|
| his default position and enter Aware |

If the room is bright, his face flashes as above, but when the room goes dark his entire face lights up, as shown, for about 6 hours.
When in Hold mode, your robot stops moving and turns off all his face lights to save power. You can tell your robot is in Hold mode because his smile flashes every few seconds .
IMPORTANT: When Roboboa is in Hold mode, he will not power down on his own. Roboboa can last for many days in Hold mode on fresh batteries, but make sure to turn him off when not in use.
