2) Weights —

Although the U-Step 2 is very stable, we do offer weights as an

accessory to increase the

stability of the walker.  

These weights easily se-

cure to the base of 

the U-Step 2 using 

Velcro straps

.

Use either alkaline or lithium

“AA” batteries.  Remove the

small screw holding the bat-

tery cover on (Figure 1) and

slide the cover to the left to

remove it.  Note the position

of the two batteries (Figure

2), ensuring that the the “+”

and “–” sides are installed in

opposite directions.  The unit

will click either three or five

times when the batteries are

installed correctly.  If the unit

clicks three times, it is shut-

ting off.  If the unit clicks five

times, it is turning on and the

power indicator will blink.

Figure 2

When Sound Cueing is activated, both the sound and laser re-

main on indefinitely.  Turning the Sound Cueing off requires shut-

ting the entire module off, by pressing the red button.
