POWERTAB
SWITCHING THE SYSTEM ON/OFF
Briefly press the On/Off button. When the system
starts up, no support level is active. The bike
behaves like a normal bicycle without support.
After the system startup, the On/Off button can be
used to switch the light on or off.
DISPLAYING THE SOC OF THE BATTERY
After startup, the state of charge (SOC) is continu-
ously displayed by LEDs. If all 7 LEDs are lit, the
battery is full.
If the indicator flashes, the battery is being
charged. If the battery charge is too low, no SOC is
displayed. Instead, the white Status LED is lit. Once
the battery charge gets too low, the bike switches
off automatically.
SWITCHING OFF
Press the On/Off button for approximately
5 seconds until the LED display turns off.
