1. Keep the On/Off button pressed (for approx. 10 seconds) until the "OFF" symbol
appears in the display.
The batteries are also switched off (slight self-discharge).

6.2.2 Use of the battery status display when using
external batteries
WARNI NG!
Danger to life from overestimating the remaining range.
This can result in severe physical injury or in death.
Before starting a trip, make yourself familiar with the travel area, because the
range displayed on the on-board computer does not take wind, current, and
direction of travel into account.
Build in a sufficient buffer for the necessary range.
When operating using external batteries which do not communicate with the
databus, enter the connected battery capacity carefully.
Each season, carry out at least one calibration trip.
The range calculation displayed by the on-board computer does not take into ac-
count any changes in wind, current, or direction of travel. Changes in wind, current,
or direction of travel can result in much shorter ranges than displayed.
When operating the Cruise system using external batteries which do not communi-
cate with the motor via a databus (non-Torqeedo batteries), incorrect range infor-
mation may be generated:
If an incorrect battery capacity was set in the set-up menu.
If, over an extended period of use, no calibration trips were carried out, by
means of which the on-board computer can analyse and take into account the
ageing of the battery, see Chapter 9.2, "Calibration using external batteries".
During a trip, the on-board computer measures the energy used, and thus deter-
mines the battery charge in percent and the remaining range on the basis of the cur-
rent speed.
In calculating the remaining range, we do not take into account that AGM/gel bat-
teries are unable to provide their full power at higher currents.
Depending on the batteries used, this effect can result in the state of charge display
of the battery still indicating a relatively high state of charge in percent, while the
range remaining is relatively small.
