SETUP AND HOW TO OPERATE THE ROBOT
Step # 1
Read and study this manual completely before operating the robot.
Step # 2 Install and charge the batteries
To put the robot battery in the robot, tip the robot slightly to access the wing nut on the battery
door. This is located on the bottom back of the robot. After removing the wing nut, open the
door and lay the battery on the door with the battery wire harness running from left to right.
Attach the Battery connector (square black and red), to the robot connector (also square black
and red). Match red to red and black to black and connect them.
Note: The battery connector and robot connector look identical but they do connect together.
The battery door can now be closed and the wing nut put back on.
Be certain that the robot battery and radio control transmitter battery are fully charged before
operating the robot. Plug the RC battery charger into the side of the radio control and the
charging light will come on. The Pluggie battery can be charged in the robot or out. See the
Pluggie battery charging chapter.
Step # 3 Powering up
The
radio control transmitter
will be referred to as the
“RC”
in this manual. Turn the RC
"ON" first and then turn the robot "ON".
Important RC power up steps:
1. Put the four top switches in the forward
position.
2. Turn on the power switch. The display
will read switch error.
3. Move the top left switch (mp3) toward
you and the display will now come on.
Check that the RC battery voltage is 9 Volts or more. A fresh battery will show about 10 Volts
on the display. At about 8.5 Volts you will hear a buzzer indicating the battery is low and you
should charge the battery.
Tip:
There is a hook on the RC that you can attach a neck strap to. You can use any RC or
camera type neck strap.
The "ON/OFF/RECHARGE" switch for the robot is located on the bottom left of the robot if you
are standing behind the robot. Push the switch forward to turn the robot on (On/Off positions
are labeled). The back position of the switch is the charging position.
Step # 4 Set the Volumes
Check that the volume of the voice and MP3 player are at the level that you want. These
volumes are located on the RC. You can also increase the master volume on the (Road Rage)
Amp inside the robot if needed. There is also a separate volume on the UHF wireless voice
receiver. To remove the cap, just grasp the bottom of the cap with your hands and give a short
MP3 Switch
