Chargers
Place the chargers in a cool, ventilated (fire safe) area. Attach robot or OCU to the
corresponding charger. Ensure devices are properly powered off before charging.
When the chargers are plugged into the wall, the
light turns green
to let you know
there is power.
When you plug the units (OCU or Recon Scout robot) into the chargers, the
light
turns red
to let you know the unit is charging.
When the light turns from red to green, it means the charger has entered trickle
mode. Allow the robot to trickle charge for an hour or two for best performance.

unit and the electrical cord.
Turn off OCU before charging.
Plug OCU charger unit electrical cord into charger transformer socket on the

Field Maintenance
The Recon Scout robot and OCU are designed to provide mission critical information
in harsh or hazardous environments, but no product is indestructible. In order to
ensure that the Recon Scout robot keeps performing as expected please follow these
steps after each usage of the Recon Scout robot
and OCU.
Recon Scout Robot
Maintenance
Wheels:
If a wheel is wobbly, tighten the nut. Do not over-tighten, the
wheel should spin freely.
Stabilizing Tail:
If tail is loose, use a 1/16 inch (1.59mm) Allen wrench
to tighten the bolts holding on the tail. Check crimping on tail-Scout
connection and weight at end of the tail.
Antennas:
Visually inspect for scuffing or cracking. You may bend the
antennas to point up from the Recon Scout to maintain performance.
Recon Scout IR , XT or
