CHOOSE COMMAND
To select a bowl, activate the Choose Switch:
RETURN COMMAND
After eating from the Spoon, either the Deliver Switch or the Choose Switch can be activated.
Press the Deliver Switch to return the Arm to the same Bowl. Press the Choose Switch to
return the Arm to a different Bowl.
FOOD REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT COMMAND
If the diner initiates a Return Command immediately before or after the Spoon arrives at the food delivery
location, the Arm will dispense the food back in the proper Bowl.
REPOSITION SEQUENCE
After several scoops from the same bowl, Obi will automatically use the Spoon to reposition
food back to the center of the bowl.
ONE SWITCH MODE
Obi can operate off of one Accessibility Switch. The installed Accessibility Switch will act like a
Deliver Switch. That is, Obi will automate the choosing of bowls (moving one bowl position
counterclockwise) every few delivery cycles.
SLEEPING
After two minutes of inactivity, the Arm will move to the Storage Position to save battery power. In this
position, the Arm remains stationary and the power button will stay illuminated. During this time, if the device
senses any command, Obi will immediately wake up and continue normal operation. If the half hour elapses
without any command, Obi will automatically power off.
COLLISION DETECTION
If an object interferes with the moving Arm, Obi will stop and slightly back away. During this
situation, the Power Button will flash. After the collision occurs, please first remove the
obstructing object. When ready, press either switch and Obi will continue the intended path.
Note1:
If the Spoon collides with an object, it is likely to disconnect from the Arm and fall. This
occurs to prevent injury.
POWERING OFF
To turn off Obi, gently touch the Power Button continuously for one second. Obi will proceed
to the Storage Position and turn off.
Note1:
If the power off command initiates while the Arm is in motion, the Power Button will
repeatedly double flash. This signals “command received” and Obi will proceed to the Storage
Position and turn off once present movement is finished.
