3.1 Battery Installation for Robot Mouse

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the Robot Mouse.
2. Бо истифода аз мурваттобаки хурди Филлипс, сарпӯши қисмати батареяро кушоед.
3. Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Сарпӯши қисмати батареяро иваз кунед ва онро бо винт маҳкам кунед.

3.2 Assembling the Maze

1. Connect the 16 green maze grids to form your desired play area. The grids have male and female connections, requiring correct alignment.
2. Refer to the activity cards or design your own maze layout.
3. Insert the purple maze walls into the slots on the grids to create pathways and obstacles.
4. Place the orange tunnels over the grids as desired.
5. Position the cheese wedge at the target location within the maze. Ensure the wide edge of the cheese wedge faces outwards for easier detection by the mouse.

4.1 Understanding the Robot Mouse Controls

The Robot Mouse features color-coded buttons for programming:

• Arrow Buttons (Yellow, Purple, Orange, Blue): Control the mouse's direction (Forward, Left, Right, Backward).
• Action Button (Red): Performs a special action (e.g., a spin or sound, depending on the model).
• Go Button (Green): Executes the programmed sequence of commands.
• Clear Button (Yellow Dot): Erases the current programmed sequence.

4.2 Programming the Mouse

1. Plan Your Path: Use the coding cards to visualize and plan the sequence of movements the mouse needs to make to reach the cheese. Lay out the cards in the order of the desired path.
2. Фармонҳоро ворид кунед: Press the corresponding color-coded buttons on the Robot Mouse in the exact sequence you planned. The mouse can store up to 40 steps.
3. Execute Program: Once all commands are entered, place the mouse at the starting point of your maze and press the Green Go Button. The mouse will execute the programmed sequence.
4. Барномаи тоза: To enter a new sequence, press the Yellow Clear Button to erase the previous commands.

5. Нигоҳдорӣ

5.1 Тозакунӣ

To clean the Robot Mouse and maze components, wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the Robot Mouse in water or use harsh cleaning agents.

5.2 Нигоҳдорӣ

Store all components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Remove batteries from the Robot Mouse if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6. Баррасии мушкилот

6.1 Муш ҷавоб намедиҳад

• Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Replace with fresh AAA batteries if necessary.
• Ensure the mouse is placed on a flat, smooth surface.

6.2 Mouse Not Following Path Accurately

• Verify that the programmed sequence of commands exactly matches your intended path. Review your coding cards.
• -ро пахш кунед Yellow Clear Button and re-enter the commands carefully.
• Ensure the maze grids are securely connected and walls are firmly in place, as loose components can affect the mouse's movement.
• The mouse may occasionally deviate slightly on turns; ensure there is enough clearance from maze walls.

6.3 Mouse Stops Before Reaching Cheese

• The mouse will stop executing instructions once it detects the cheese. If you intended further actions after reaching the cheese, this is expected behavior.
• Ensure the cheese wedge is correctly positioned and the mouse's sensor can detect it.
