4. Li şûna kulmê beşa pîlê bi cîh bikin û wê bi kulmê ve girêbidin.

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.

Telîmatên Operating

Powering On / Off

• 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.

• Bişkokên Rêvebir: 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.
• Bişkoka Biçe: Press the green 'Go' button (center) to execute the programmed sequence. The mouse will follow the commands in the order they were entered.
• Bişkojka Paqijkirinê: Press the yellow 'Clear' button to erase the current program.
• Bişkojka Çalakiyê: 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'.

Mîhengên Leza

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.

Lênerrînî

Paqijî

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.

Lênêrîna Pîl

• Always use fresh batteries of the recommended type (3 AAA).
• Pîlên kevin û nû, an cureyên bataryayên cuda tevlîhev nekin.
• Ger pêlîstok ji bo demek dirêj ve neyê bikar anîn bataryayên jê derxin da ku rê li ber rijandinê bigire.

Çareserkirina pirsgirêkan

Mişk Bersiv Nade

• Piştrast bike ku guhêrbarê hêzê di pozîsyona 'ON' de ye.
• Kontrol bike ka pîl bi rêkûpêk hatine sazkirin û şarjê wan têra xwe ye. Ger pêwîst be biguherîne.
• Press the yellow 'Clear' button to clear any previous program, then re-enter your commands.

Mouse Not Following Path Correctly
