02//Care Protocol
Keep It Mission-Ready
Drive it on the right surfaces, keep the battery healthy, clean the treads, and store it dry. That’s the whole protocol.
Not Water-Resistant
Do not drive the RCD-01 on wet floors or outdoors in rain, and keep it away from spills, puddles, bathrooms, and high humidity. Moisture damage is not covered by warranty.
Surfaces
- Best on hard floors: wood, tile, laminate, and smooth concrete.
- Short carpet works well thanks to the treaded wheels.
- Avoid deep-pile carpet, gravel, sand, and wet or uneven ground.
- Keep it away from stairs, ledges, and drops. Impact damage is not covered by warranty.
- Clear small objects and cables from the drive area before a run.
Battery Care
- The rechargeable battery performs best with regular charging.
- Recharge before long storage and avoid leaving it fully drained.
- Use a quality USB power source and the included charging cable when possible.
- Unplug after charging and keep the drone away from heat while charging.
- For long storage, top up the charge periodically to protect battery health.
Cleaning
- Wipe the shell with a soft, dry microfiber cloth for dust and fingerprints.
- Pick hair and debris out of the wheel treads and axles after carpet runs.
- Use a slightly damp cloth only when needed, then dry immediately.
- Never spray cleaner directly onto the drone; avoid solvents, bleach, and abrasive pads.
- Never insert metal tools into the charging port, seams, or wheel assemblies.
Storage & Finish
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heaters.
- Do not leave the drone in a hot vehicle or near radiators.
- The original box is the safest place for long-term storage.
- Minor cosmetic variation between units and batches is normal.
- Light tread and finish wear from normal driving does not affect function.
