the packing box to put down the robotic arm gently and place it correctly in direction of

arrow.



Commissioning of the incomplete machine is prohibited until it has been installed in a

machine and the whole machine complies with the provisions of the Machinery Directive

(2006/42/EC).



It is prohibited to modify or remove the nameplates, instructions, icons and marks on the

robotic arm and the related equipment.



Please refer to Dobot Magician User Guide along with the packing box before using.

Precautions



Please make the Dobot Magician in the workspace with a 45° angle between the Forearm

and Rear Arm (as shown in Figure 1.1) before starting up. If the LED indicator turns red

after starting up, it indicates that the Dobot Magician is at a limited position. Please make

the Dobot Magician in the workspace.

Figure 1.1 The Forearm and Rear Arm position



Dobot Magician will move slowly to the specific position when shutdown. DO NOT put

hands into the workspace of the Dobot while running, to avoid bruising or pinching. Only

once the LED indicator completely turns off, the Dobot Magician can be powered down.



If the coordinates of the Dobot Magician shown on the DobotStudio are abnormal, please

press the

Reset

button on the back of the base to reset Dobot Magician or click

Home

the DobotStudio page to perform homing.



During resetting, Dobot Magician will disconnect from the PC automatically and the

LED indicator on the base turns yellow. About 5 seconds later, if the LED indicator

turns green, it indicates that the reset is successful.



During homing, Dobot Magician will rotate clockwise to the limited position and

then return to the homing point automatically, and the LED indicator on the base

turns blue and is blinking. After homing, if there is a beep sound and the LED

indicator turns green, it indicates that the homing is successful.



Please turn off the Dobot Magician completely first before connecting or disconnecting

external equipment, such as Bluetooth, WIFI, stick controller, infrared sensor, color

sensor, etc. Or, it causes damage to your device.
