Parental control
Signal failure activates the safety brake (fail-safe). When a brake trigger comes out of reach of the brake unit (20-30m), the safety brake is activated. When the signal is restored, the brake cycle ends, and wheels will no longer be locked. It takes two seconds for the control to lose the signal until the fail-safe is activated. The safety brake ensures that the attendant always has contact with the brakes in every situation
Charging
It is recommended to charge approximately after every fourth trip to make sure you always have enough battery. Use the SmartBrake charger for both the brake Unit and the brake Lever. Brake trigger and Hand control use a CR2032 battery. The fully charged is signified by a green light after approximately 3 hours.
