Check the Battery Level
○ If no LED lights up, or only a red LED lights
up, the battery may be discharged, and it is
recommended to use a 5V-2A charger to
charge it. It may take 3 to 5 hours to charge
the battery.
○ Otherwise, if the LEDs light up normally, as
shown in the Power ON and test... video,
after 30-40 seconds, you will hear two beeps,
and the LEDs below the battery symbol will
turn off.
Power off MECHA by pressing the power button for 3 to 5 seconds.
