General Precautions for the TI-Innovator™ Rover

TI‑Innovator™ Rover

• Do not expose the Rover to temperatures above 140˚F (60˚C).
• Do not disassemble or mistreat the Rover.
• Do not put anything heavier than 1 Kg or 2.2 lbs on the Rover platform.
• Use only the USB cables provided with the TI-Innovator™ Hub.
• Use only the Ribbon cables provided with the Rover.
• Use only the TI provided wall charger included with the Hub.
• The front-mounted Ultrasonic Ranger will detect objects within 4 meters of the Rover. For best results make sure the object's surface is bigger than a folder. If used to detect small objects, such as a cup, place the Rover within 1 meter of the object.
• For best results, leave the Slide Case off of your graphing calculator.
• For best performance, use Rover on the floor, not on tables. Damage may occur from Rover falling off a table.
• For best performance, use Rover on a hard surface. Carpet may cause the Rover wheels to catch or drag.
• Do not turn the Holder pegs on the Calculator Platform without lifting them first. They could break.
• Do not use the marker as a lever to pull or push the Rover.
• Do not unscrew the case enclosure on the bottom of the Rover. Encoders have sharp edges that should not be exposed.
• Do not move Rover after executing a program. The internal gyroscope may unintentionally try to get the Rover back on track using the initial location.
• When inserting the Breadboard Ribbon Cable into the Hub Breadboard Connector, it is critical that you insert the cable correctly. Make sure the red (dark) wire pin is inserted into the 5v hole on the Hub's Breadboard Connector.

Caution: If you dislodge or disconnect any of the cables, use this image as a reference for correct hookups.Reference to Bottom View
