Battery Condition Indicator (Fig 2.5) –
This is shown on the LCD display when the key is switched on
with a range of six bars. Empty (E) is at the bottom and is showing the battery in a completely discharged state,
and full (F) at the top showing the battery to be fully charged. It is impossible to be very specific about battery
range because there are many factors involved, ie weight of user, type of terrain etc. However as the power in the
battery gets used, the bars on the scale will disappear. Work on the assumption that each of the first four bars
represents 15% of the battery power. So by the time four bars have extinguished, you have used up 60% of your
battery charge. The remaining 2 bars on the scale will extinguish quicker as they are only representative of 10%
of the charge each, and at this point you should be thinking of getting the scooter back on charge. When the 5
th
bar disappears you will see the battery symbol to the right of the bars will start flashing. This informs you that the
machine is very low on power and you must get it on charge. A short while later you will hear a buzzer and a
warning light on the instrument console will flash (1.13). This is the low power warning and advising you the
machine will shortly run out of charge. It is impossible to be more specific than this as every rider and different
types of terrain will achieve different results. It is important to only use the Vita on short runs to start with to
explore the sort of range you will be achieving. Then when you are confident about range, start going on longer
journeys.

Sleep Mode
– If the Power Key is inadvertently left switched on for a period of time, the Vita will
automatically shut down into a power saving mode. To restart, switch the key off for a few seconds then switch
on again and power will be restored.
19.
Lights Power Saving Mode
– Lights will be on full power when
switched on and machine is moving, but when the machine stops and is
still switched on, the lights will drop down to 30% power.
NB All lights on the Vita use the very latest in LED lighting. This means
they are brighter, use less power and will last longer.
