[Selected speed level] LED display
The LED display shows the currently selected speed level (1–5).
[Charge level] LED display
The [Charge level] LED display is divided into five segments and serves as a proportional indicator for the current
charge level:
•
The accuracy of the indicator increases after driving for a short time.
•
A charge of 100 per cent corresponds to five segments on the battery symbol.
•
As the remaining battery charge decreases, the LED segments turn off one by one.
•
When the last single LED segment flashes, the battery has to be charged immediately.
•
When all five LED segments repeatedly flash once with pauses, the battery is in an undervoltage state. The bat
tery must be charged immediately.
•
When all five LED segments repeatedly flash ten times with pauses, the battery is in an overvoltage state.
Please continue to drive at low speed only.
•
The charging process is indicated by sequential flashing of the LEDs. The driving function is blocked when the
battery is charging.
