TROU B L ESHO O TI N G
PROBLEM:
Blazor won't turn on.
SOLUTION: First, check that Blazor's power switch is in the "ON" position. If it is, turn Blazor off and check that the batteries are
installed properly. If they are, it may be time to replace them. If after replacing the batteries Blazor still does not turn on,
contact Bossa Nova Robotics at www.i-loverobots.com
PROBLEM:
Blazor is moving slower than usual.
SOLUTION: This is a sign that Blazor's batteries are low on power. Replace them with new batteries. See Page 3 for instructions.
PROBLEM:
Blazor will not move, and he will only make sounds when I close his jaw.
SOLUTION: Check Blazor's power switch. Make sure that it is set to "ON" and not "TRY ME".
PROBLEM:
Blazor has stopped responding.
SOLUTION: Toggle Blazor's power switch "OFF" then "ON". If this does not solve the problem it may be time to replace his batteries.
See page 3 for instructions.
PROBLEM:
Blazor keeps running into walls or he stops running spontaneously.
SOLUTION: Wipe Blazor's nose with a damp cloth to make sure that his infrared sensor is not obstructed. If the problem persists,
check the lighting conditions - Blazor may not "see" correctly under fluorescent lights or in direct sunlight. Blazor's
sensors work best on hard objects such as walls and on flat even surfaces. NOTE: Blazor's obstacle avoidance only works
in "Search & Destroy" and "Guard" modes. It is OFF when you command the robot with the controller.
Blazor does not follow controller commands.
PROBLEM:
SOLUTION: Blazor's controller's emitter needs to be facing Blazor's sensors (located in his nose) unobstructed in order for him to
receive commands (see Page 4). Sometimes certain lighting conditions will interfere with Blazor's IR receivers, so try
moving him to a different room. If this does not solve the problem, replace the controller's batteries with new ones, as the
power may be too low for it to transmit effectively.
PROBLEM:
Blazor has become wet.
SOLUTION: If you notice condensation or evidence that Blazor or his controller has become wet, IMMEDIATELY turn the power switch
to "OFF", and remove the batteries. Put Blazor in a dry, room-temperature environment for 48 hours. Install new batteries.
If Blazor does not function properly thereafter, he may need to be serviced.
PROBLEM:
Blazor needs to be cleaned.
SOLUTION: Turn Blazor's power switch to "OFF". Remove the batteries. Clean with a lightly dampened cloth and allow him to dry
properly before installing the batteries again. Repeat as necessary. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN BLAZOR WITH SOLVENTS OR OTHER CHEMICALS.
