(50Hz/60Hz) Charging Time:
1 hour and 20 min It is required to charge the battery to bring it out of hibernation for the first use. Make sure the battery is fully charged before using. 5. Preparing the Gel Beads Soak the gel beads to the size with a diameter of 5.9 - 6.8 mm. It is recommended to use pure water, and it will take around 4 hours to finish soaking. The average load of the gel bead container is around 430 beads. Soak the appropriate number of gel beads according to actual usage. A. Fill the gel bead container with the soaked gel beads. B. Make sure to clean the remaining water in the container. The size of the soaked gel beads may vary when using different types of water. Make sure to soak the gel beads to the specific size to avoid block the launcher. 6. Preparing the Robot Installing the Gel Bead Container Removing the Gel Bead Container Installing and Powering On the Intelligent Battery Insert the Intelligent Battery, and then press and hold the power button to power it on. Battery Eject Button Checklist Before each use, check the robot and make sure that:
All the cables are securely and firmly connected to the motion controller, and the chassis rear cover is securely mounted. Cables of the intelligent controller, launcher, camera and speaker are securely and firmly connected. The microSD card is inserted into the intelligent controller. The intelligent controller antennas are adjusted to the vertical angle or oriented to the signal source. The Intelligent Battery is fully changed and mounted in position. 7.
