Introduction Thank you for purchasing Joebot™ from WowWee™! Joebot is an animated, walking talking, robot buddy filled with quirky responses and hilarious chatter! Use voice command control or his easy-to-operate hand controls to interact with him! Packed with tons of features, he can even be your beatbox buddy; tap out a rhythm and he repeats it perfectly along with a dance! Let him roam freely in Battle Mode and blast obstacles with his hand LEDs — you can even square off with him using your own TV remot
Battery details Battery details Joebot requires 6 x “AA” size alkaline batteries (included). You will know when Joebot’s batteries have nearly depleted because he will move very slowly. He will also become less responsive to user interaction or sounds. Install the batteries as follows: NOTE: Make sure Joebot is off. 1. Open the two battery compartments on the underside of both his feet using a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to remove the screw on each battery compartment cover. 2.

This section outlines some of his basic functions.

If he hears you, he will respond with his face LEDs and he’ll back away. He’ll walk for a long time in different ways so it’s up to you to keep him from getting into trouble.
Function modes Battle Mode In Battle Mode, Joebot pretends to shoot down anything he sees using his hand LEDs for about ten minutes. After an initial florish of alien-dispatching violence, he’ll then wander around looking for other objects to shoot (objects need to be about 8 inches (20 cm) or taller, and within a 16-inch (40 cm) range of his hands for him to “sight” them). You can use any standard IR remote controller, such as a TV remote controller to let you defend yourself.
Function modes To exit Game Mode • Press any of his fingers. NOTE: Joebot will not register a gesture until you take your hand away from his hand IR sensors. In Game Mode, Joebot will work better in more dimly lit rooms, as his IR beams become more effective. Make sure he sees only your hands. Beatbox Mode Joebot can also be your beatboxing buddy! You can clap or tap out a rhythm of up to 200 beats in a row, and Joebot will repeat the beat back to you perfectly.
Program Mode Talk Mode In Talk Mode, Joebot can give you tips and advice on how to use him. He might even tell you about what his life is as a robot! To enter Talk Mode: • Use a voice command like, “Talk”. If he understands, he will respond and start jabbering. Repeat the voice command to make him say something different. To exit Talk Mode: • Press any of his fingers. Program Mode You can make Joebot record a sequence of motions and actions of up to 40 steps and then play it back.
