USER MANUAL

F4H NAVBOARD

Principle of operation

• The Navboard detects, as it balances, the change in its centre of mass, and first establishes and then maintains a corresponding
speed, forward or backward. Gyroscopic sensors and fluid-based levelling sensors detect the weight . While standing on the
pedals, it is very simple and intuitive to drive the scooter forwards, backwards, to steer it or stop it by merely shifting your body

weight in the appropriate direction. The Navboard combines stylish design, simple operation, flexible control, low-carbon

functionality and ideal for domestic, entertainment and leisure activities.

Endurance mileage

• The endurance of the Navboard battery depends on many factors, such as:

• Road type：Smooth, flat ground with long travel distance, and on the contrary with short travel distance.

• Weight: Driver's weight affects the travel distance.

• Maintenance: Reasonable charging and maintenance of batteries will increase driving distance, and on the contrary will reduce travel

distance.

• Speed and driving style: Maintaining moderate speed will increase driving distance, frequent start/stop/acceleration/deceleration will
reduce travel distance.

• Speed

• Maximum speed: 10KM/hours(not recommended to use maximum speed while driving)

• The Navboard is capable of balancing the driver within prescribed speed, if beyond, it may result in loss of balance, personal injury or

accident.

• Uphill & downhill

• The Naboard can detect slopes while uphill or downhill, upon detection of slope, it will adjust the outputted torque through its intelligent

chip automatically and hence adjust the motor, ensuring driver safety whilst driving.

CAUTION:

When using the Navboard for the first time, please drive it under supervision and assistance of another

person to prevent possible loss of balance and falling.

Remote control

Depending on the model, the Navboard is equipped with remote control which can control the operations within 5 meter.

Switch Off: If the Navboard is on and isn't in motion, a long press of this button will turn it off power.

Lock: If the Navboard is on and not in motion, a long press of this button will lock any operation; pressing it

again will unlock it (an alert sound will indicate change of state),

Note: Remote controlle distance will be decreased gradually along with its battery. The Navboard will be shut off
automatically after 10 minutes of non operation; It will not shut down automatically under the locked state; hence will still be in
power consumption condition. If the Navboard will not be used for a long time please switch it off to reduce power consumption.

Pedal Sensors

• The Navboard is equipped with four sensors under foot pedal, it will adjust to equilibrium state automatically while stepping on

foot pad.

• Do not step beyond foot pad edge, please ensure your foot is sturdily placed on the pedal while driving.

• Do not load any luggage on the pedal, otherwise the sensor will assume a person is standing on it and hence remain powered

on, this increases the probability of collision and can result in injury or damage to driver or scooter itself.

• Display Panel

• The display panel is located in the middle of the Navboard for ease of transmitting information.

• A Power display area: It shows full power when blue light turns on three lattice;

• It shows 50% power available when blue light turns on two lattice; It shows 20% power available when blue light turns on one

lattice. When power is low the user needs to charge the Navboard.

• B Running display area: when the driver stands on the pedal and trigger sensors, running indicator lights turn on in operation

status. If an error occurred in running system, the indicator lights will turn into a red light.

stationary. Shift your body forwards or backwards with small increments to control the
forward or reverse motion of the Navboard. Remember that the shift in body weight be
shouldn’t be too large.

• Step 4. Controlling the directions of the Navboard: The right foot forward for left turn, left

foot forward for the right.

• Step 5. Getting off the scooter: Please keep the Navboard stationary and establish balance

before getting off. First remove one foot from the back of the scooter, once standing
steadily on the ground, the other foot can leave the pedal pad.
