robot while it is plugged into an external power source. If the problem persists,
call our Customer Support line.
F. The robot does not power on when a battery is installed.
1: Check to see that the battery is not completely discharged.
2: Be sure that the connections on the battery are clean and that the
corresponding connections on the robot are clean.
3: If the robot or battery is wet when the battery is inserted, water may get into
the battery connector and prevent the robot from powering up. Use canned
compressed air or a hair dryer to dry the connectors on the battery and the
corresponding connector on the robot. It may be necessary to let the robot dry for
24‐48 hours before attempting to use the robot again.
4: Check the red power button on the left side of the robot. It should move freely.
If it does not move or it is jammed, try moving the metal shroud that covers the
cooling fan by hand. It may be necessary to remove the metal shroud and clean
any dirt or debris from around the red button. If the problem persists, call our
Customer Support line.
