Using Robbie is easy. First, charge it with the USB cable. You can use the remote control to operate it or use hand gestures through the 'Smart Control' feature. To program movements, follow the instructions to set up to 50 actions. When it comes to the lights and sounds, you can adjust the volume and enjoy different facial expressions created by the blue LEDs. Note that you need to buy two batteries for the radio control separately due to transport safety. For maintenance, keep Robbie away from water and sharp objects. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. With proper care, Robbie will be your child's long - lasting fun and educational companion.
