Prime-8 is designed to run over thick and thin carpets as well as hard floors. However, animations work best on hard floors. Use fresh batteries for best performance.
When Prime-8 is on his back, belly or head, he will make three attempts at standing up. If he doesn't succeed, he gets bored and falls asleep.
Simply toggle his power OFF then ON again. If this doesn't solve the problem, then it is time to change batteries.
Make sure Prime-8 is not under direct sun-light or under high-intensity neon lights.
Just press 'Stop' to exit any animation and then send controller commands.
When the lights are ON, Prime-8 is Gone Bananas. When they are OFF, he is a Good Gorilla. When the lights blink, he is playing Games, or is in Autonomous, Programming, or Guard modes.
For safety, if you press "Stop", all the motors stop immediately and Prime-8's inertia makes him fall forward. This is normal operation and Prime-8 recovers automatically.
Pay attention to the sound when you press the "Games" button. Each game starts with a descriptive sound. See Pages 8 - 9 in the user's manual.
