BATTERIES & CHARGING TM S1
General Information and Instructions on Charging
Your scooter requires 1 x lithium battery that is sealed and maintenance free. The battery is
recharged by the supplied o-board charging system.
• Fully charge your travel scooter’s battery for at least 10 to 12 hours prior to using it for
the first time. The new battery will be at its full capacity after having run through
approx. 10-20 charging cycles (break-in period). This break-in period is necessary to full
activate the battery for maximum performance and longevity.
• Keep the battery fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. Charge the
battery daily after every discharge, even after partly discharge. Depending on the level
of discharge, it can take up 12 hours until the battery is fully charged again.
• If the battery indicator has reached the red LED range, charge the battery for 16 hours
minimum, ignoring the “charge complete” display!
• Even if the scooter is unused for long periods of time, the battery should have a 24 hour
charge once a week to make sure it is fully charged.
• Do not charge your battery under extreme temperatures. High temperatures above
30°C are
not recommended for charging, as well as low temperatures below 10°C.
• You cannot overcharge the battery when using the charger supplied with your vehicle,
or a charger that has been approved by manufacturer.
• Protect your charger from sources of heat such as heaters and direct sunlight. If the
battery charger overheats, charging current will be reduced and the charging process
delayed.
WARNING! Risk of explosion and electric shock if batteries are charged when
incorrectly wired. Never attempt to open or disassemble the battery box. If the
batteries do not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized provider.
WARNING! Risk of explosion and destruction of batteries if the wrong battery
charger is used. Only use the battery charger supplied with your vehicle, or a
charger that has been approved by manufacturer. Never charge 10V Ah batteries
with a 5V battery charger. Always use a 2-amp Ah battery charger.
WARNING! Do not use or store the battery near sources of heat such as a fire or
heater.

EMI/RFI TM S1
The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has
saturated our environment with electromagnetic (radio) waves that are emitted by
television transmitters, cellular phones, citizen’s band radios (CBs), amateur radios (ham
radios), wireless computer, microwave transmitters, paging transmitters, etc. These
electromagnetic (EM) waves are invisible and increase in strength the closer one gets
to the source of transmission. When these energy waves act upon electrical devices and
cause them to malfunction or to function in an erratic or uncontrolled manner, they are
referred to as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI and your scooter
All electrically powered vehicles, including scooters, are susceptible to Electromagnetic
Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI). This interference could result in
abnormal, unintended movement of your scooter.
WARNING! Unintended movement or brake release can cause an accident or injury.
The FDA has determined that each make and model of scooter can resist EMI/RFI to a
certain level. The higher the level of resistance, the greater the degree of protection from
EMI/RFI – measured in volts per meter (V/m). The FDA has also determined that current
technology is capable of providing 20 V/m of resistance to interference. This product has
been tested and has passed an immunity level of 20 V/m.
EMI/RFI recommendations
• Do not turn on or use handheld personal electronic communication devices such as
cellular phones, walkie-talkies and CB radios while your scooter is turned on.
• Be aware of any nearby transmitters (radio, television, microwave, etc.) on your
intended route and avoid operating your scooter close to any of those transmitters.
• Turn o the power if your scooter is going to be in a stationary position for any length
of time.
• Be aware that adding accessories or components or modifying your scooter may make
it more susceptible to EMI/RFI.
WARNING! Turn o your scooter as soon as it is safely possible if unintended or
uncontrollable motion occurs or if unintended parking brake release occurs.
