Power ON

②

to select PLAY

Press MODE

③

press START

(2) Check the robot’s basic posture (this check veries proper assembly)

The robot assumes the position illustrated in the picture below when turned on.

If the robot does not assume the posture below please refer to page 10.

Ch eck the angle s the arms
and legs.
If different from the illustration
go to page 8.

Check if the cables are connected
