PLEASE READ THIS NOTE VERY CAREFULLY, AS THIS CHANGE FROM PRIDE HAS CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION. There are two six button hand controls that have been used on Pride chairs that look exactly alike, but are not interchangeable. There are three ways to tell which hand control you need: 1) Look at the serial # on the chair; if the serial # is before Lxx28213xxxxx (where the small x’s could be any number or letters), then this #8296 is the correct control. If it is after Lxx28213xxxxx then the part #8296A will be the correct one. 2) You can also look at the control box that the hand control extension cable plugs into and see what number is on that box; if it has CM105B on the box, then this #8296 will be the correct one; if it has any other number on the box, then the #8296A will be the correct one. 3) If your hand control has a serial # on the back cover that starts with “HC” or “HD”, then this 8296 is the correct one; if it starts with “HE” then the #8296A is correct (some older hand controls don’t have serial numbers).
