FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR
MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
Before using your device, be sure to familiarize yourself with the
operating procedures.
OPERATING YOUR DEVICE
Make sure the device is fully charged before your initial use. For
charging instructions, please follow details under CHARGING YOUR
DEVICE.
Stand directly behind your device and place one foot on the
corresponding foot mat (as described in the diagram below). Keep
your weight on the foot which is still on the ground, otherwise the
device may begin to move or vibrate, making it difficult to step on
evenly with your other foot. When you are ready, shift your weight to
the foot already placed on the device and step on with your
second foot quickly and evenly (as described in the diagram
below).
Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed correctly on
the foot mats and your center of gravity is level, you should be able
to stand on your device just as if you were standing on the ground.
On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on
your device and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will
help you feel more secure. The hoverboard is an incredibly intuitive
device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any
anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic
and trigger unwanted movement.
When you first begin using your device, the fastest way to move in
your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that
just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your
center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that
direction.
Your center of gravity determines which direction you move,
accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As
described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the
direction you wish to move.
To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.
As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes
easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to
shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.
Bend your knees if you encounter bumps or uneven surfaces, then
dismount and carry your hoverboard to a safe operating surface.
OPERATING RANGE
The hoverboard can travel a distance up to 8 miles on a fully
charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the
major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.
• Terrain: Riding distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat
surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance
significantly.
• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.
• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under
recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance;
battery life, and overall performance of your device.
• Speed and Riding Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent
speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high
speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and
frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall
distance.
If your hoverboard is unbalanced, vibrating, or not turning properly,
you can follow the below steps to calibrate it.
• First, place the hoverboard on a flat, horizontal surface such as the
floor or a table. The foot mats should be even with each other and
not tilted forward or backward. Make sure the charger is not
plugged in and the board is turned off.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a total of 10-15 seconds.
When the lights in the front of board keep flashing,you may release
the power button.
• Turn the board off and then turn the board back on. Calibration
will now be completed.
RIDING YOUR HOVERBOARD
13
Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently
and evenly. Imagine climbing stairs, one
foot, then the other. Look up once your feet
are even. The hoverboard may vibrate or
spin in one direction, if weight and pressure
are applied to only one foot mat. THIS IS
NORMAL.
