Page 8: Getting Started
Getting started Getting started After you have inserted batteries in Wrex the Dawg and the remote controller, you are ready to meet your new pooch! Wrex the Dawg has two power settings: one with Edge Detection and the other without. In normal operation Edge Detection can be used, however some surfaces may cause him to detect “false” edges and refuse to walk. In this case disabling the Edge Detection feature is useful. 1. First, locate the power switch on his underside and slide it to (ON with Edge Detection) or (ON without Edge Detection). 2. Next, press and hold the Start button on his back for approximately 3 seconds in order to begin the start- up routine. Wrex the Dawg will make a sound to indicate that he is ready to receive commands. You can bypass the start-up routine by pressing the red Stop button at the center of the Mood dial on the remote controller. NOTE: If you do not press the Start button within 30 seconds, Wrex the Dawg will automatically begin his start-up routine. NOTE: If, after the third attempt you cannot start Wrex the Dawg, he will automatically begin the start-up routine. 3. Next, place him upright, on a large smooth, flat surface, away from edges and obstacles. Verify whether Edge Detection is enabled or disabled. -
Page 9: Demo Mode Sight
Demo Mode / Sight Demo Mode Wrex the Dawg has a demo routine to show you his movements, animations and personality! To access Demo Mode, point the remote controller at Wrex the Dawg and turn the Trick dial (the bottom dial on the remote controller) to the Demo button and press the green Go button located at the center of the Trick dial. NOTE: Wrex the Dawg moves around during his demo routine. Ensure his surrounding area is free from obstacles and edges. Sight Wrex the Dawg can “see” in front of him. This allows him to detect edges, obstacles, and you! His IR sensors are based reflection. He can see highly reflective surfaces, such as white walls or mirrors more easily and from greater distances than matte or black surfaces. Wrex the Dawg reacts to movement in front of him when he is stationary -- but his reaction depends on his mood! He can track a moving item to the left or right of him, or respond to objects in front of him. If you place an object directly in front of him he will back up. You can make him sit down by holding the object in place as he moves back. If you place an object in front of him to one side, he will turn his head to look at it. If the object remains, he will perform a mood-based animation! If Edge Detection is turned on, he can also detect when he is being picked up if he is standing still, on all fours. -
Page 10: Edge Detection
Edge Detection / Reprogramming hatch / Turning off the IR sensors Edge Detection Wrex the Dawg is equipped with Edge Detection; this feature is only enabled when the power switch is set to the correct position (refer to page 7) and when Wrex the Dawg is moving straight forward. He cannot use Edge Detection when he is turning or moving backward. If he approaches an edge from an angle, he might not detect it. NOTE: Wrex the Dawg might not be able to detect an edge near a reflective surface, or false surface such as an open drawer or a chair pushed up against a table. NOTE: You can also disable Edge Detection manually by setting the power switch to Reprogramming hatch Wrex the Dawg has a “secret” reprogramming hatch on his back, which you can use to enter special codes that change his behavior (refer to page 14). Turning off the IR sensors If you want to prevent Wrex the Dawg from detecting obstacles you can turn off his IR sensors. To do so, simply type the code 1111 using the buttons in his reprogramming hatch. Note that this will also turn off his Edge Detection if it is currently enabled. The same code can also turn the IR sensors back on, however Edge Detection can only be re-enabled if the power switch is set to (refer to page 7). -
