Re: [QUAD-L] troubles
There are two programmers. A factory programmer and a dealer programmer. You won't find a factory programmer, but some used dealer programmers can be found at EBay. Make sure that you also get a owner manual for the programmer. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/15/2010 7:35:36 P.M.

Have a friend or family who is mechanically savy, or many times a local garage or mechanical shop will do the work and may not charge anything. Get all your manuals, keep record of s/n's, model, electronics version, and any information that you can. Mark all fuses and breakers as to what they control, if the motors take brushes keep extra on hand. I have an Invacare storm (3rd one) and have kept old chair for parts. Advise: If you have a good relationship with your repair person, tell him you want another chair for backup that matches what you have. Many times when someone gets a chair they junk the old one. IMPORTANT, ask the repairman and not the company. My guy takes the chairs and keeps them so if anyone has to pay from their own pocket, he sends the part and tells me to send what it is worth to me.

Re: [QUAD-L] chair's joystick controling tv, dvd, mouse
Like Naomi, I have been looking for a newer voice remote for the television. For the last eight years I have had an INVOCA (brand) voice remote but even when I first got it it was very unstable and therefore much too annoying to use. My husband found another brand a few months ago and wrote to them but they never responded so they are probably not in business anymore. Perhaps unlike many of you, I really don't like to watch television when I am up in the wheelchair. I prefer to watch any television (that I DO watch television) when I am in bed because I feel much more comfortable. When I am up in the wheelchair... I get too antsy and do not like to sit in one place for an extended period of time. So... like Naomi, if anyone finds a better VOICE REMOTE besides what I described above... please let me know!

Re: [QUAD-L] Permobil RS/ C500
Quadius, I have had my Permobile Chairman since January of 1999. I got it in New York State when I used to live there. It was not until I moved to Arizona where I went on longer walks (sidewalks and bike lanes that go on forever here) and what you described below is EXACTLY what happened to me in 2001 or 2002. And, like you, the button just needed to be pushed again. Then, it did not happen again for several years but I noticed that when it DID happen again... I was going quite fast. Since then, I have never gone full speed. Because if it ever stopped that abruptly again... I would go flying forward even with my Velcro belt on. I am an average cruiser anyway. Not too fast and not too slow. Lori On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 5:59 PM, Quadius quad...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know what type of seating system I am using, but I am using a C3 50. I'm also having difficulty with my chair after only 3 1/2 months of use. Unfortunately mine is intermittent problem. Yesterday while I was out riding around my half mile loop, my Permobile just simply up and stopped. The computer shut down and I had no way to turn it on. Thankfully one of my neighbors happen to step outside her house after I had been sitting there for 10 minutes. They only needed to hit the button again in order for the computer to boot back up, but this is really dangerous. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yup! I can't remember who it was but not too long ago someone else on the list mentioned the same thing about the same product. First it works, then it doesn't. Sometimes it will go to the channel that you tell it to CLEARLY go to and it does not. Sometimes when you tell it to increase or decrease the volume it will and then it will not.
