EarthRovers come in different models, and the steps to power them on are slightly different. Follow the instructions for your model below.
EarthRover Mini or Mini+
Locate the back panel of your EarthRover Mini or Mini+.
Flip open the covering. Inside, you’ll see:
SIM slot on the right
Charging port in the middle
Power button on the left
Press and hold the power button for 5–10 seconds until the lights turn steady (not blinking).
Light Indicators (Mini or Mini+)
Left light = Battery status
Red = Low battery
Orange = Moderate battery
Green = High or full battery
Right light = Network status (Wi-Fi or 4G)
Red = Not connected
Flashing red = Connecting
Green = Connected to Wi-Fi or 4G
Tip: Make sure your EarthRover is charged before powering on. If it does not turn on, connect it to the charger and try again.
EarthRover Zero
Carefully lift the body of your EarthRover Zero to access the underside.
Locate the circular power button at the bottom.
Press and hold the button until you hear a beeping sound.
The bot is on once the battery display shows the percentage.
