3. Setup
3.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the Cheerble Cat Ball. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the ball and to a compatible 5V=1A USB power adapter (not included). A full charge typically takes approximately 1 hour.
3.2 Powering On/Off and Mode Selection
To power on the device, press and hold the button on the ball for a few seconds until the LED lights activate. To cycle through the interaction modes, briefly press the button. To power off, press and hold the button again until the lights turn off.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Interaction Modes
The Cheerble Cat Ball M1 features three distinct interaction modes, indicated by different LED light colors:
- Normal Mode (Blue Light): Provides active rolling and bouncing, suitable for energetic and curious cats.
- Passive Mode (Green Light): Activates bouncing only upon contact, ideal for active hunter cats.
- Gentle Mode (Purple Light): Offers slow rolling or shaking on contact, designed for shy or timid cats.

4.2 Play-and-Rest Cycle
To prevent overstimulation and conserve battery, the ball operates in a play-and-rest cycle. After 10 minutes of continuous operation, it will automatically enter a 30-minute rest mode. The toy can be reactivated by touch during the rest period. After 30 minutes, it will resume operation for another 10 minutes. A fully charged ball can sustain approximately 4 such cycles.

4.3 Automatic Obstacle Avoidance
Equipped with an intelligent motion sensor, the Cheerble Cat Ball M1 can detect obstacles and tight spaces. It will automatically reverse direction or move away when encountering barriers, maintaining unpredictable movement to keep your cat engaged and preventing it from getting stuck.
4.4 Recommended Play Surfaces
For optimal performance, use the Cheerble Cat Ball M1 on hard, smooth surfaces such as wooden floors, tile, or low-pile carpets. It is not recommended for use on high-pile carpets, as this can impede its movement and functionality.

5. Charging
When the battery is low, the LED lights may dim or the ball may stop moving. Connect the provided USB cable to the charging port. The ball will indicate charging status (e.g., a specific light pattern). Ensure you use a 5V=1A adapter for safe and efficient charging. Using adapters with higher voltage or amperage may damage the device.
