SLEEP MODE / GUARD MODES
Even if you interact with your Roboboa once the alarm is set, he’ll interrupt whatever he’s doing to play the alarm. If you need your robot to remind you to go somewhere in two hours (for example), you can still use him as a light or for fun and he’ll remember to activate his alarm.
Note: To clear your alarm, wake up your Roboboa by pressing Stop, then press Reset (hold the Tail / Head button for more than 2 seconds), or execute a Shutdown command (hold the Mode button then press Stop within 2 seconds), or power your robot Off from the power button in his tail.
When his alarm goes off, you can turn him off or Stop by pressing any Mode button.
Sleep mode
Put Roboboa to sleep so you can carry him around and all his programs and alarm settings will be remembered.

CAUTION: If you have set an alarm, he will wake up on his own, so do not position him where he will hit things upon waking.
NOTE: If left asleep for more than 24 hours, he will enter Shutdown mode and all programs and settings will be lost unless you have pressed Daily. (See page 15)
Guard modes
Roboboa can be used as a vigilant guard that can “protect” your desk, shelf, or doorway. Guard mode scans a room from left to right at about 45 degrees on each side, and to a range of several feet.
NOTE: Before activating any guard mode, be sure to place him on an open surface or floor.
To activate the Guard mode, press the Guard button. When your Roboboa enters guard mode, he first “loads” himself up, then starts to scan the room for objects.
The following table outlines the Guard mode functions from the remote controller:
