1. Safety and Use of the iWatBoard
1.1 Safe Use
As with any driving habit (driving a car, riding a bike, swimming and other
activities), learning to ride the iWatBoard problem-free is only a matter of
practice. We suggest that you carefully read this manual before enjoying
your iWatBoard. In it you will find safety information, including speed limits,
emergency lights, safety stops, etc...
Before using the iWatBoard, make sure that both the tires and the rest of its
components are in good condition. If you find anything out of the ordinary,
revise maintenance.
Please ride responsibly to avoid damages to persons or property.
Modifications of the product are not permitted on any part or piece of the
vehicle, the reason being that this could alter the correct function of the
vehicle, causing serious injury to the user.
1.2 Weight Limits
There are two reasons for user weight limits:
•To guarantee the safety of the user.
•To avoid damaging the iWatBoard due to heavy weight.
- Max. Weight Limit: 100kg / 15.5 st
- Min. Weight Limit: 40kg / 6.5 st

23
•Placing too much weight on the iWatBoard can cause serious falling risks.
•First-time users should be accompanied by other users, in case there is a fall
or other injuries.
WARNING
1.3 Maximum Speed
Maximum permitted Speed: 10km/h – 20km/h (depending on the model).
• To assure the correct balance of the iWatBoard, the
user must stay inside these prescribed limits. If not,
unbalancing and falling are possible (causing possible
damages or injuries).
1.4 Limits of Use and Product Longevity
• Terrain.
Driving upon smooth, flat surfaces will reduce user limits and will increase
the longevity of the iWatBoard. Doing the opposite will shorten longevity.
• User Weight.
User weight can aect product longevity.
• Ambient Temperature.
When storing and using the iWatBoard, it is recommended that ambient
temperature should not surpass 40ºC or drop below -5ºC.
• Maintenance.
Responsibly charging the product will prolong longevity.
• Riding habits and Speed.
Maintaining average speeds can increase product longevity.

2. Learning to ride the iWatBoard
2.1 Methods of Use
Extra precautions must be taken before riding the iWatBoard, therefore it is
very important that you read the entire manual carefully to fully understand
the iWatBoards various functions.
• Step 1: Turn ON the iWatBoard by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Step 2: Get ready to ride! By putting a foot on the pad, the gyroscope will
start-up and then the ON light will appear. Now that the iWatBoards self-
balancing has kicked in, the next step is to place your other foot on the pad.
• Step 3: After successfully mounting the iWatBoard and remaining there,
hold your balance and the Board should remain steady, it will only advance or
reverse when the user inclines their weight forward or backwards. Remember
to avoid sudden movements.
• Step 4: Incline your left or right foot to turn in that direction
• Step 5: Before getting o of the iWatBoard, it is necessary that you remain
completely still and balanced. First place one foot on the ground behind you
(heel to toe) and then directly remove the other foot (also behind you).

26
2.2 Ecient Use
Before going out and riding your iWatBoard, it’s important that you make sure
that you have the necessary skills to ride, for your own safety.
• Please, use comfortable clothing and shoes that allow flexible movements.
• Practice using the iWatBoard in empty, open areas until you feel that you
have enough experience.
• Use on flat surfaces.
• If you are not sure whether you can ride in crowded areas or amongst
obstacles, please refrain from riding.

2.4 Information, alerts and Self-Protection
The iWatBoard uses a system of information and alerts to communicate with
the user. The pad sensors, the gyroscopes and the battery are constantly
sending data to the processor, which detects errors and unpermitted
operations and informs the user of the unit condition. It’s also capable of
protecting itself and the user by disconnecting itself when in a dangerous
situation.
When the system cannot self-balance, it will emit an alarm that will sound
during the following situations:
• When the sensor pad is inclined more than 35º.
• When sudden accelerations or other abrupt actions are detected, an alarm
will sound due to dangerous riding.
The system will go into Self-Protection mode, will brightly flash its lights
and will disconnect itself when:
• The rim or tyre becomes blocked for 2 seconds.
• If the batteries charge is below the protection level, flashing lights will
indicate that the battery is emptying and the unit will shut itself o within 15
seconds.
While the iWatBoard is recharging, an alarm will sound to inform you of
the following possible situations:
• When excessive charging is detected: when the iWatBoard is fully charged,
it is recommended that it be unplugged from the charger. The system will
alert you when it should be disconnected.
• When it detects an over-current while charging: if this were to occur,
immediately disconnect the iWatBoard from the power. If the problem persists
each time you try to charge the device, contact us so that we can inspect the
iWatBoards charger.

4. Battery Maintenance & Safety
The next section will explain how to charge the iWatBoard, how to maintain
the battery and other safety tips. At the same time, the batteries technical data
will be listed o.
For your own safety and the safety of others, to prolong your batteries
working life and to improve the function of the battery, follow these steps:
4.1 Low Battery
When low battery is detected, the indicator light will begin to flash in red. This
means that you must immediately stop the vehicle. Insisting on continuing
can damage the battery and its working life will be reduced.
Do not use the battery in the following situations:
• If you detect any strange smells coming from the battery or if you feel an
unusual overheating.
•In the event that other defects are noticed:
• It may only be handled by professionals.
• The batteries contain harmful substances, opening the battery is completely
prohibited.
• Keep out of reach of children and animals.
• Using any other method to charge the iWatBoard, other than with the
provided charger, is not permitted.

4.2. Charging
• Using any other method to charge the iWatBoard, other than with the
provided charger, is not permitted.
• Make sure that the charger port is completely dry.
• First plug the charger into the power supply (100V-200V:50-60Hz) and make
sure that the green light is on when connecting the charger.
• The red light indicates that the iWatBoard is charging normally, passing from
red to green means that the charge is complete. It is recommended that you
then remove the charger.
• Charging can take roughly 2 hours, charging for longer periods will reduce
the working life of the battery.
• The charging area should be kept clean and dry. Never charge in humid
areas.

4.3. Charging Conditions
• To make sure that your iWatBoard is working at maximum eciency, the
temperature of the battery should be maintained within the temperature
parameters that appear in the specifications.
• When the parameters of use are close to the nominal parameters that
appear on the data sheet, the battery will be working at maximum eciency.
• The temperature, before and after charging, should be kept within the
recommended parameters. If not, and the temperature is higher or lower, the
battery will not be able to fully charge.
4.4. Vehicle Precautions
Lithium batteries are designed with harmful and toxic elements and their
transport must be done under the supervision of local laws.
