IMPORTANT SAFETY AND HANDLING INFORMATION
Read the following warning before you or your child play with SPRK+. Failing to do so may cause injury.
Health Considerations
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage or injury, do not attempt to remove the SPRK+ shell or internal components from SPRK+ Power
Pack; refer all non‐routine servicing questions to Sphero, Inc. (“Sphero”). No user‐serviceable parts are inside the SPRK+ Power Pack.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH
DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
General
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating SPRK+ and the SPRK+ Power Pack.
Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow all operating and use instructions.
Do not attempt to service SPRK+ or SPRK+ Power Pack yourself. Refer all non‐routine servicing to Sphero.
Seizure, Blackouts and Eyestrain
A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing
lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history
of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games or watching videos. Discontinue use of SPRK+ and your smart
device controller and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use,
hold your smart device controller some distance from your eyes, use SPRK+ in a well‐lit room, and take frequent breaks.
WARNING: Choking Hazards
SPRK+ and SPRK+ Power Pack have small internal components that may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep SPRK+,
SPRK+ Power Pack, and any accessories away from small children.
Keeping SPRK+ Power Pack Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store SPRK+ and SPRK+ Power Pack in a place where the temperature is between 0º C ‐ 40º C (32º C ‐ 104º F). Low or high‐
temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life of SPRK+ or cause SPRK+ Power Pack to temporarily stop working. Avoid
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using SPRK+, as condensation may form on or within SPRK+. When you’re using SPRK+
Power Pack for charging, it is normal for SPRK+ to get warm. Maintain clearance around the SPRK+ Power Pack case when in use to ensure
proper airflow for temperature regulation. If the temperature limit of SPRK+ Power Pack is exceeded, the charging of the SPRK+ robots will
pause and the charging status light on SPRK+ Power Pack will turn red.
Use and Maintenance
WARNING: SPRK+ is not suitable for use by children under 8 years of age. SPRK+ Power Pack must be operated by adults only.
Never:
Abuse, throw, drop, puncture, violently kick, or step on SPRK+ or SPRK+ Power Pack. This can damage the robot and/or the
charging system and compromise safe operation.
Operate SPRK+ or SPRK+ Power Pack in dangerous, hazardous, or public areas where use is not permitted (high voltage power
lines, train stations, airports, trains, etc.). Check whether use of SPRK+ is permitted before using it in public areas or public
transport.
Always:
Keep SPRK+ in sight during operation to avoid injuries or damages to people, animals, or property. Keep a safe distance between
the robot and people, animals, and property.
Periodically examine SPRK+ and SPRK+ Power Pack and its contents for potential hazards such as cracked, damaged, or otherwise
broken parts. In the event of such damage, do not use SPRK+ or SPRK+ Power Pack until it can be replaced or repaired.
Operate SPRK+ Power Pack in the horizontal position to ensure proper charging of the SPRK+ robots.

USER MANUAL
Battery Warning
Each SPRK+ contains a single cell 3.7V lithium polymer rechargeable battery that is charged by use of the SPRK+ Power Pack. Do not
attempt to charge SPRK+ batteries with any charger other than the SPRK+ charging cradle and SPRK+ Power Pack.
The lithium polymer batteries in the SPRK+ are extremely hazardous and liable to cause serious injuries to persons or property. The
user accepts liability for the use of a lithium polymer battery. As the manufacturer and the distributor cannot ensure the battery is
used correctly (charging, discharging, storage, etc.), neither can be held liable for damages caused to persons or property by
improperly used batteries.
In the event of battery leakage, avoid the liquid coming into contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact with the skin, wash
copiously with soap and water. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse copiously with cold water and consult a doctor. If you notice
a suspicious smell or noise, or observe smoke around the charger, disconnect it immediately.
Non‐compliance with the instructions below could result in gas being given off, fire, electric shock, or an explosion.
Charging
Examine the SPRK+ Power Pack regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure, or other parts. Never use a damaged SPRK+
cradle charger or power adapter. Use only the supplied power adapter rated at 12VDC 2A for SPRK+ Power Pack. Misuse can cause
electrical shock or cause the SPRK+ Power Pack to seize operation.
Never charge a leaky battery or one that has been damaged. Do not use the SPRK+ Power Pack or any of the SPRK+ charging
cradles to charge any other battery or product than SPRK+. Never attempt to recharge a non‐rechargeable battery.
Do not charge near flammable materials or on a flammable surface (carpet, wooden flooring, wooden furniture, etc.) or conductive
surface (metal table, metal shelf, etc.). Do not leave SPRK+ Power Pack unattended during charging.
Never charge SPRK+ immediately after use while it is still hot. Let it cool down to room temperature before charging in the SPRK+
Power Pack.
SPRK+ is only to be charged under adult supervision. SRPK+ Power Pack should only be operated by an adult.
Do not cover SPRK+ Power Pack during charging as airflow to the cooling fans may be compromised. Operate SPRK+ Power Pack in
an ambient temperature between 0ºC ‐ 40ºC (32ºF ‐ 104ºF).
If SPRK+ Power Pack temperature exceeds its charging operation limit, the charging cycle will pause and the SPRK+ Power Pack
status light will turn red. Keep the unit plugged in with the fans running until the status light turns green and the charging cycle
automatically begins. There is no reset necessary for SPRK+ Power Pack after an overtemperature condition has been reached.
Use and storage
Do not use SPRK+ if its shell has been broken and the battery’s plastic cover has been cracked or compromised in any way.
Do not expose the SPRK+ battery to excessive physical shock.
Do not expose SPRK+ and its battery to heat or dispose of it in a fire.
Do not put the battery in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.
Do not attempt to dismantle, pierce, distort, or cut the battery and do not attempt to repair the battery. Do not place any heavy
objects on or in the SPRK+ Power Pack or SPRK+.
Do not clean the SPRK+ Power Pack with a solvent, denatured alcohol, or other inflammable solvents. When cleaning, be sure to
unplug the power adapter and charger.
Keep the SPRK+ Power Pack turned off when not in use.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
