WARNING
Keep robotic system dry. Light bursts of air are safe to use in order to clear out the chassis
of dust and minor debris. If necessary, use a damp cloth to wipe down chassis and
wheels. Be sure to dry any moisture immediately.
Periodically conduct a visual inspection of the electrical components on the robot. Ensure
there are no exposed wires, blown fuses, or corrosion.
Corrosion Hazard - Storing your equipment for extended periods of time, without
being checked on biweekly, is NOT ADVISED. Moisture in the air, and prolonged
exposure to extreme temperatures will damage the robotic system components.
• All equipment should be parked, shut down, fully charged, and boxed up when not in
use.
• Keep equipment in a climate-controlled storage facility that is cool and dry.
• Fully charge equipment every two weeks.
• Conduct a functions check of equipment every month.
Note -
The smooth and successful operation of this robotic system requires a lot of time and
training. Take care of your new robot, so that it will take care of you. Treat it the same way you
treat any other important piece of equipment. This system is NOT INDESTRUCTABLE.
Equipment will not power up
Equipment will not connect wirelessly
Broken or Missing parts
Common Problems & Solutions (Continued)
This is likely due to a battery issue. Components may have been left on, or not fully
charged before putting into storage. Charge the system. Leave the system to charge for
six to eight hours. Try operating the robot. If there are still issues with batteries not taking
a charge, one or more batteries is dead, and will have to be replaced.
The Fuse may have blown. Check fuses to see if they need to be replaced.
There are many situations where there may be interference with the radio signals that
control the robot. Examples: near a cell phone tower, did not start up robot near the
controller, controller too close to the robot, low battery, and have more than one robot on
in the same area.
Try to correct any of these and reconnect to the robot by restarting the power to the robot
and controller.
In the event there are any broken or missing parts stop using the robot. Inspect the
components to determine if the robot absolutely requires these parts to function. Some
parts can be broken, and the robot will still function in order to complete a mission. Other
parts are critical to the function of the robot and require repair or replacement.
If it is unknown as to whether the robot will function properly, stop using the robot and
contact SuperDroid Robots Inc. by telephone or e-mail.
