ForceDecks Instruction Manual v.1.2022   

 

 

Note:

 ForceDecks will be partially charged when shipped to clients, enabling them to use the 

ForceDecks straight out of the box. 

4.6.1

 

Charging ForceDecks 

There are two ways to charge ForceDecks batteries, using the supplied USB cable. 

The ForceDecks batteries will charge when: 

1.

 

Plugged into a USB port on a computer, or  

2.

 

Plugged into the mains power with a USB wall adapter (mains power). 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not charge a device if your Mini-USB cable or wall adapter are damaged. 

 

While other brands of wall adapter may successfully charge your device, we recommend 

only using VALD supplied adapters. 

 

Your ForceDecks will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity. 

4.6.2

 

Battery Status 

The battery status LED on each force plate illuminate according to the status of the plate’s battery.

 

The LED will: 

 

Illuminate green 

 when fully charged. 

 

Illuminate amber 

 when moderately charged. 

 

Illuminate red 

 when charge is low. 

 

Not illuminate 

 when turned off or has no charge. 

 

4.7

 

Turn On and Off 

Before turning on ForceDecks it is important to confirm the plate setup, to identify the Primary plate. 

When the Primary plate is turned on it will automatically pair with, and power the Secondary plate.
