Matching Frequency Channels 

The operating frequency channel is indicated by a sticker on the robot and OCU II. 
They must match for successful operation. To deploy multiple robots within the same 
area of operation, different channels must be used. 

When pairing an OCU II and a robot for operation, the channel designations must 
match identically. Equipment on channels A.2, B.2, and C.2 is not compatible with 
equipment programmed to channels A, B, and C.  
 
When operating multiple robot/OCU II systems simultaneously, make sure you are 
using two robots with different channel letters, for instance A.2 and C. Two robots, 
one on channel A.2 and one on channel A, will interfere with each other and not 
work well in the same environment.

 

 

 
Basic Deployment Instructions 

1.  Charge robot or OCU II if needed. 
2.  Rotate OCU II antennas to an upright position.  
3.  Switch OCU II on. 
4.  Pull pin from robot. Confirm that robot is broadcasting video and 

accepting command from the OCU II before deploying. 

5.  If using headphones with a Recon Scout XL robot, plug in and test 

the headphones at a low volume before using. 

6.  Deploy robot into target environment. 
7.  Wait two seconds after robot lands to allow gyroscope to stabilize   

before operating.
