PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY
• Note that the Product is an assembly kit and does not always assure robot operations after its assembly.
• When you use, assembly or store the Product and its parts, make sure that there are not infants around
you. The Product comes with small parts. Care should be taken so that they will not swallow them by
mistake.
•The Product is not a toy. When it is operated by a child, his/her parent must be present to watch.
•Do not wet the Product or its part, or use/store them at high humidity or in an environment where due
condensation may occur.
• Use the tools with utmost care paid to safety.
•Do not disassemble or remodel servo motors and PC boards because they are precision electronic parts.
Neglect of this may cause a trouble or a resultant electric shock or fire.
• Care should be taken not to allow conductive foreign substances into contact with the PC boards.
- As the terminals of the PC boards are exposed, they can be easily short-circuited by conductive foreign
substances (metals, water, etc.). Short-circuit could result in a PC board failure or ignition of the battery or
wiring.
• When you adjust or operate the Product after its assembly, it may move in an unexpected way in the
nature of the assembly it. It may tumble or drop to injure you or get damaged. Secure sufficient work
space and operate. Handle the Product with utmost care because it may catch your finger while operating.
•Connect the connectors securely, paying attention to their polarity. Neglect of this could cause a trouble
or fire.
• Do not allow the cables to be caught when assembling. Catching of the cable could cause snapping or
short-circuit.
• When disconnecting a cable, hold its plug and connector.
If it is disconnected by holding its cord, an electric shock or fire may be caused by snapping or short-
circuit.
•For handling of the battery and battery charger, be sure to observe the instructions described in the
Instruction Manual, Robovie-X Assembly Manual and Robovie-X Software Reference.
