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.

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).

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.
