Cable to the play-

er ’s end of the 

table. Plug the Connector Cable 

into the 5-pin socket on the bot-

into the Power Jack of the Control Box (see Figure 1B, page 6).

ATTACH CONTROL BOX TO TABLE

Place the Control Box 

on the side of the table 

about one foot from 

the end. If you're 

right-handed, place it on the left side 

of the table. If you're left-handed, 

place it on the right side. (See Figure

GET READY TO PLAY!

Turn Oscillator Speed on and when the head 

aligns with the centerline of the table, turn 

Oscillator Speed off. Pick up your paddle, 

turn the Ball Speed knob to 2–3 and the Ball 

Frequency knob to 4–5. Turn the Power 

switch to “on” and get ready to return the ball. It takes 

about 30 seconds for the balls to load up before the first 

one is delivered. When you’re ready for random delivery, 

turn the Oscillator Speed on and the balls will be randomly 

delivered across the entire table. To become more familiar 

with the controls and adjustments for your machine, read 

the O

QUICK SET-UP FOR ROBO-PONG 2040+

VERIFY ALL PARTS

Unpack all the parts and check that all are 

present. If unable to identify a part, look for 

a small silver label with the part name. If a 

part is missing, please contact Newgy. You 

may want to keep your box and styrofoam pieces in case 

you need to ship your robot. If you purchased Pong-Master, 

check the photo below to verify all of its parts. In your 

Owner’s Packet is a separate 

O

  M

anual

 for Pong-

Master. That manual will tell you 

how to set up and operate Pong-

Master. To help you separate 

robot parts from Pong-Master 

parts, the silver labels have “RP” 

before the part names for the 

robot and a “PM” before the part 

names for Pong-Master.
