beeps corresponding to the battery pac size you have on your Metroboard. Now the battery gauge will be restored to its
default calibration.
Note that while the skateboard is producing the battery gauge beeps the other functions such as acceleration and
braking WILL NOT WORK until the beeping is complete (as long as 2 seconds). Consequently only check the battery
gauge when you can safely wait at least 2 seconds before needing to accelerate or brake.
5) Steering Wheel LEFT + Trigger IN: Change ACCEL S ill Level (1 thru 9) and put board in/out of inconspicuous mode (LED
lights off and no turn on beeps).
-Note level 9 is the most powerful s ill level.
-On s ill level 2, the top speed is limited to 50% of the full speed, reco ended for new or younger riders
-On s ill level 1, the top speed is limited to 30% of the full speed, reco ended for new or younger riders
Do not adjust skill levels while moving on the skateboard!
There are 9 user-adjustable S ill (Power) Levels that you can adjust based on your riding comfort. Level 1 is the easiest level,
and level 9 is the most advanced level. The higher the level the more quic ly you will accelerate and climb hills, when you
pull the trigger in. The default level is 5 (intermediate) and recommended for most riders, but if this feels too strong or not
strong enough then you can adjust the s ill level. In order to adjust the level, first ma e sure the s ateboard is turned on.
Hold the steering wheel left (you will hear the bell beeps) and then pull the trigger in until you hear a number of beeps rising
in pitch. The number of beeps, between 1 and 9, indicates the s ill level. While you hold this position, the s ill level will go
down one level. After s ill level 1, it will flip bac up to level 9. Be sure to let go of the trigger prior to the beeps ending for
the level you want, otherwise you may end up at the next lower level. For example, if you want to be at level 7, when you
hear the 8 beeps (indicating level 8) complete, and then the beeps start again, let go of the trigger any time during (not
after) the up count of the 7 beeps and this will ensure you are at level 7. Note that the s ill level will be remembered by the
s ateboard even if you turn the s ateboard off, so you don’t need to set it every time you turn it on. Note that due to
higher current loads on the system at levels above level 6, it is more li ely that the mechanical circuit brea er (On/Off
switch) will trip (turn off) in the middle of riding (especially when climbing hills). If this happens you will hear the declining
pitch end of battery beeps (see Warning Beeps below), and you may need to wait a minute for the circuit brea er to cool
before you can turn it on again. Also, if the circuit brea er trips while riding, the battery gauge may lose its calibration. If this
happens, the battery gauge will inaccurately report remaining battery capacity until the next time you completely drain the
battery. See section above Restoring Default Battery Gauge Calibration to ma e the battery gauge accurate again.
The other feature that you can adjust by Steering Wheel LEFT + Trigger IN is to change from Nor al Mode to Inconspicuous
Mode. In Nor al Mode, the battery gauge will beep every time you turn the s ateboard on, and the LEDS will constantly
pulse. In Inconspicuous Mode, the battery gauge will not beep at turn on, and the LEDs will remain off. In order to change
from Nor al Mode to Inconspicuous Mode, hold the steering wheel left and then pull the trigger in until you see the pulsing
s ateboard lights turn off, then immediately let go of the joystic . You only have about a half second to react, so be sure to
let go of the trigger right away once you see the lights turn off. Now you are in Inconspicuous Mode. This setting will be
remembered even if you turn off the s ateboard. To switch bac to Nor al Mode, you will need to hold the steering wheel
left and then pull the trigger in again, and scroll down through the s ill levels (following the instruction in the previous
paragraph), until you return to the s ill level you were at previously. For example, if you are at level 5 and in Nor al Mode
(lights ON), and you hold the steering wheel left and then pull the trigger in for a split second, you will change to level 5-
Inconspicuous Mode (lights OFF). If you continue, you will drop down to level 4-Normal Mode (lights flashing) and you will
hear the s ill level beeps. Repeating this, you would next change to level 4-Inconspicuous Mode (lights off), followed by
level 3-Normal Mode, followed by level 3-Inconspicuous Mode, etc. So if you wanted to return to level 5-Normal Mode, you
would have to cycle through till you hear the 5 level beeps, and let go during the up count of the 5 beeps.
Be careful to remember to turn the skateboard OFF when in incons icuous mode and done riding, since you will have no
visual indication of the skateboard being on, and if left this way for long eriods, could slowly over discharge the battery
causing ermanent damage.
