5. Setup

Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your Swagboard Pro T1. The charging time is approximately 1 hour for a full charge. Avoid overcharging the battery to prolong its lifespan.

Powering On/Off

Locate the power button on the hoverboard. Press it to turn the device on or off. The system indicator light will illuminate when the device is powered on.

Initial Calibration

It is crucial to calibrate your hoverboard before its first use and after any significant impacts or uneven riding experiences. Calibration ensures the gyroscopic sensors are properly aligned for stable operation.

To calibrate, ensure the hoverboard is turned off and placed on a perfectly flat, level surface. Press and hold the power button for several seconds until the indicator lights flash or a confirmation sound is heard. Release the button and turn the hoverboard off, then on again. It should now be calibrated.

Mounting and Steering

To mount, place one foot firmly on a footpad, then quickly step on with the other foot. Maintain balance by keeping your body upright and relaxed. To steer, gently lean your body in the desired direction. Leaning forward will move the hoverboard forward, and leaning backward will slow it down or move it backward. To turn, apply slight pressure with one foot while relaxing the other.

7. Maintenance

Battery Care

  • Charge the hoverboard for 4-5 hours per charge cycle.
  • Avoid overcharging to preserve battery life.
  • For long-term storage, ensure the battery is fully charged before storing.
  • Do not let the battery drain completely to zero.

Calibration

Regular calibration is essential for optimal performance. If the hoverboard feels unbalanced, vibrates, or moves unevenly, recalibration is recommended. Place the hoverboard on a level surface, turn it off, then press and hold the power button until the lights flash or a sound is heard. Release, turn off, then turn on again.

Cleaning

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the hoverboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Loud Sound from Wheel: This is most commonly caused by packing material getting stuck between the wheel and the plastic housing. Inspect and remove any obstructions.
  • Vibration or Uneven Movement: This indicates the hoverboard may be out of calibration. Follow the calibration steps in the Maintenance section.
  • Board Not Responding: Ensure the battery is charged and the device is powered on. If issues persist, attempt recalibration.
