Changing the Battery

To choose batteries properly, see Vorpal Combat Hexapod Battery Recommendations.

Here are the steps to change the battery:

• Turn the Hexapod off using the power switch.
• Twist the cap counter clockwise (when looking from above) until it comes off.
• There are red JST connectors tying the battery to the Hexapod's electrical system. Grip the plastic connectors (not the wires!) one side in each hand. Pull apart. Sometimes wiggling them helps get them loose more easily. Never pull via the wires or you may pull the connectors apart internally.
• Connect a new battery pack (or after recharging the pack you removed) in the same way. Make sure the JST connectors are lined up properly.
• Place the tabs on the edges of the cap into the matching indentations in the top, push down slightly and turn clockwise.

Turning the Hexapod On and Off

To turn the robot on:

• Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise, it should be pointing to STP (stop).
• Press the on/off switch upward (toward the "1" label).
• Select the mode you want using the dial.

To turn the robot off:

• Press the on/off switch downward (toward the "0" label).
