REMOTE CONTROL MODE

CONNECTING THE DEVICE
To remotely control or program the models with the app,
first you must wirelessly pair the app with the balancing
robotic base unit.
1. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on on your device. Open
the app on your device. Tap the Bluetooth symbol.
2. Choose HoverBots (A) from the list of Bluetooth devices.
The app will now pair with the robotic base unit. You will
then be taken to the home screen.
If you ever want to check or change the Bluetooth pairing,
tap the Bluetooth logo in the upper left corner of the
screen (B).
When the Bluetooth symbol is lit up in green, the
Bluetooth connection is active. When the Bluetooth
symbol is grayed out, it is disconnected (C).
REMOTE CONTROL MODE
It's a good idea to start experimenting with your models
in remote control mode. Here's how:
1. Tap the remote control button (D) on the home screen.
The remote control mode screen opens.
2. By default, the balancing I/O switch (E) is set to I,
indicating it is turned on. (The balancing technology
must be turned on in order for the models to balance.)
3. The specific balance setting that is enabled is indicated
by the letter in the circle below the I/O switch (F). To
change the setting, tap the setting letter. The balance
settings page will open. Then tap the file icon to enter
balance settings library. The default balance setting
recommended for use with each model is given on the
programming page for each model later in this manual.
4. The control pad area (G) allows you to move the model.
Press and hold on the control pad area, and then drag
your finger around the pad to move your model in any
direction.
5. You can choose up to four light and sound effects and
assign them to buttons on the remote control screen.
Tap the plus sign button (H) and select which effect to
assign to that button (I). When controlling the model,
you can press these buttons to activate the effect. Press
the button again to deactivate the effect.
6. Press the reset button to clear your effects buttons (J).
