With this app installed on a supported Bluetooth-enabled device, you can remotely control, program, and adjust the balance settings of your robots.

Turn on the switch and hold the model upright with its weight on the floor until you feel its motors turning. Then the model will start balancing on its own. Open the app on your device.
