Instruction

Turn on the robot using the switch on the side of the robot (see photo). Check at the bottom of the robot if there's a green light/LED on, which means power on.

• If the light is not on, it might be because the robot is low battery.
  • If so, charge robot with a USB C cable (use your laptop USB port or phone charger).
  • A red LED is turned on at the bottom of the robot to show the charger is working. You can use the robot while it’s charging.

When the robot is turned on, there will be a sequence of green light running around the body of the robot, following by a purple light blinking on the LED display, indicating that the robot finished starting up.
