Now see what 3 game modes your spy robot has to offer before going on a mission.
6.
BEGINNER LEVEL: CONTROL SPYKEE IN LOCAL AD HOC MODE
6.1. Turning Spykee on
• Turn Spykee on by switching the button under the chassis to the "ON" position.
• Spykee’s lights will flash rapidly: this means Spykee is searching for his preferred WiFi access
point.
Since it’s your first use of your robot, you haven’t yet chosen any preferred WiFi access point.
Spykee will then switch to local ad hoc mode automatically (which is his default preferred WiFi
mode) after approximately 15 seconds: the robot will make a “beep beep” sound, and his
lights will flash slowly one after another (to know more about the lights status of your robot, refer
to Chapter 10 " LIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE ROBOT ").
• If, for some reason, Spykee does not flash, check that the button is actually switched to "ON”. If
this is the case, then it may be that the battery is drained (see chapter 5.1 “Charging Spykee for
the first time”).
6.2. Connecting your Mac to your Spykee robot
1) Turn your Spykee on and place him within range of your computer’s WiFi.
2) Turn your computer on (remember, your computer must have an internal or external WiFi card
and the Spykee console installed).
3) Display available networks
Click on the Airport logo on the menu bar (click on Activate Airport if necessary).
4) Your robot will show up in the pull-down menu of Computer-to-Computer Networks. (the
network name beginning with “SPYKEE” / this network name is the “SSID” of your robot). Click on
it to get connected.
If SPYKEE doesn’t appear, please check :
> Your computer has not updated the list of available wireless networks => Please wait, the list
will be refresh automatically within few seconds.
> Check that you are not connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable.
> Your robot is switched off => Please turn it on.
> Your robot battery is low => Please recharge the battery

, then try again.
> You are in a busy WiFi environment (large number of existing connections, poor network, etc)
=> Please try again from another location.
You will sometimes need to configure or turn off your third firewall (eg: Little Snitch, Net
Barrier) in order to be able to connect to your Spykee. Depending on the firewall, you may find
yourself in one of the following situations.
> A window opens and asks you to authorize the connection => Accept the connection.
