Safety Information & Warnings 

 

 

 

Read these warnings before charging or using your 
robot or OCU II. Failure to read and follow these 
instructions may result in fire, personal injury and/or 
damage to property. 



To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the shell of the robot, 
Operator Control Unit II (OCU II) or the chargers. No user-serviceable parts are 
inside. Refer servicing to qualified ReconRobotics service personnel.  



To reduce the risk of injury or damage, keep these safety precautions in mind 
when setting up, using and maintaining your equipment.  



Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the robot or OCU II.  



Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.  



Follow all operating and usage instructions.  



Do not attempt to service the robot or OCU II yourself. Repairs or modifications 
not conducted by authorized personnel will result in the voiding of warranty and/
or Annual Maintenance Plans. 



Keep loose clothing and hair away from the robot. 



Considerations for charging:  



Always charge the robot with the activation pin inserted. 



Always keep the OCU II turned off while charging. 



Always charge in a cool, ventilated, fire-safe area. 



Do not leave system unattended while charging. 



Always use a proper country-specific AC socket (120-240 VAC) with the 
battery charger. Do not force the plug into a socket. 



Ensure the charger plug is inserted at the correct angle when connecting to 
the robot or OCU II. 



Ensure the barrel of the charging connector is not deformed, bent or 
otherwise damaged before inserting in the robot or OCU II.
