Protect Your Robot - Robotex AVATAR III User Manual

There are a few important practices you should follow when using
the Avatar® III on a regular basis. Failure to do so may damage your robot.
Before switching/removing payloads on the robot, make sure the robot battery is
unplugged.
Please make sure the battery ejector bar is
fully folded (over the top of the battery)
before locking the battery door of robot.
Please use RoboteX‐certified batteries ONLY. Other types of batteries might permanently
damage the robot, even though they have a similar form factor that will fit inside the unit.
There is ONLY ONE removable antenna on the controller. Please don't put it on the wrong
port (the correct antenna port is UNCOVERED).
Please make sure that the front flippers are flat when operating the arm. The easiest way
to flatten the flippers is to hold down the flipper control knob until the flippers stop
moving and are positioned flat against the ground.
While transferring recorded videos to USB, please don't unplug the USB stick before the
system finishes downloading files to it.
Please make sure that the 5 metal pads on the battery (shown below) are exposed and
clear of dust or dirt. If there is a label covering these pads, please remove it before use.
Failure to do so might cause the robot not to power on reliably.
