Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your BeAndge STEM kits, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down components. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as these can damage electronic parts.
- Storage: Store disassembled or assembled models in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Keep small parts in their designated bags or containers to prevent loss.
- Battery Care: Remove batteries from models that will not be used for extended periods to prevent leakage and corrosion. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
- Component Inspection: Periodically check for loose connections, worn gears, or damaged wires. Replace any damaged parts if possible, or contact support.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BeAndge STEM kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Model Not Working:
- Check battery installation: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity and are not depleted.
- Verify all connections: Make sure all wires are securely connected and not loose.
- Inspect for obstructions: Ensure no parts are jammed or preventing movement.
- Re-read instructions: Double-check assembly steps for any missed or incorrect placements.
- Missing Parts:
- Carefully check all packaging and the work area. Small parts can be easily overlooked.
- If parts are genuinely missing, contact BeAndge customer support.
- Difficulty Assembling:
- Refer to the detailed instruction booklet for the specific model.
- Ensure you are using the correct components for each step.
- Seek assistance from an adult or experienced builder if needed.
