Instructions
Pre-Attached USB Connector
Locate the USB connector. For example, on the Tankbot the USB connector is a rectangular piece resting vertically on the back.
Extend the USB connector. Using the Tankbot again as the example, place your finger on the top of the USB connector and flip the connector down.
Push the USB connector on your Desk Pet into a USB port on an electronic device attached to a power source to charge it.
Wait for your Desk Pet to fully charge. This is typically within 30 to 40 minutes. If you have the Tankbot, the Tankbot's lights, instead of a charging LED, come on during the charging cycle and turn off when it's finished charging.
Unplug your Desk Pet from the electronic device and return the USB connector to its original position.
USB Charger/Controller
Plug the USB charger and controller charging cable into your Desk Pet. If you have any difficulties, check the position of the arrow on the plug. For example, if you have the Trekbot, the arrow should face up; and if you have the Skitterbot, the arrow should face down.
Locate the slide switch on the side of the USB controller and recharger and slide it up to reveal the USB connector.
Plug the connector into a compatible USB port on an electronic device plugged into a power source. The charging indicator on your Desk Pet will turn on.
Wait for your Desk Pet to charge and the charging indicator to turn off.
Unplug the USB controller and charger from the USB port and the charging cable from your Desk Pet.
