Turn your robot completely off from the remote control.
The following table describes the Shutdown function.
Roboboa will emit a Shutdown sound to confirm that he is completely shut
down. You can only wake him up by toggling the power button on the robot’s
tail OFF then back ON.

This mode turns your robot into a remote-controlled spotlight with three-

You can enable the Light mode by
pressing the Mode button on the
remote controller, or the Mode

Safety light mode
Press and hold the Mode button on the remote controller or on top of the
Roboboa’s head for more than 2 seconds. Roboboa can act like a stationary
back yard safety light, turning on his lights when anything disturbs his focused
forward beam.
Roboboa indicates that he
is in Safety mode when his
mouth flashes red every
few seconds as shown.
When Roboboa detects an
object in front of his face,
he powers on his face
lights as shown.
When Roboboa is in Safety mode, he will “autorange” his vision beam to the
nearest object about 5 feet (1.5 meters) away, counting in 6 equal beats. This
means if you point him at a near wall or object, he’ll automatically figure out
the distance and trigger on anything that gets closer than that.
CAUTION:
Safety mode never times out as long as the robot has power. Your
robot will remain functional for many days in SAFETY mode on fresh batteries,
but remember to turn him OFF if he is not used for extended periods.
Remote flashlight mode
Press the Mode button on the remote controller twice quickly. The remote
controller turns into a flashlight useful for finding your Roboboa in the dark.
Press either the Mode button twice quickly to turn the light on, and twice again
to turn off, or press Stop. The light will also fade off by itself about 5 minutes.
Mode functions
You can also use the 8 Mode actions on the remote controller as shortcuts to
roving and lighting actions:
