Operational Testing
Insert three AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately) in the WonderBorg, as shown in the diagram. Be careful to insert the batteries the right way.
AAA/LR03 1.5V
AAA/LR03 1.5V
AAA/LR03 1.5V
Place the battery cover on top of the battery box. Be careful to position the battery cover with the holes positioned as shown in the diagram.
Turn the POWER switch ON.
Place your WonderBorg on the leg and Antenna Bending Template on the page 56 of this manual. Bend the legs and antennae to match the illustration. They can be adjusted to any position. Once you have finished the adjustments, turn the power OFF.
Press the body shell down on to the WonderBorg s body so that the pins on the left and right side of the frame slot into the holes in the body shell. The START / STOP switch should protrude through the hole.
Align the holes with the Pins

If the WonderBorg does not work, check whether you have made a mistake in the assembly operation.
Points to check:
- Are the connectors plugged in correctly? - Are the batteries inserted the
right way?
