CONTROLLING THE ROBOT

WARNING: Never play with your robot in the street.

CAUTIONS: Do not use the robot on a wet floor, on sand, or in mud, rain, or snow. These can damage it.
If the robot moves slowly, and you have installed fresh batteries, check the wheel mechanisms and remove any lint, thread, hair, or dust you find.

1. Set OFF/ON on the back of the robot to ON. The robot circles clockwise or runs in a straight line, depending on how the robot was running when it was last turned off.
2. To change the robots direction, press and hold down the transmitter's button. If the robot was running in a straight line, it stops. Then it circles clockwise as long as you hold down the button.  If the robot was circling clockwise, it stops. Then it runs in a straight line as long as you hold the button.

NOTES: Your robot has a mind of its own. It sometimes continues to either circle clockwise or run in a straight line even when you release the transmitter's button. If this happens, simply press the button again to change the robot's direction.

Your robot stops when it runs into anything, but the motor keeps running. If this happens, either press and hold down the button on the transmitter to circle backwards, or move the robot by hand.

3. To stop the robot, press and release the transmitter's button. The robot changes direction, runs for a few seconds, then stops.
4. When you finish controlling the robot, set OFF/ON to OFF.

These hints can help you get the most enjoyment from your robot.

1. For maximum battery life, turn the robot off for 45 minutes after every 15 minutes of continuous use.
2. If the robot moves slowly or not at all, replace the robot's batteries.
3. If the robot's motor runs but the robot does not respond to the transmitter, move closer to the robot and try again. If the robot's motor still does not respond, replace the transmitter's 9-volt battery.
4. If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with control of the robot. If this happens, move the robot away from the CB.
5. You cannot operate your robot near devices with transmitter's which use the same frequency.
