23. A rider powered on her Segway HT after charging it overnight. She checked the
battery charge level on the Display and noted that all segments around the perimeter
were displayed. She put her Segway HT into Balance Mode, stepped on, and rode a
short distance from her house to the top of her driveway. After riding down her steep
driveway for less than a minute, her Segway HT slowed down automatically by tilting
the Platform backward/tilting the Handlebar into her torso. She recognized this
behavior as the Speed Limiter. After determining that she had powered on with the
Open Environment Key and that she was riding at only about half the maximum
speed, she reviewed her Segway HT user materials, and determined that:(b)
a. She was pressing the Mode Button while riding down the hill, and should release
the Mode Button while riding
b. Because regenerative breaking created more energy than could be stored in the
already-full Battery Packs, the Segway HT activated the speed limiter.
c. The Segway HT slowed itself down because there were traction issues
d. The Segway HT was still plugged in
24. If you are in a building with an elevator, and you want to ride your Segway to the
bottom floor, you should: (a)
a. Ride your Segway on an elevator when there is room and you are not negatively
impacting others
b. Disassemble your Segway prior to taking it with you on an elevator
c. Always take the stairs with your Segway HT in Power Assist Mode
d. Never take your Segway HT on an elevator
25. The Segway HT has an onboard universal input charger. To charge the Segway HT in
countries with 220v instead of 110v, (and 50/60Hz) you need: (b)
a. An external converter to change the voltage
b. A plug adapter that fits the non-USA outlet
c. Nothing, just plug into the non-USA outlet
d. You can’t charge the Segway HT except in the USA
26. To check the charging status on the rear Battery Pack: (a)
a. Observe the right-hand Charging Indicator LED on the Control Shaft Base
b. Observe the left-hand Charging Indicator LED on the Control Shaft Base
c. You can’t discern charging status by the LEDs
d. Unplug the Segway HT, and observe the Charging Indicator LEDs
27. When riding and you feel or hear a stick shake, your first reaction should be to: (b)
a. Press the Mode Button
b. Slow down
c. Call technical support
d. None of the above
28. If the Handlebar is crooked, you should: (c)
a. Twist it back into place
b. Lay the Segway HT on the floor to brace the Handlebar, and twist it back into
place
c. Loosen Control Shaft Clamp bolt, lay the Segway HT on the floor to orient the
Handlebar, push into place, and tighten Control Shaft Clamp bolt
d. Loosen and tighten the Height Adjustment Collar until you can move the
Handlebar back into place
