Recording Environment Essentials
Tip: Velcro or tape Secondary Markers to tables to avoid students knocking them down or removing them from the environment.
• Place Secondary Markers in student groups, roughly three feet apart from each other to minimize audio interference. Make sure all markers are turned on and remain on for the entire recording.
• Place the robot centrally in the room, at a height where the infrared signal on the robot can “see” the Primary marker on you. Press center button to pause tracking (recording continues) if certain students do not consent to filming.
• Never place the robot too close to a wall or whiteboard. (Want to capture your presentation? Use Swivl Screencast-ing instead)
• Never mount the robot on an unstable surface such as a podium, slanted desk, or bookshelf. Use the Floor Stand or your own tripod at all times.

Recording Environment Essentials
1. Find the lanyard adjustment slider.
2. Place the lanyard around your neck and adjust the slider around in the back.
3. Check yourself out! The lanyard should be central on your chest.
Tip:Alternatively, attach the Lanyard Clip to your shirt high on the lapel or pocket.
When you turn your back to the robot, the infrared signal may “lose you.” If this happens, simply face your body toward the infrared on the robot for a moment to re-establish tracking and then proceed with movement.
