Basic Setup And Maintenance; Installing The Battery - Robotex AVATAR II User Manual

Basic Setup and Maintenance

A) Installing the Battery
1) The battery bay is located on the side of the robot. To open the battery bay, grip the
"Closing Knob" and push in, turning the knob in counter-clockwise direction. You
should feel a slight "pop" or "click," indicating the door is open. Pull the latch outward
and pull out the battery ejector bar to open the battery bay.
2) To install the robot battery, line up the connectors on the battery with the slots inside
the battery bay. Next, gently slide the battery into the bay. A properly installed battery
will slide entirely into the robot – if any part of the battery is sticking out, remove
battery, flip, and reinsert.
3) Close the battery bay door by returning the door to
its closed position, making sure the folding bar is
folded over the battery and the upper lip of the
battery door tucks underneath the top strip of the
battery bay. Shut the latch and turn the "Closing
Knob" clockwise. You should feel a "pop" or click"
when battery door has closed.
IF FLIPPERS ARE BLOCKING BATTERY DOOR,
MOVE THEM MANUALLY IN PAIRS. FRONT AND
BACK FLIPPERS MUST BE MOVED IN PAIRS. DO
NOT MOVE ONE FLIPPER AT A TIME.
