Preparing the Play Area

The Code & Go Robot Mouse is designed to work with activity sets (sold separately) or on any flat surface. If using an activity set, connect the green tiles to form a maze or path. Place obstacles and tunnels as desired to create challenges for the mouse.

Kullanım Talimatları

Açma/Kapatma

• To turn the Robot Mouse ON, slide the power switch located on its underside to the 'ON' position. The mouse's eyes will light up.
• To turn the Robot Mouse OFF, slide the power switch to the 'OFF' position.

Programming the Mouse

The Robot Mouse is programmed using the directional buttons on its back.

• Yön Düğmeleri: Press the colored arrow buttons (forward, backward, left turn, right turn) to input a sequence of movements. Each press adds one step to the program.
• Git Butonu: Press the green 'Go' button (center) to execute the programmed sequence. The mouse will follow the commands in the order they were entered.
• Temizle Düğmesi: Press the yellow 'Clear' button to erase the current program.
• Eylem Düğmesi: Press the red button to make the mouse perform a random action (e.g., squeak, blink lights, move back and forth).

Using Coding Cards

The 30 double-sided coding cards help visualize and plan the mouse's path before inputting commands. Lay out the cards in the desired sequence to represent the mouse's movements through a maze or to a target.

Navigating Mazes

Create mazes using the activity tiles, tunnels, and obstacles. The goal is often to guide the Robot Mouse to a specific target, such as a piece of cheese. Plan the sequence of movements using the coding cards, then input the commands into the mouse and press 'Go'.

Hız Ayarları

The Robot Mouse offers two speeds to accommodate different play environments and skill levels. The speed switch is located on the underside of the mouse. Choose between normal speed for precise movements or hyper speed for faster navigation.

Bakım

Temizlik

To clean the Robot Mouse and activity tiles, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the mouse in water or use harsh cleaning agents.

Pil Bakımı

• Always use fresh batteries of the recommended type (3 AAA).
• Eski ve yeni pilleri veya farklı pil türlerini karıştırmayın.
• Sızıntıyı önlemek için oyuncak uzun süre kullanılmayacaksa pilleri çıkarın.

Sorun giderme

Fare Yanıt Vermiyor

• Güç anahtarının 'AÇIK' konumunda olduğundan emin olun.
• Pillerin doğru şekilde takılıp takılmadığını ve yeterli şarja sahip olup olmadığını kontrol edin. Gerekirse değiştirin.
• Press the yellow 'Clear' button to clear any previous program, then re-enter your commands.

Mouse Not Following Path Correctly

• Verify that the programmed sequence of directional buttons matches the intended path.
• Ensure the play surface is flat and free of debris that might obstruct the mouse's movement.
• If using activity tiles, ensure they are securely connected and laid flat.
