SAFETY LIGHT MODE / MODE FUNCTIONS
Safety light mode
Press and hold the Mode button on the remote controller or on top of the Roboboa’s head for more than 2 seconds. Roboboa can act like a stationary back yard safety light, turning on his lights when anything disturbs his focused forward beam.
Mode functions
You can also use the 8 Mode actions on the remote controller as shortcuts to roving and lighting actions:
To access any of the Mode functions, press and hold the Mode button, and then press any direction on the directional pad, as follows:
Roboboa indicates that he is in Safety mode when his mouth flashes red every few seconds as shown.
When Roboboa detects an object in front of his face, he powers on his face lights as shown.
When Roboboa is in Safety mode, he will “autorange” his vision beam to the nearest object about 5 feet (1.5 meters) away, counting in 6 equal beats. This means if you point him at a near wall or object, he’ll automatically figure out the distance and trigger on anything that gets closer than that.

Remote flashlight mode
Press the Mode button on the remote controller twice quickly. The remote controller turns into a flashlight useful for finding your Roboboa in the dark. Press either the Mode button twice quickly to turn the light on, and twice again to turn off, or press Stop. The light will also fade off by itself about 5 minutes.
NOTE: If he sees something in front of him when travelling forward, he will stop to avoid hitting it.
