RECHARGING SPYKEE
9.1. Charging base
Connect the recharging station to an outlet. Ask an adult for help.
Place the station against a wall. To avoid the base moving while Spykee tries to connect to it,
we recommend that you fix it on the floor with double faced tape (be careful to choose a
tape that doesn’t damage your floor).
Make sure that the space in front of the recharging station is sufficiently free of clutter so that
Spykee can reach it easily.
9.2. Automatic search for the base
In order for Spykee to be able to recharge itself alone, bring it manually to within 1 to 2 metres of the
recharging station (if it is too close, it will have a hard time positioning itself).
To trigger the search for the station, click on the battery status icon of your console, a window will open
asking if you wish to recharge a robot.
If you click "Yes", the robot will begin to search for its recharging station by itself. This operation may take
several minutes while the robot finds its station using infrared.
When it finds its station, the robot moves towards it and positions itself on it automatically.
If the robot does not find its station, again place it manually within 1 or 2 meters of the station and repeat
the operation.
Recharge: please refer to the "Recharge" section below.
9.3. Manually placing Spykee on the base
If you do not want to/can’t perform an automatic search for the station, you can also manually
place Spykee on its recharging station.
e.g.: You are using it for the first time (the battery is not charged at time of purchase), or the
automatic search for the station did not work.
To do this, turn the robot on (the robot will charge only if the button under the chassis is “ON”).
Place it manually on its recharging station (Spykee will be with its back to the base).
