2. Battery Installation & Charging

• Main Unit: The technique car comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Connect the included USB charging cable to the battery pack and a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The battery provides optimal running time and is easy to charge.
• Remote Control: The 2.4GHz remote control requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment securely.

3. APP Download & Connection

To utilize the APP control features, download the BEHOWL control application on your mobile device (smartphone or tablet). The app can typically be found by scanning a QR code in the instruction manual or searching in your device's app store.

• Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
• Turn on the assembled technique car.
• Open the BEHOWL app and follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your model via Bluetooth.

Operating Instructions

The BEHOWL Technique Car offers flexible control options through both a physical remote control and a mobile application.

1. Remote Control Operation

The 2.4GHz remote control allows for direct manipulation of the assembled model. Use the joysticks or buttons on the remote to control movement, direction, and any specific functions of your chosen model (e.g., tank turret rotation, robot arm movement).

2. APP Control Modes

The mobile application provides advanced control and programming capabilities. Once connected via Bluetooth, you can select from four distinct control modes:

• Remote Control Mode: Mimics the physical remote control, allowing you to steer and operate the model using virtual joysticks on your screen.
• Path Mode: Draw a path on your device's screen, and the model will automatically follow the drawn route.
• Gravity Sensor Mode: Control the model's movement by tilting your mobile device, utilizing its built-in gravity sensor.
• Programming Mode: A visual programming interface allows you to create custom sequences of movements and actions for your model, fostering logical thinking and coding skills.
