Some common problems arise when you try to mount your hoverboard on high altitudes. You can fix the following issues by recalibrating hoverboard.
The hoverboard vibrates when you take it to high altitude. Vibration generally occurs when someone violates the lower weight limit of the board. Due to the low weight load, gyros find it challenging to keep you in a proper position and balance if they don’t have the correct configuration.
It might create a continuous beeping sound, and ultimately it becomes unresponsive.
What To Do Before Calibrating The Hoverboard?
Make sure the device is reclining correctly on a flat surface. Anything else alludes to improper calibration. Also, never try calibrating it upside down.
Turn the device completely off. Don’t put it in sleep mode. Instead, use the silver button for it.

Some hoverboards come enabled with Bluetooth features. If you have such a device, you can calibrate it via a mobile app. This process is almost the same as any other calibration. Just use your phone rather than holding its power button for 10 seconds.
After completing the above process through the phone, your hoverboard should now be ready to use. Run a test run on your board to make sure it is working correctly.
Note that an improper procedure or not following the guidelines may overlap with the Bluetooth components on your hoverboard. So you must follow every step in this how to calibrate a hoverboard guide to complete the process correctly.
Remote calibration

Powering down the board with the remote instead of pressing the off button may not fix the problem. This will bring the device into low power mode instead of shutting it down. In addition, it may cause the balance sensors to become off.
Some of the brands allow you remote control via a series of button presses. Go through the manual to discover the calibration process.
This method can give you a hard time. Therefore, we recommend the silver button method to perform the calibration.
