Note on Use

On handling MarsCat

Do not use MarsCat on an unstable place or a place from which MarsCat may fall off to avoid a physical injury or a malfunction of MarsCat.
Do not place fragile or dangerous objects around MarsCat to avoid property damage or a freak accident.
Note that Elephant Robotics will not be responsible for any damage or loss caused by such fall or collision.

To avoid injury

Do not put your hands or ﬁngers in gaps around MarsCat’s movable parts.
Do not lift, swing or twist around MarsCat by only grasping its head, tail or any movable parts.
Do not pull MarsCat’s tail hard. Noted that it’s designed for safety that MarsCat’s tail comes off from the body when it’s forcefully pulled.
If MarsCat’s tail comes off from the body, please put the detached tail to the protruded base component, and then push the tail toward MarsCat’s body to let the component go into the receptacle hole of the tail.
Do not use MarsCat on a hard or slippery ﬂoor, MarsCat may fail to sit up or move forward. It is recommended that you use MarsCat on a wooden ﬂoor or a carpet with short threads.
Keep MarsCat’s movable parts free of anything that can restrict their movements, such as a sticker or a ribbon.
Do not lubricate MarsCat’s movable parts.
Do not allow a strong physical impact (e.g. dropping MarsCat) or exert excessive force (e.g. putting a heavy object on MarsCat) on MarsCat to avoid the risk of malfunction.
Do not leave MarsCat in a place subject to extremely high/low temperatures or high humidity. MarsCat’s operating temperature range is from 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F). Use of MarsCat in an extremely cold or hot place where the temperature falls below or exceeds the range may cause a malfunction of MarsCat.

On cleaning

When MarsCat or the charging station is soiled with small particles and dust, gently wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not use any volatile agent, such as alcohol or paint thinner, to avoid damaging the surface.
If residues of dust or ﬁngerprints are found on MarsCat’s camera or sensor covers, do not touch them with bare hands. Instead, blow them off with a commercially available blower or wipe them off with a soft cloth.

Moisture condensation

If MarsCat is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside or on the surface of it and cause a malfunction of MarsCat.
If moisture condensation has occurred, leave MarsCat without turning on the power.

Heat generation

MarsCat and the supplied power adapter may generate heat while they are in use. Heat generation is caused by the operation of internal electric circuits or the electric current that ﬂows during battery charge and does not indicate a malfunction.
The amount of heat generated by MarsCat depends on its activity.
When MarsCat or the supplied power adapter is extremely hot to the touch when compared to its usual state, unplug the charger and stop charging.

On handling the charging station

To let MarsCat charge its battery on its own on the charging station (self-charging) and get up from there, do not place objects, which may disturb MarsCat’s activities, around the charging station.
Choose an open bright place without direct sunlight to place the charging station and avoid a place subject to high room temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) and higher.
Do not touch the charge connector with bare hands to avoid causing bad contact.
Do not exert force on the charging station, for example, step on or kick the charging station.
Do not allow the charging station to be exposed to water or spill any type of liquid.

On charging the battery of MarsCat

The supplied battery model is INR18650MJ1-2S2P, exclusively designed for MarsCat. If you need to purchase a new one, please visit our ofﬁcial website: https://www.elephantrobotics.com/.
Charge the battery under the condition where the ambient temperature is within the range from 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F). If the temperature is out of this range, the battery may not be fully charged.
While you are charging the battery or using MarsCat, MarsCat’s body temperature may rise. This does not indicate a malfunction of MarsCat.
Even if you do not intend to use MarsCat for an extended period of time, charge the battery every 3-6 months to keep it from deteriorating.
If MarsCat has not been used for an extended period of time, it may take more time to charge the battery.

On handling the power adaptor

Use the supplied power adapter with the charging station. Use of any power adapter other than the supplied one will cause a malfunction of MarsCat.
For connecting the power adapter to a power outlet that is easy to access.
Any problem happens during charging, immediately unplug the power cord from the power outlet to cut the power supply.
To avoid the risk of heat generation or a malfunction of the adapter, unplug the power cord from the power outlet after the charging is completed.
The supplied power adaptor is exclusively designed for MarsCat’s charging station. It should not be used with any other electric devices.
To purchase a new one, please visit our ofﬁcial website: https://www.elephantrobotics.com/.

On handling the SD card

Do not take the SD cards out.
