The IR light is always turning on even in daylight, is my Recon 
Scout IR/XT/

Rescue 

Robot  broken? 

If there are dust or debris present on the IR blister, the light sensor may determine 
the environment has less ambient light than it really does.  Ensure that the IR blister is 
free of dust or debris by wiping it with a soft towel. 

 

The OCU screen is black, but the Recon Scout Robot can still be 
controlled, what is going on? 

If the screen is black, it typically means that the backlight in the LCD screen is 
broken.  This is generally caused by dropping or other action which causes an impact 
to the OCU.  Contact your authorized service station for repair information. 

 

The Recon Scout Robot /OCU don’t seem to be holding a charge, 
what can be done? 

First, give them a full charge.  Make sure the Recon Scout robot and OCU are off (pin 
in the robot, switch off on the OCU).  Charge them for a full six hours.  If the lights 
on the OCU start flashing, there may be a problem with the charger or the battery.  
Otherwise, after six hours, perform a runtime test by turning both devices on and 
driving them in place.  If they still do not get a full hour of runtime, contact your 
authorized service station for repair information.
