Safety Shutdown (cont.)
WARNING
Theft detection systems, such as the type used in some libraries and retail
stores can interfere with the Segway PT’s ability to balance and/or cause the
PT to perform a Safety Shutdown. Do not ride within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of
any theft detection system.
Table 9 shows the InfoKey Controller icon that displays when a Safety
Shutdown occurs. The table also describes the recommended action you
should take.
Figure 31: Security Systems
Display Icon Description Recommended Action
The system has detected a fault
and is slowing to zero speed
before shutdown (full PT Battery
charge level shown).
If a Safety Shutdown occurs:
1. Immediately come to a controlled stop.
2. Carefully step off one foot at a time. You have approximately
10 seconds from the start of the Safety Shutdown to come to a
controlled stop and step off the Powerbase.
Do not resume use of your PT after a Safety Shutdown has occurred
until you have identified and corrected the condition that caused it.
See "Troubleshooting the Segway PT" (p. 119).
