REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Replacing the batteries
with the body stretched out
Changing the batteries when the body is
stretched out is in general a little easier. If you
want to change the batteries while the body
is stretched out, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screw on the robot’s underside
(between the hind legs).
• Open the battery compartment cover by
folding the flap and the back legs backward.
• Pull out the battery compartment and change the batteries.
Replacing the batteries with the body curled up
It could obviously happen that the batteries completely run out while the robot is curled
up. In this case, you have to stretch the robot’s body out by hand.
• Loosen clips A21 and B11.
• Loosen clips A20 and B12.
• Now you can manually stretch out the
robot. This will help you get to the battery
compartment and change the batteries
as described above.
• You then have to refit the clips in
their places.
Please observe the instructions for handling batteries on page 8.
As the body of the hedgehog might be either stretched out or rolled up as a ball when you intend to
replace batteries, please firstly identify which scenario it is and follow the instruction respectively.
The hegdehog runs out of battery completely when its body is fully stretched out. Please follow the
steps below to replace batteries:
1. Loosen the screws that secure battery case to replace batteries.
2. Press the button 2 seconds to reboot the hedgehog after replacing batteries. By now it should have
entered “ stand by ” mode and be able to operate normally.
There is still surplus electricity in the batteries. Regardless of current shape of the hedgehog (rolled up
or stretched out), please direct it to “ maintenance mode ” first by pressing the button 7 seconds to allow
it fully stretch out as well as LED light go completely faded. Follow steps as scenario1 to finish battery
replacement.
When your hedgehog rolls into a ball as illustration below with no reaction to your long press to the
button, please follow steps below to replace batteries.

TIP!
If the robot is curled up and there is
still some energy in the batteries,
you can activate maintenance
mode. In this mode, the body is
stretched out and you can change
the batteries as described. You
activate the maintenance mode by
keeping the button on the robot’s
head pressed for seven seconds.
