INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: SETUP

POWERING THE OCU3

Flip the power switch at the base of the controller from the

Off to On Position. A splash screen should appear while

the OCU3 is loading. If the robot is powered on, video

from the robot should appear. Otherwise, the screen will

display static.

POWERING THE ROBOT

To activate the robot, pull the activation plate. Reinserting

the plate will turn the robot off. You will hear and feel

a click when the activation plate is fully seated with the

“shoulder” of the plate making contact with the housing

as shown below.

NOTE: When not in use,

always ensure the OCU is

switched off and the robot

activation plate is inserted.

QUICK START GUIDE

MATCHING RADIO CHANNELS

Ensure that both devices are on matching frequencies.

The operating frequency channel is indicated by a sticker

on the robot and OCU3. They must match for successful

operation. To deploy multiple robots within the same area

of operation, different channels must be used.

When pairing an OCU3 and a ReconRobotics robot for

operation, the channel designations must match identically.

For example, equipment labeled A may not be 100%

compatible with equipment labeled A.2. When operating

multiple systems simultaneously, make sure you are using

two different letters, for instance A.2 and C. Robots on

channel A.2 and on channel A will interfere with each other

and not work well in the same environment (the same will

also occur with B/B.2 and C/C.2).

BASIC DEPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Switch OCU3 on.

2. Pull Activation Plate from Robot. Conrm that

the robot is broadcasting video and accepting

command from the OCU3 before deploying. If the

video is noisy, it’s possible that the OCU3’s video

receiver is being overpowered. Try moving the robot

and OCU3 further apart.

3. Test headphones at a low volume setting.

4. Drop or throw robot into target environment.

5. Wait two seconds after robot lands to allow

gyroscope to stabilize before operating.

NOTE: The OCU3 boot time is approximately

10 seconds until video or snow will appear.
