FAQs

How long does the gecko stay charged?

The gecko provides approximately 10-15 minutes of continuous playtime per full charge.

Can it climb any wall?

It performs best on smooth, flat surfaces like painted walls or glass. It may struggle with heavily textured or wallpapered surfaces.

Does it come with batteries for the remote?

No, the remote requires two AAA batteries which are not included in the set.

What is the maximum range of the remote?

The 2.4GHz remote has a maximum effective range of 10 to 15 metres.

How do I know when the gecko is done charging?

The device takes roughly 70-80 minutes to fully charge. Refer to the manual for specific LED status indicator details if applicable.

Can multiple geckos be used in the same room?

Because the gecko uses a 2.4GHz frequency, it is generally stable, but standard interference rules apply if multiple units are operating in very close proximity.

Troubleshooting

Gecko will not stick to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is smooth, clean, and free of dust or debris.

The gecko pulls to one side while moving

Use the fine-tuning dial on the remote control to adjust the steering alignment.

Remote control is unresponsive

Replace the two AAA batteries in the remote and ensure the gecko is fully charged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, charge the gecko using the provided USB-C cable until the charge cycle is complete (70-80 minutes). Insert two fresh AAA batteries into the remote controller. Ensure the gecko's power switch is set to 'ON' before attempting to pair it with the remote. When cleaning, use only a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior; avoid water or harsh chemicals to protect the internal electronic sensors and mechanical limb components. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the climbing mechanism.
