backrest is

lifted or tilted, do not drive the wheelchair on slopes or over

obstacles. If you do, the wheelchair can become less stable

and injure you.

Safety - 5

WARNING! Do not remove the covers

The electronic sensors are sensitive to water and moisture.

Make sure that the electronic sensors are protected by their

covers. Do not remove the covers. If you do, moisture can

cause the sensors to inadvertently activate the wheelchair and

you can be injured.

WARNING! Risk of water build-up

The electronic sensors are sensitive to water and moisture.

Avoid getting the covers wet. If they do get wet, for example

from wet hair or rain, the covers may retain moisture that can

cause an inadvertent delayed activation of the wheelchair and

you can be injured.

WARNING! Covers must be completely dry

before use

The electronic sensors are sensitive to water and moisture.

Make sure that the covers are completely dry, both inside and

outside, before replacing them on the sensor pads. Make sure

that the covers are fitted correctly on the sensors and are not

inside out. If any moisture remains in the covers, it can cause

the sensors to inadvertently activate the wheelchair and you

can be injured.

WARNING! Replace damaged or torn

covers

The electronic sensors are sensitive to water and moisture.

Make sure that the covers are whole. Damaged or torn covers

must be replaced with Permobil parts. If the covers get

damaged or torn, moisture can cause the sensors to

inadvertently activate the wheelchair and you can be injured.

CAUTION! Cleaning requirements

For minor spot cleaning, the covers can be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent. Turn off the power before

cleaning. If more thorough cleaning is needed, follow the

washing instructions on the cover. Make sure that the cover is

dry before replacing it.

IMPORTANT! Scrapping and recycling

Electronics should be disposed of responsibly in accordance

with local recycling regulations. Contact Permobil for informa-

tion about scrapping agreements in force.

6- Safety

IMPORTANT! Electromagnetic fields

The electronics in a power wheelchair can be affected by

external electromagnetic fields (for example mobile phones).

Similarly, the electronics in the wheelchair itself also emit

electromagnetic fields that can affect the immediate sur-

roundings (for example certain alarm systems in businesses).

Safety - 7

3 Overview

The Total Control Head Array is not a headrest.

It is a device that makes it possible to operate the

wheelchair with something other than a standard

joystick. It can operate all the modes and

functions of your power wheelchair. Your

healthcare provider will tailor the operation of

your head array system to meet your individual

needs and then they will train you to use your

Total Control Head Array.

Before you start using the Total Control Head

Array in public places, we recommend that you

try it out several times in an area with familiar

surroundings, so that you become comfortable

with operating your power wheelchair using the

Total Control Head Array.

8- Overview
