Getting Started
Powering on/off the RoboDot
To power on: Depress the main switch on the side of the RoboDot for half a second.
The unit will vibrate and beep and show a solid blue LED.
To power down: Click the same button for a fraction of second. The button is only responsive once the unit is done booting up.
The unit will vibrate, beep and flash the red LED.
If the unit were to become unresponsive, holding the power button for 4 seconds forces it to turn off.
Charging
Charge the device using a USB 3.0 port with 1A capability and a USB-C cable. It takes 3 hours to reach a full charge. The unit can be charged during use, and it will charge regardless of being on or off. When the charger is connected, the RoboDot will automatically turn on.
Charge is complete when the bolt on the battery indicator is off.
Only use approved chargers that are delivered with RoboDot
