The wireless receiver for the controller is pre-installed in the robot at the time of shipment. To power the controller, insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the controller.

Step 4: If the connection fails, turn off both the robot and the controller. Then repeat the steps above.

Sleep Mode: If the controller is not connected to the robot within 30 seconds after being powered on, or if there is no user input for 5 minutes after connection, the controller will enter sleep mode. To wake the controller, simply press the “START” button.
