12. Before you proceed with your first ride, practice
powering off your Segway HT. You turn the power off
by pressing and holding the Mode Button on the
Handlebar for two seconds, until the Display shows
an orange sleepy face (the Display segments vary
depending on software version). The Segway HT will
now power off.
13. After you practice powering off, power on again with
the Beginner Key so that you see the following
Display:
14. Stand back from, or to the side of the Segway HT.
While holding the Handlebar so the Platform is
level, briefly tap (press and release) the Mode
Button. After you tap the Button, you should hear a
tone and see a green smiling face in the Display. A
green smiling face means that the Segway HT is in
Balance Mode and ready to ride. You will also notice
a vertical bar scrolling across the face.
Check that the Segway HT is in Balance Mode by
slowly moving the Handlebar forward and back and
making sure that the Wheels respond. Never
attempt to step on the Segway HT unless you have
confirmed that it is in Balance Mode by seeing the
green smiling face in the Display, and making sure
that it moves its Wheels when you move the
Handlebar.
If you fail to hold the Platform level, the Segway HT will
not enter Balance Mode. Move the Handlebar to make
the Platform level, and then tap the Mode Button again.
