The H1 has a powerful built-in wireless speakers so you can play your music while riding.

PAIRING THE SPEAKER

1. Ensure your H1 is turned off. If it is not, please turn off your Hover-1 first before pairing.

2. Turn on your H1 and the speakers will announce that it’s waiting for a Bluetooth® connection. This will indicate your H1 speaker is now in pairing mode.

3. Place the H1 and the Bluetooth® device to which you would like to pair it within the operating distance. We recommend keeping the two devices no further than 3 feet apart during pairing.

4. Ensure Bluetooth® is enabled on your phone or music device. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for how to enable Bluetooth® on your device.

5. Once you have activated Bluetooth® on your device, select the option “HY-H1” from the list of available Bluetooth® devices.

6. If required, enter the PIN code "000000" and confirm the entry.

7. Please note, pairing mode on the Hover-1 will last for two minutes. If no devices are paired after two minutes, the H1 speaker will automatically return to standby mode.

8. If pairing is unsuccessful, turn off the H1 first and re-pair following the aforementioned steps.

NOTE: Once you have paired the H1 speaker with a device, the speaker will remember this device and will pair automatically when the device’s Bluetooth® is activated and in range. You do not need to re-pair any previously connected devices. Your H1 can pair up to two multi-point devices. You can reconnect a previously paired device without going through the pairing or PIN process on up to two devices.

LISTENING TO MUSIC

Once the H1 Bluetooth speaker is paired to your device, you can stream music wirelessly through it. Only one speaker will play music as the other speaker is strictly for safety alerts from your Hover-1. Select the track you wish to listen to on your device to listen via the speakers. All volume and track controls will be made using your music device. Should you encounter any problems while streaming, please refer to your device’s user manual.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, the H1 scooter features a water-resistant, weatherized case that protects its components from splashing water. This ensures that the high-quality tech within the H1 is protected while riding around outdoors & indoors and getting caught in the rain.

NOTE: The H1 scooter should not be subject to prolonged exposure to water or submerged. Doing so will damage your H1 scooter and invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

It is important that you fully understand all elements of your H1 scooter. If these elements are not used correctly, you will not have full control of your H1. Before you ride, or ride outside of a controlled environment, learn the functions of the various mechanisms on your scooter.

Practice using these elements of your H1 at slower speeds in a flat, open area before taking the device out in public areas.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST Ensure that your H1 scooter is in proper working order each and every time you ride. If a part of the scooter does not function correctly, please contact our Customer Support Center.

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before riding your scooter.

• If the H1 is not to be used for an extended period of time, please recharge the battery every 2 months to maintain the battery life.

• Ensure that the screws on the front and back tires are locked firmly before each ride.

IPX4 WATER RESISTANCE

BEFORE RIDING

WARNING

Any H1 that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Do

not ride an

H1 scooter with a part that

is damaged; replace the damaged part before riding.

15

• Please wear all appropriate safety and protective gear as previously mentioned in the User Manual before operating your device.

• Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and flat closed-toe shoes when operating your device.

• Please carefully read the User Manual, which will assist in explaining the basic working principles and provide tips on how to best enjoy your experience.

The first rule in safe riding is to use common sense. A scooter 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 H1 scooter 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.

Hover-1 is not liable for tickets or violations given to riders who do not follow these regulations.

• For your safety, always wear a helmet that meets CPSC or CE 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 traffic laws. Obey red and green lights, one-way streets, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc.

• Ride with the traffic, not against it.

• Ride defensively; expect the unexpected.

• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.

• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to pass them from behind.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

16

WARNING

When you ride in low-visibility conditions such as fog, dusk, or night, you might be diicult to see, which could lead to a collision. In addition to keeping your headlight on, wear bright, reective clothing when riding in poor lighting conditions.

• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right before crossing.

Your Hover-1 is not equipped with reflectors. It is not recommended that you ride your bike in conditions of low visibility.

If you are riding your scooter in low-visibility conditions, ensure your LED lights are turned on, and that you are wearing bright, reflective clothing.

Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many accidents if you think about safety. Below is a helpful checklist for Compact riders.

SAFETY CHECKLIST

• Do not ride “double” with more than one rider on the scooter.

• Avoid riding in large groups, as this can force you to ride too close to other riders, making it difficult to see other vehicles and road hazards.

• Do not ride above your skill level. Ensure you have had enough practice with all functions and features of your Hover-1.

