Steering Grip
Turn the grip to go left or right, in Balance Mode, or
back and forth in Power Assist Mode.
Notes:
The
Steering Grip
responds in proportion to
the amount it is twisted. The more you twist,
the faster you will turn while in Balance Mode.
For each key, the Steering Gripsensitivity is
calibrated to affect the same turning radius at
top speed. When in Power Assist Mode, the
speed at which the Segway HT moves forward
and backward when you twist the Steering
Gripdoes not change with the different Keys.
(Imagine a marching band in a row. As the row
begins to turn, the outside marcher increases
his pace, while the innermost marcher reduces
her pace. They all accomplish the same turning
radius.)
Notes:
The
Mode Button
is used to transition
between Power Assist Mode and Balance
Mode, (tap) and to turn off the Segway HT
(hold down until you see a sleepy face –
approximately 2 seconds.)
The
Display
is designed to provide
information in easy-to understand images for
all languages. Provides information about
battery charge level, operational mode, and
alerts.
The
Key Port
has 3 points of contact. Make
contact with the middle point and
either
outside point. Don’t push down or you will
