Preparation
1.
Inspect outer carton for damages; open carton and inspect for internal damage. Report any damage to
your freight carrier or dealer.
2.
Remove your new board, remote control and charger. Plug charger into wall and electric skateboard to
begin charging process. Lights on the charger will blink until a full charge is attained.
3.
Be sure that you are thoroughly familiar with all of the features and controls discussed in this manual
before you ride.
4.
All safety equipment should be worn at all times when on the board – even when riding for short
distances or durations! Make sure that the area in which you plan to ride is paved, level, free of
obstacles, clear of power lines, radio antennas, and is not crowded.
Getting Started
Before riding your new board, please be sure you fully understand how your board operates.
Charging the Battery
Before first use, make sure your electric skateboard has a full charge. A full charging cycle can take 4 to 6
hours.
•
A green indicator light on the charger means the battery is fully charged.
•
A steady red or flashing red indicator light means the battery is in charging mode. Charge until the
light turns a steady green.
•
If your powerboard also has a battery charge indicator on the battery box, do not rely on the indicators
to reveal strength of the battery.
Adjust Electric Skateboard’s Speed Range
Your board has 3 adjustable speed ranges:
High
,
Medium
and
Low
. A slide switch is located in the remote
control gun – just under the 9-volt battery – that controls the speed range. To adjust the speed capacity,
turn off the wireless remote and remove the 9-volt battery from compartment of the base of remote control
handle. Locate the slide switch inside the compartment. Set the switch to the desired speed range: left
=
slow;
middle
=
middle range; right=fastest speed range. (See picture, below left.)
Turning the Board On
1.
To turn the board on, press the black rubber power button located on the side of the board’s black
battery box. By depressing the button you will hear a “click” and see a red light come on, indicating
the board has been powered on.
2.
Next, turn on the power of the wireless remote control. If the 9-volt battery in the remote is charged,
you will hear a faint, high-pitched beep indicating the remote has been powered on.
Be sure to follow this sequence in order when turning on your board:
1) turn on the board, then 2) turn on the remote – or your electric skateboard will not work.
Note: Your board also has an automatic shut-off to prolong battery life. If the board is not used for about 10
minutes, power shuts off automatically. Turn back on to restart.
Riding Your Board
Once your board is on, SLOWLY pull the trigger toward you to accelerate. To decelerate, SLOWLY release
the trigger. To slow to a stop, push the trigger
away
from you.
WARNING! Your Altered™ Electric Skateboard is powerful. Never pull the
trigger quickly or release it suddenly with no resistance. If you step on and
pull the trigger quickly, you will be thrown backward off the board.
If traveling at high speed, pushing the lever forward quickly (engaging the
brake) could throw you forward, headfirst off the front of the board.
Know your limits and accelerate and brake accordingly!
Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote control regulates the speed of the board:
Pulling the trigger
toward you
will accelerate the board.
Releasing the lever will return it to the near-neutral position, and allow you to coast downhill.
Pushing the trigger
away from you
will engage braking.
IMPORTANT: The Altered™ wireless remote uses a unique, close proximity low-frequency radio signal
that minimizes the possibility of signal interference. However, signal interference may occur within about 3
feet / 1 meter of other Altered™ Electric Skateboards, or with high power lines, cell phones or other signal-
emitting devices.
Use caution and check your ride area for signal interference before use.
Riding Tips
•
Pull the trigger very slowly until you start to feel the motor engage. If you get on the board and pull the
trigger quickly the board will throw you off the back.
Speed range control is adjusted
with the slide switch underneath
the 9-volt battery in the hand
controller.
1. Turn on the battery
box power first…
2. …Then turn on
the hand controller.
Key Features of Your Altered™ Electric Skateboard
Your Altered™ Electric Skateboard is a state-of-the-art electric-powered skateboard offering
the following features:
Variable Speed Control
You control your speed by moving the remote control trigger.
Pulling the trigger
toward you
increases
your speed.
Pushing the trigger
away from you
decreases
your speed to approximately the halfway
point, where the power is in neutral.
Pushing the trigger away from you
beyond the halfway point
applies
braking power
.
ABS Electronic Brake
Push the trigger gradually and steadily away from your body to achieve safe breaking. Our
technology allows for a stable deceleration with a gradual increase in braking power as speed
decreases.
Universal and Selective Controller
Our wireless remote controller is
universal
– Altered™ Electric Skateboard controllers can be
used with any of the same model/specification. Our wireless remote controller is
selective
–
when an Altered™ Electric Skateboard controller is controlling a skateboard, other controllers
cannot interfere unless they are in VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY (within 3 feet / 1 meter).
Emergency Brake Anti-Collision Protection
If you fall off your board it will brake immediately and not run off into the sunset.
Board and Remote Control Automatic Shutoff
Both the board and the wireless remote control have automatic shutoff protection to preserve
the batteries in each unit should you forget to turn off either. (Units shut off after 10 minutes of
non-use.)
