3.2. Information about Bluetooth® wireless technology

Bluetooth® is a short range wireless technology, which allows several electronic devices equipped with

this technology to be connected together.

The theoretical range of Bluetooth® for a mobile phone is 10 meters. If you direct your robot beyond this

reception zone it will stop automatically.

Notes:

Bluetooth® wireless technology allows transmission of pictures and sound. However, it is important

to realise that the larger the size of the image, the more staccato or delayed the motion on your

cell phone screen will be.

For optimum connection between your cell phone and your Spykee Cell robot, we recommend

that you avoid obstacles between the two devices.

BUILDING YOUR ROBOT

You have just discovered your robot’s functions.

You have undoubtedly already built your Spykee Cell. If you haven’t, come on, get to work!

The assembly instructions, tools and parts are inside your box.

If you have lost your assembly instructions, you can also download them on www.spykeecell.com under

the “Installation” heading.

For those who are more creative, if you have other Erector parts, you can build a unique new robot!

INSTALLING THE “SPYKEE CELL” APPLICATION

In order to install the Spykee Cell aplication on your cell phone, please go to the website

www.spykeecell.com under the “Installation” heading.

Depending of your cell phone’s model and the size of its screen :

1. Save the installation files of the Spykee Cell application for your cell phone’s model on your

computer.

Note:

Screen width: below 240 pixels width, it is recommended to install the small screen Spykee Cell

application.

2. Connect your computer to your cell phone with the connecting cable (generally supplied with

your cell phone), by infra-red or by using wireless Bluetooth® technology. The choice of

connection depends on your model of cell phone and computer.

3. Install the “Spykee Cell” application on your cell phone following the instructions supplied by

your cell phone manufacturer.

During the installation procedure, several security warnings may appear. Please validate them to be

able to use the “Spykee Cell” application.

So that the Spykee Cell application works correctly, ensure your cell phone is kept up to date. To do

that, visit your cell phone manufacturer's website.

To control your iPod® from your cell phone, ensure your iPod®'s software is up to date. To do that:

1. Download the latest version of iTunes from the Apple website:

http://www.apple.com/fr/itunes/download/

2. Connect your iPod® to your computer, launch iTunes and update your iPod® following the

instructions supplied by Apple.

POWERING UP SPYKEE CELL

6.1. Turn S ykee Cell on for the first time

1. Switch on Spykee Cell by moving the button under the chassis to the "ON" position.

2. A red light on Spykee Cell comes on. Then the robot will search nearby for a telephone to

which it had been previously linked in hands free mode. If the phone is found, you will hear a

“beep”. If the phone is not detected, you will hear the sound of a bell. In both cases, the robot

has powered up correctly and will continue its initialisation. When this has finished, another

beep will sound. You robot is then ready.

3. If the red lights on your Spykee Cell do not come on after several seconds, or you do not hear

the “beep” or the red optic fibers hardly light up : check the power button is definitely “ON”. If it

is, your robot's batteries may be discharged so replace them. To do that read the building

instructions.

When you turn Spykee Cell on, you can identify a problem thanks to a sound code :

Sound Effect Issue Solutions

1 long

whistle

Bluetooth® module issue

- Turn your cell phone OFF and then turn it ON again.

- Replace the batteries of your robot

2 whistles

Webcam issue : the

webcam does not work

- Unplug the webcam and then plug it again.

- Turn your cell phone OFF and then turn it ON again

- Replace the batteries of your robot

6.2. S ykee Cell’s hibernation

When Spykee Cell is turned ON and not connected to your cell phone, it goes to sleep within 10

minutes.

When Spykee Cell is in hibernation mode, his torso does not light up anymore.

To reactivate Spykee Cell, please switch Spykee Cell OFF and then switch him ON again.

When you listen to music with Spykee Cell as stereo loudspeaker (please see chapters 8.4.2. and 8.4.3),

the robot continues playing music but you cannot control the sound volume on the robot.

CONNECTING YOUR CELL PHONE TO SPYKEE CELL

1) Check your cell phone is switched on.

2) Activate your cell phone's Bluetooth® function.

3) Once Bluetooth® has been switched on:

Access your telephone's Main Menu.

Look for the “Spykee Cell” application in your cell phone and open it.

During your first connection, please choose your language: English (other).

A picture of Spykee Cell appears on your screen:

- A Warning Message might appear asking if you want to allow the “Spykee Cell“

application to use the connectivity applications : say Yes.

- Wait a few seconds for connection to be established *

* The first connection takes the longest, it can take up to 4 seconds. Following ones are faster.

4) You will come to the Spykee Cell application Main Menu and you can now control your robot.

If you have not activated Bluetooth® on your cell phone or it is disabled, when you try to connect a

warning message might appear saying “Bluetooth® Disabled”. Switch on Bluetooth®!
