Touchscreen PTZ Reset Button:
• Pressing this button (on the touchscreen) resets the PTZ camera focus
and viewing angle (back to a level position).
B) Manipulator Arm Controls
Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 on pages 14-15 for arm diagram and controller button labels
for arm use.
NOTE: Please make sure that the front flippers are flat and the rear robot weight is
attached when operating the arm. This will stabilize the robot's weight distribution
Touchscreen Arm/Drive Mode Switching:
• When this button is displayed in the lower right hand corner of the
screen, the robot is in "Arm Mode." This means that both joysticks will
control the arm. Full arm control is enabled in this mode only. Driving
and robot movement are disabled in this mode. Press this button
(on the touchscreen) to toggle to drive mode.
• When this is displayed in the lower right hand corner of the screen, the
robot is in "Drive Mode." Driving and partial arm control is enabled. In
this mode, the left stick controls robot movement and the right stick
controls the arm. Full arm control is disabled.