• Do not ride too fast -- with increased speed comes increased risk. If you are moving at a higher speed, small bumps can turn into large impacts, leading to a higher risk of injury if an accident occurs.

• Do not ride your scooter with any pets.

17

• Before stepping on your device, make sure it is placed flat on level ground, the power is on, and the Running Indicator light is green. Do not step on if the Running Indicator is red.

WARNING:

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAN AND MAY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOID YOUR

MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAUSE

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

Before using your device, be sure to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures.

OPERATING YOUR DEVICE

Make sure the device is fully charged before your initial use. For charging instructions, please follow details under CHARGING YOUR DEVICE.

Stand directly behind your device and place one foot on the corresponding foot mat (as described in the diagram below). Keep your weight on the foot which is still on the ground, otherwise the device may begin to move, making it difficult to step on evenly with your other foot. When you are ready, shift your weight to the foot already placed on the device and step on with your second foot quickly and evenly (as described in the diagram below).

Find your center of gravity. If your weight is distributed correctly on the foot mats and your center of gravity is level, you should be able to stand on your device just as if you were standing on the ground.

On average, it takes 3-5 minutes just to get comfortable standing on your device and maintaining proper balance. Having a spotter will

Stay relaxed and step on quickly, confidently and evenly. Imagine climbing stairs, one foot, then the other. Look up once your feet are even.

NOTES:

help you feel more secure. The Hover-1 is an incredibly intuitive device; it senses even the slightest bit of motion, so having any anxiety or reservation about stepping on may cause you to panic and trigger unwanted movement.

When you first begin using your device, the fastest way to move in your desired direction is to focus in that direction. You will notice that just thinking about which way you would like to go will shift your center of gravity, and that subtle movement will propel you in that direction.

Your center of gravity determines which direction you move, accelerate, decelerate, and come to a complete stop. As described in the diagram below, tilt your center of gravity in the direction you wish to move.

To turn, focus on the direction you wish to turn and stay relaxed.

As you get comfortable on the device, you will notice it becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the centrifugal force.

For bumps or uneven roads, bend your knees.

Dismounting your device can be one of the easiest steps, yet when done incorrectly, may cause you to fall. To properly dismount, from a stopped position, lift one leg up and set your foot back down on the ground (STEPPING BACK). Then step off completely as described in the following diagram.

WEIGHT AND SPEED LIMITATIONS

Speed and weight limits are set for your own safety. Please do not exceed the limits listed here in the manual.

• Maximum Weight: 264 lbs

• Minimum Weight: 44 lbs

• Maximum Speed: 9 mph

WARNING

Make sure to lift your leg completely off the foot mat to clear the device when stepping back to dismount. Failure to do so may send the Hover-1 into a tailspin.

Try staying relaxed and focus on finding your center of gravity to maintain full control of your H1 scooter.

NOTES:

If the H1 is not placed on a level surface, an alarm will sound and the warning indicator will light up and prevent the H1 from moving. Place the H1 on a level surface and try riding it again.

OPERATING RANGE

Please notice the H1 can travel a distance up to 9 miles on a fully charged battery in ideal conditions. The following are some of the major factors that will affect the operating range of your device.

• Terrain: Driving distance is highest when riding on a smooth, flat surface. Riding uphill and/or on rough terrain will reduce distance significantly.

• Weight: A lighter user will have further range than a heavier user.

• Ambient temperature: Please ride and store the device under recommended temperatures, which will increase driving distance; battery life, and overall performance of your device.

• Speed and Driving Style: Maintaining a moderate and consistent speed while riding produces maximum distance. Traveling at high speeds for extended periods, frequent starts and stops, idling and frequent acceleration or deceleration will decrease overall distance.

If your Hover-1 is unbalanced, vibrating, or not turning properly, you can follow the below steps to calibrate it.

• In order for the balance calibration system to work properly, please place the scooter on a flat, horizontal surface.

• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a total of 15 seconds. The scooter will turn on, lighting the battery indicator on the board.

• Next, the lights will flash. The board will then announce “calibration successful” at which point you can release the ON/OFF button.

• Turn the board off and then turn the board back on. Calibration will now be completed.

WARNING

Overweight exertion on the device may increase possibility of injury or product damage.

To prevent injury, when max speed is reached, the H1 will beep to alert the user and tilt the rider slowly back.
