5  Q&A

Q: HUNTER 2.0 is started up correctly, but why cannot the RC transmitter control the chassis body to move?

A: First, check whether the drive power supply is in normal condition, whether the drive power switch is pressed down and whether E-stop 
switches are released; then, check whether the control mode selected with the top left mode selection switch on the RC transmitter is correct, 
check whether the parking switch is turn off.

Q: HUNTER 2.0 remote control is in normal condition, and the information about chassis status and movement can be received correctly, 
but when the control frame protocol is issued, why cannot the chassis body control mode be switched and the chassis respond to the 
control frame protocol?  

A: Normally, if HUNTER 2.0 can be controlled by a RC transmitter, it means the chassis movement is under proper control; if the chassis feedback 
frame can be accepted, it means CAN extension link is in normal condition. Please check the CAN control frame sent to see whether the data 
check is correct and whether the control mode is in command control mode. You can check the status of error flag from the error bit in the 
chassis status feedback frame.

Q: HUNTER 2.0 gives a "beep-beep-beep..." sound in operation, how to deal with this problem? 

A: If HUNTER 2.0 gives this "beep-beep-beep" sound continuously, it means the battery is in the alarm voltage state. Please charge the battery 
in time.

The battery supplied with HUNTER 2.0 is not fully charged in 
the  factory  setting,  but  its  specific  power  capacity  can  be 
displayed on the voltmeter at real end of HUNTER 2.0 chassis or 
read  via  CAN  bus  communication  interface.  The  battery 
recharging can be stopped when the green LED on the charger 
turns green. Note that if you keep the charger connected after 
the green LED gets on, the charger will continue to charge the 
battery with about 0.1A current for about 30 minutes more to 
get the battery fully charged;
Please  do  not  charge  the  battery  after  its  power  has  been 
depleted,  and  please  charge  the  battery  in  time  when  low 
battery level alarm is on; 
Static  storage  conditions:  The  best  temperature  for  battery 
storage  is  -10℃  to  45℃;  in  case  of  storage  for  no  use,  the 
battery must be recharged and discharged once about every 2 
months, and then stored in full voltage state. Please do not put 
the  battery  in  fire  or  heat  up  the  battery,  and  please  do  not 
store the battery in high-temperature environment; 
Charging:  The  battery  must  be  charged  with  a  dedicated 
lithium  battery  charger;  lithium-ion  batteries  cannot  be 
charged  below  0°C  (32°F)  and  modifying  or  replacing  the 
original batteries are strictly prohibited.
HUNTER  2.0  only  supports  the  replacement  and  use  of  the 
battery  provided  by  us,  and  the  battery  can  be  charged 
separately.

For the extended power supply on top, the current should not exceed 10A and the total power should not exceed 240W; 
For the extended power supply of top and tail, each ports must not be greater than 24V10A, the total output current must not be 
greater than 15A, total power should not exceed 360W.
When the system detects that the battery voltage is lower than the safe voltage class, external power supply extensions will be 
actively switched to. Therefore, users are suggested to notice if external extensions involve the storage of important data and have 
no power-off protection.

The operating temperature of HUNTER 2.0 is -10℃ to 45℃; 
please do not use it below -10℃ and above 45℃ ; 
The  requirements  for  relative  humidity  in  the  use 
environment  of  HUNTER  2.0  are:  maximum  80%,  minimum 
30%; 
Please do not use it in the environment with corrosive and 
flammable gases or closed to combustible substances; 
Do not place it near heaters or heating elements such as large 
coiled resistors, etc.; 
Except for specially customized version (IP protection class 
customized), HUNTER 2.0 is not water-proof, thus please do 
not use it in rainy, snowy or water-accumulated environment; 
The elevation of recommended use environment should not 
exceed 1,000m; 
The  temperature  difference  between  day  and  night  of 
recommended use environment should not exceed 25℃;

When handling and setting up, please do not fall off or place 
the chassis upside down;
For non-professionals, please do not disassemble the chassis 
without permission.

This section includes some precautions that should be paid attention to for HUNTER 2.0 use and development.
