Attaching The Antennas; Setting Up The Flippers; Powering On The Robot And Controller - Robotex AVATAR II User Manual

B) Attaching the Antennas
Make sure that both the robot and the controller antennas are plugged in before powering
the unit on.
The controller antenna attaches to the silver port on the top left of the controller. DO NOT
plug it into the covered black port on the top right side of the controller.
The robot antenna plugs into the radio port in the rear of the robot (located on the
backside of the robot, directly between the back flippers). The robot antenna should
already be installed when you unpack the robot.
C) Setting up the Flippers
Before driving the robot, please make sure that both sets of flippers are unfolded. If the
robot is being taken out of a case, it is likely that both sets of flippers will be folded in.
Straighten out the front set and back set of flippers separately. When unfolding a set of
flippers (front or back), make sure to grip both flippers and move the two flippers in each
pair (front pair or back pair) at the same time. Push outward (away from payload ports -
it's OK to apply some force) to straighten out the flippers.
D) Powering On the Robot and Controller
Robot
There is no on/off switch on the robot itself. The robot is powered on and off by inserting
and removing the battery.
Power On: The robot is powered on whenever the battery is installed.
Power Off: The robot is powered off whenever the battery is removed.
Controller
The Controller has a small black power button located in the top right corner of the
controller (just above the screen).
Power On: The Controller is powered on by pressing the black round power button.
Power Off: The Controller is powered off by pressing and holding the black round power
button down until the LED light turns off (this will occur after holding the power button for
approximately 4 seconds).
