 II.  INITIAL USE  A.  INFORMATION ABOUT BLUETOOTH® 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  metres.  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 mobile phone screen will be.     For  optimum connection between  your mobile phone and your  Spykee  Cell robot,  we recommend that you avoid obstacles between the two devices.     B.  BUILDING YOUR SPYKEE CELL   1)   Read the assembly instructions included in the box.  2)   Select your model and assemble it following the instructions!   C.  INSTALLING THE “SPYKEE CELL” APPLICATION  1)   Download onto your computer the “Spykee Cell” application installation files for your mobile phone.   2)   Connect your computer to your mobile phone with the connecting cable (generally supplied with your mobile phone),  by  infra-red  or  by  using  Bluetooth®.  The  choice  of  connection  depends  on  your  model  of  mobile phone and computer.   3)   Install the “Spykee Cell” application on your mobile phone following the instructions supplied by your mobile phone manufacturer.     During the installation procedure, several security warnings may appear. Please validate them to be able to use the “Spykee Cell” program.   So that the Spykee Cell program works correctly, ensure your mobile phone is kept up to date. To do that, visit your mobile phone manufacturer's website.   To control your iPod® from your mobile 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.
 D.  POWERING UP SPYKEE CELL  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”, “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 assembly instructions.  E.  CONNECTING YOUR MOBILE PHONE TO SPYKEE CELL   1)   Check your mobile phone is switched on.   2)   Activate your mobile phone's Bluetooth® function.   3)   Once Bluetooth® has been switched on:     Access your telephone's Main Menu.    Look for the “Spykee Cell” program in your mobile phone and open it.    A picture of Spykee Cell appears on your screen:   - A Warning Message might appear asking if you want to allow the “Spykee“ program 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 45 seconds. Following ones are faster.   4)   You will come to the Spykee Cell program Main Menu and you can now control your robot.   If  you  have  not  activated  Bluetooth®  on  your  mobile  phone  or  it  is  disabled,  when  you  try  to  connect  a warning message might appear saying “Bluetooth Disabled”. Switch on Bluetooth® !
