Demo mode / Party mode / Volume control / Program function / Programming Roboboa / Program mode

Sleep  mode / Guard modes

Even if you interact with your Roboboa once the alarm is set, he’ll interrupt 
whatever he’s doing to play the alarm. If you need your robot to remind you to 
go somewhere in two hours (for example), you can still use him as a light or for 
fun and he’ll remember to activate his alarm. 

Note:

 To clear your alarm, wake up your Roboboa by pressing Stop, then press 

Reset  (hold  the Tail  /  Head  button  for  more  than  2  seconds),  or  execute  a 
Shutdown command (hold the Mode button then press Stop within 2 seconds), 
or power your robot Off from the power button in his tail.

When his alarm goes off, you can turn him off or Stop by pressing any Mode 
button.

Sleep  mode

Put Roboboa to sleep so you can carry him around and all his programs and 
alarm settings will be remembered.

CAUTION: 

If you have set an alarm, he will wake up on his own, so do not 

position him where he will hit things upon waking.

NOTE:

  If  left  asleep  for  more  than  24  hours,  he  will  enter  Shutdown  mode 

and all programs and settings will be lost unless you have pressed Daily. (See 
page 15)

Guard modes 

Roboboa can be used as a vigilant guard that can “protect” your desk, shelf, or 
doorway. Guard mode scans a room from left to right at about 45 degrees on 
each side, and to a range of several feet.

NOTE: 

Before  activating  any  guard  mode,  be  sure  to  place  him  on  an  open 

surface or floor.

To  activate  the  Guard  mode,  press  the  Guard  button.  When  your  Roboboa 
enters  guard mode,  he first “loads”  himself up,  then starts to scan the room 
for objects.  

The  following  table  outlines  the  Guard  mode  functions  from  the  remote 
controller:

Program function

The following outlines the Program function on the remote controller:

Programming Roboboa

You  can  program  your  Roboboa  with 
a  sequence  of  up  to  40  steps.  He’ll 
remember  exactly  what  you  program 
him  to  do,  and  afterwards,  he’ll  repeat 
the same thing back to you.

Program mode

While programming your robot, be sure you are pointing the remote directly 
at the robot’s face for each step. This will ensure that your program steps are 
properly recorded as he moves around.  
As you enter functions, the robot will execute that function and play a ‘beep’ at 
the end to confirm that it has been stored. You cannot move on to program the 
next step until the 

“beep”

 sound completes.

The maximum number of program steps is 40. If you fill up the program memory, 
Roboboa makes a sound, automatically saves your program, and executes it.

NOTE: 

Every time you enter Program mode, the Roboboa puts you at the end 

of the last program entered.  This allows you to fine-tune long programs easily 
using the Back function (see next page) or add new commands to your previous 
program.
During  Program  mode,  press  the  Execute  button  at  any  time  to  store  your 
program and auto-execute your routine. Do not press Stop to end programming: 
Stop is just stored as a half-second delay in your program sequence.
