I cannot find any information in the reference manual on this blinking/toggling back & forth of the open and winking eye face??? What does this mean and does it have anything to do with why it will only go fairly slow. My other i2 leaves it in the dust and doesn't display this type of face. Note: when I use the other infokey I have for it, it doesn't go slow but does also have the winking & open eye face. What does this mean? I look forward to the replies on this.

When you say 'fairly slow' could you put a number to it? Also, does his mouth change also? (Usually from a smile to a flat expression or even a frown)

Lastly, when in the glide is this? If right near the beginning (unplugged less than a 1/4 mile ago) it may have to do with being used hard without a good idea of what is in the batteries.

Mine will give some reduced performance if I glide too hard, or down a big hill, right at the start of the glide. Later on, it is fine.

This is because the machine samples the batteries to get a power consumption rate, and it can predict use and distance. At the very beginning of the glide, it does not have enough samples, and when pushed, will go into reduced performance mode rather than overtax itself.

Later in the glide, it will have plenty of samples and let it do as much as it will let you do.

So... Any more details to help with this diagnosis from afar?
