Sphero Misty II User manual

Welcome!
We’re excited that you share the vision of personal robots working alongside us to spark individual enjoyment and
meet business needs. Your creativity is what makes this vision possible. Combine your code with Misty’s natural
talents and third-party APIs, hardware, and sensors, and there’s no limit to the jobs she can do.

Basic Care and Operation
To reduce the risk of injury or harm, be sure to read all of the safety information and operating instructions in this
guide and online at mistyrobotics.com/support/manuals.

Unpack Misty’s Gear
Misty can’t wait to explore her new home. You can help by carefully unpacking her and checking that everything
listed above has arrived in good shape.

Misty II AC
Power Supply
(thick connector)
You can charge Misty with her wireless charging station, or you can plug Misty’s AC power supply directly into the port on her base.
Note: Misty’s power supply is not interchangeable with the power supply for the wireless charging station.

Power Misty On
Power Misty on by toggling the power switch on the bottom of her chassis to the “on” position. Misty’s eyes
gradually open as she boots up. She is done booting up when her eyes appear fully open.

Connect Misty to Your Wi-Fi Network
You send commands to Misty and upload code to her system over your Wi-Fi network. Use the Misty App to connect
Misty to Wi-Fi. For more information about the Misty App, go to docs.mistyrobotics.com/tools-&-apps/mobile/misty-app
1. Download the Misty App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
2. Enable Bluetooth on your device.
3. Connect your device to your Wi-Fi network.
4. Open the Misty App and follow the onscreen prompts to connect Misty to your Wi-Fi network.
Important! The Misty App displays Misty’s IP address when she is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Use this IP
address to connect Misty to her online tools and to interact with her REST API.
Note: Misty checks for system updates each time she connects to the internet. If Misty starts to download an
update, place her on her wireless charging station or use her AC power cable to connect her to an outlet (see the
Charging Misty section of this guide). Leave Misty connected to power for the duration of the update. Do not attempt
to send commands to Misty until the update is complete.

Charging Misty
You can charge Misty with her wireless charging station, or you can plug Misty’s AC power supply (optional
accessory) directly into the port on her base.
Wireless Charging
1. Connect the AC power supply for the
charging station to the power port on the back
of the charging station.
2. Place the charging station on the oor.
3. Connect the AC power supply to an outlet.
4. Place the power brick in the hollow
compartment behind the charging station
and wrap any extra length of cable around the
nodes inside this compartment.
5. Place Misty on the center of the charging
station. Position her to be facing out, with
her back toward the rear compartment of the
charging station.
Wired Charging (optional accessory)
1. Remove the rubber ap covering the power port on
the underside of Misty’s base.
2. Connect Misty’s AC power supply to her power port.
3. Connect the power supply to an outlet.
Note: Misty arrives with her battery charged and
shouldn’t require additional charging before rst use.
However, you should connect your Misty to power
if she starts to download a system update, or if she
stops responding to commands.

Carrying Misty
To safely carry Misty when she is powered on, rmly grip her torso or base. To carry Misty when she is powered off,
grip the built-in carrying handle on the back of her head.
Powered On Powered Off

Safety on High Surfaces
When you work with Misty on a high surface (like a desk or table), we recommend elevating her treads so
she can’t drive. To do this you can set her on the foam block that arrives in her box.

Steer Clear of Water
Misty’s hazards system helps her avoid driving down the stairs, but it doesn’t detect water. Keep Misty
away from sinks, bathtubs, puddles, wet oors, and other sources of liquid in her environment.

Robot Hygiene
To clean Misty’s chassis and display, wipe her down with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaning
agents, thinners, or abrasive or corrosive materials. To clear dust and debris away from Misty’s time-of-
ight covers and her fan intake areas, blow these areas clean with low-pressure compressed air.
