HOW TO
OPERATE CAIA
NEVER APPLY PHYSICAL FORCE AND MANUALLY MOVE CAIA’S MIRROR
CAIA’S Commands
From any of CAIA’s positions, a short press will trigger her to start
scanning to find the sun.
While she is in the middle of scanning, a medium press
will stop the scan and return to the FOLD position.
While she is in the middle of scanning, a long press will stop the scan,
reset and return to the FOLD position.
While she is in the SLEEP and HOME positions, no action is required to trigger her
to start scanning. When she senses the direct light hitting her (specifically the
Sunlight Pointer and mirror), she will autonomously wake up and scan (this may
take several minutes).
When the battery is running low, she will automatically stop all operations and
return to the FOLD position.
Sunlight Pointer
This shows the direction the reflected sunlight points to. Just imagine a straight
line that starts from the center of the mirror and goes straight through the
Sunlight Pointer. This is her straight “line of sight”, and CAIA will point the reflected
sunlight in this direction.
The Sunlight Pointer is also the camera sensor that CAIA uses to find and track
the sun. There is an in-built infrared sensor that allows her to detect the sunshine
when she is in the SLEEP and HOME positions, and automatically wake up.
Adjustable Arm
Raise or lower the direction of the reflected sunlight by simply loosening the dial
on the side of the base and sliding the adjustable arc (the one with the Sunlight
Pointer) up and down, through the base.
Be careful not to let your hand lose grip while sliding, as you could hit and
damage the Sunlight Pointer. After fixing the adjustable arm into the desired
position, please remember to tighten the dial on the base and fix the adjustable
arm into place.
