Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
On first startup, the PLEN Cube enters 'Hotspot Mode'. Connect your device to the Wi-Fi network named 'plencube...' using the password 'plencube'. Open a browser and navigate to 10.42.0.1 (or 42.0.1 as listed in some firmware) to access the setup screen and connect the robot to your local network.
The default wake word is 'Hirakegoma' (Japanese for 'Open Sesame'). Speak it slowly and clearly; the robot will turn toward you and emit a sound when it listens for a command.
To restart, press and hold the power switch for 5 seconds to turn the device off. Then, press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds to turn it back on.
A flashing red status LED indicates an error or battery issue. If this occurs while charging or operating, disconnect the cable immediately and stop using the device.
If network connection fails or you need to switch networks, restart the device. If it cannot connect to known networks, it will revert to Hotspot Mode, allowing you to perform the setup process again.
