TURNING SPYKEE ON
•
Turn Spykee on by switching the button under the chassis to the "ON" position.
•
Spykee’s lights begin to flash rapidly: this means Spykee is searching for his favorite WiFi access point.
Since it’s your 1
st
use of your robot, you haven’t chosen yet any new favourite WiFi access point.
Spykee will then turn in local adhoc mode automatically (which is his default favourite WiFi mode) after
approximately 15 seconds: the robot will make a « Beep Beep » sound and his lights will blink slowly one after
another (to know more about the light statuses of your robot, refer to Chapter VI "
LIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF
THE ROBOT ").
•
If, for some reason, Spykee does not flash, check that the button is actually switched to "ON.” If this is the
case, then it may be that the battery is drained (see previous section).
