The device uses digital electronic gyroscopes and acceleration sensors
to control balance and motion, depending on the user's centre of gravity.
The device also uses a control system to drive the motors that are
located within the wheels. The device has a built-in dynamic
stabilization system that can help assist with balance when moving
forward and backwards, but not while turning.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
TURNING YOUR DEVICE ON/OFF
Power On: Take your device out of the box and place it flat on
a level surface. Press the power button once. Check the battery LED
indicator. The battery indicator light should be lit, indicating the device is
powered on.
Power Off: Press the power button once.
FOOT MAT SENSORS
There are four sensors under the foot mats on your HB1 Hoverboard.
When the user steps off the hoverboard mats, it will automatically stop
the HB1 from moving.

The display board is located in the middle of the HB1 Hoverboard.
• Green LED light indicates the device is charged above 20 percent.
• Red LED light indicates the power is down to 10 percent or lower.
When the LED light turns red, please recharge the device.
When riding the hoverboard, you must ensure you are stepping on the
foot mats. Do not step or stand on any other area of your
hoverboard.
Do not put items on the foot mats. Doing so will make the
HB1 turn on, and increase the probability of collision and cause injury to
people, riders, or damage the device.
STATUS INDICATOR
When the operator triggers the foot mats, the LED Status Indicator will
light up, which indicates that the HB1 Hoverboard is now ready for use.
When the system has an error during operation, the status LED light will
turn red (for more details see SAFETYALERTS).

CALIBRATE YOUR HOVERBOARD
Many problems that surfaces are due to misconfigurations on the gyro
board. Most often they are off balance and in that state your hoverboard
does not know if you’re on a flat surface, going up/downhill or even if you
are standing on it or not.
There are numerous more problems that can be helped with a
re-calibration of your board and we highly recommend everyone that
has a problem with their hoverboard to test calibrating it first, before
you start looking at repair options like changing the dual altitude/gyro
boards.
Step-by-step guide to calibrating your hoverboard in 10
seconds.
-Make sure your hoverboard is standing on a flat surface and with both
upper LED-indicators in level with each other.
-Press the power button and keep it depressed.
-Your hoverboards front LED-lights will flash fast 5 times before it starts
blinking with a longer interval.
-Release the button and restart your hoverboard.
• The hoverboard is shaking when you mount it or go uphill. This
happens more often if it’s kids who are using the hoverboard, due to
their low weight the gyros have a hard time keeping you in balance if
they are not correctly configured.
• It might beep when you start it but won’t let you take off.
• You have the hoverboard in perfect balance but it still wants to spin
around.
• When you ride the hoverboard straight it draws to the left/right.
Here are some very common problems that can be fixed by recalibrating
your hoverboard.
You’re done calibrating the gyro boards and your hoverboard is now
perfectly levelled. It now knows in what direction you’re riding and what
incline it’s currently going in. The best thing about a calibration problem
is that it’s easy to complete and you can do it wherever you are and as
many times as you like.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. Ahoverboard is
vulnerable; it cannot protect you in a crash, against impact, or loss of
control the way driving a car can. It does not have bumpers or airbags
as a car does. This section is a guide of safe riding practices for on
and off-road operation. Make sure you are using your HB1 Hoverboard
properly.
Different localities and countries have different laws governing riding
on public roads, and you should check with local officials to ensure you
are complying with these laws.
ZIMX is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not
follow these regulations.
When you ride in low-visibility conditions such as fog, dusk, or
night, you might be difficult to see, which could lead to a
collision. In addition to keeping your headlight on, wear bright,
reflective clothing when riding in poor lighting conditions.
• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets safety standards.
In the event of an accident, a helmet can protect you from serious
injury and in some cases, even death.
• Obey all local laws and regulations.
• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.
• Do not ride too close to other people or riders and alert them if
you intend to pass them from behind.
Think about safety when you ride.
You can prevent many accidents if you think about safety.
