BATTERY GUIDELINES
For better performance, use alkaline batteries.
Don’t use old and new batteries together or mix
different battery types.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Insert batteries with the correct polarity.
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the unit.
When not in use, for a long time, remove batteries to
prevent possible leakage.
Your CommandoBOT does not respond correctly to your
commands.
Make sure you are saying the command EXACTLY as
you did when you trained your CommandoBOT.
Say
“CommandoBOT” or whatever you have named it.
Wait for it to respond “Yes, Master” and repeat your
command again.
Do not speak directly into the microphone. Your
breathing may affect the voice recognition accuracy.
Do not get too close to your CommandoBOT. The best
operating distance is 3 feet away from your
CommandoBOT.

the same time.
It may be necessary to retrain your CommandoBOT if it
has repeated difficulty responding correctly to your
commands.
Your CommandoBOT will not respond or stop.
Press the MODE button on the headset once briefly to
reset your CommandoBOT. Speak to your
CommandoBOT again, first by calling it by name and
then, after it says “Yes, Master”, repeating the command
EXACTLY as you did when you trained it.
If your CommandoBOT is slow to respond.
Check the batteries - you may need to replace them.
Your CommandoBOT was switched off during training
and now won’t respond.
DO NOT switch off the power during training. If you do,
