Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Robot does not respond. | Low battery in robot or remote; power switch off; not paired. | Charge robot battery; replace remote batteries; ensure both are ON; re-pair if necessary (refer to pairing instructions if applicable, though not explicitly in feature bullets). |
| Short playtime. | Battery not fully charged; old battery. | Ensure full charge (30-40 mins); consider replacing battery if performance degrades significantly over time. |
| Walkie-talkie function unclear or not working. | Out of range; interference; button not pressed correctly. | Ensure robot and remote are within 165 feet (without obstacles); avoid areas with strong electronic interference; press and hold the talk button firmly. |
| Gesture sensing not working. | Hand too far; incorrect gesture; sensor obstructed. | Ensure hand is within 5.9 inches; use clear, distinct gestures; check for any obstructions on the robot's sensors. |
