It is very important that you read this manual and the safety instructions carefully before using your BATEC for the first time. This will allow you to understand how your BATEC is manufactured and how you should use it to obtain maximum comfort and safety.
• It is important that the first time you use your BATEC you start slowly, so that you get a feel for it and become familiar with it. Each new manoeuvre implies a potential risk.

D URING
U SE:
• The BATEC should be used to transport strictly one person at a time. • The use of the BATEC is recommended only for those people who are in an adequate physical and psychological state to move in traffic.

T +34 935442003 F +34 902876503 www.batec-mobility.com info@batec-mobility.com • Always have reflectant signs on the BATEC and on the chair or clothes in order to ensure you are visible for other drivers. When visibility gets poor, always use lights. • There is a risk of slipping on wet surfaces, ground with gravel and uneven ground.
Page 7
• When covering long distances, we recommend that you keep a spare battery with you. • In the case of the BATEC MANUAL and the BATEC HIBRID, do not place your hands in the area of the chainset. With all moveable parts there is always a risk of getting your fingers caught.
• Use only our charger to charge the battery. • If you do not use your BATEC for a long period of time, keep the battery fully charged and charge it every 2 months to avoid it damaging due to "deep discharge".
Page 9
• Remove the battery when transporting the BATEC in any means of transportation (car, bus, train, plane...). • The BATEC has not been designed to be used as a means of transport inside a vehicle. 9 / 74 USER MANUAL NUMBER/VERSION: MU-001/4.0...

Page 53
Note: If you leave it in LOCKED position, you shall not be able to extract the battery. Discharging the battery: To discharge the BATEC battery, simply turn the key to ON position and use the BATEC normally. The battery discharging process is protected by the smart battery management system, which cuts off the current in the event of any excess current and if any of the battery cells is too discharged.
Charging the battery: • The BATEC battery is charged through the XLR 3 pin port located on the side of the battery. • Only charge the battery with its original BATEC MOBILITY charger provided to you with your BATEC.
Page 55
The danger of lithium batteries has been widely discussed and there are good reasons for it. Vehicle batteries, as are BATEC batteries, have sufficient energy and potential hazardous material stored to generate a significant incident in the event of misuse or negligence.
Page 56
Never charge the battery at temperatures below 0ºC. Use of the battery in high humidity conditions The casing of the BATEC MOBILITY battery offers good protection to the batteries and circuits inside against humidity and rain. This protection is sufficient to withstand these circumsntances occasionally, but a constant and prolonged exposure to high humidity and rain can cause malfunctions in the battery.
Page 57
BATEC MOBILITY offers a one year warranty on the battery, as it is a consumable. In the event of replacing the battery in warranty, the new battery will have a warranty equivalent to the remaining warranty period of the original battery of the BATEC.
