Installing batteries in the remote control (Fig. E)
Slide off the battery compartment lid, and insert two
AAA size (LR03) batteries, taking care to align correctly
the polarity (+/–).
NOTICE: Do not use new and old batteries together,
nor use different types of battery together.
NOTICE: Remove the batteries, if the remote control
is not going to be used for a long time.
CAUTION: If the skin or eyes come into
contact with electrolyte leaking from the batteries,
immediately flush with water.
Pairing the Robotic Cleaner and the remote control
The Robotic Cleaner comes already paired with the
remote control. However, the pairing process must be
performed again if you replace the remote control.
1. Press and hold the
and Cruise mode (Fig. F-7) buttons
simultaneously on the Robotic Cleaner until the
buzzer beeps twice.
2. Press and hold the
and Location beacon (Fig. G-3) buttons
simultaneously on the remote control until the
buzzer beeps once.
If pairing fails and the buzzer beeps 5 times, retry
pairing again.
Organizing rooms
To ensure smooth cruising
• Shut the doors to the room. If the difference in the
level of the door threshold is small enough that the
Robotic Cleaner can pass over it without problem,
the door can also be left open so that the Robotic
Cleaner continues and cleans the adjoining room.
• Place obstacles in front of easily damaged furniture,
etc.
• Place obstacles to prevent the Robotic Cleaner from
entering locations where it may become stuck, such
as under low shelves.
• Move tall, thin and unstable objects and other easily
tipped over objects to another room.
• Lock the wheels of carts or other objects, or move
them to another room.
• Arrange electrical cords along the walls.
• Move cushions, books or other objects that may
impede the Robotic Cleaner from cruising to another
room.
• Raise the parts of curtains or other objects that
droop onto the floor.
• Move any floor coverings with easily pulled-out
strands or differences in level and floor coverings
that are thin and slide easily to another room.
• Fold any floor covering tassels beneath the floor
coverings.
• Put away any small or expensive objects that may
be easily vacuumed up.

• Put away any cords, belts, strings, thin papers, or
plastic bags, lying on the floor.
• Retract any retractable floor power sockets.
• Cover any gratings dividing floor sections with
boards, etc. as the Robotic Cleaner may detect
them as boundaries and fail to move across them.
Preventing the Robotic Cleaner from falling
• If the cleaning area contains a flight of stairs or other
section where the Robotic Cleaner may fall down, in
order to keep the Robotic Cleaner out of the section,
place objects with a height of 15 cm (5-7/8") or taller
and that are heavy enough to withstand the impact
of the Robotic Cleaner in front of the section.
• Block sunlight and infrared rays with curtains. (The
Robotic Cleaner may fall to a lower level when
backing up to avoid sunlight or infrared rays.)
• Close aluminum sash doors. (The Robotic Cleaner
may not detect the difference in level between the
aluminum sash rail and the floor and may fall out of
the door.)
• Move any floor coverings near differences in level to
another room. (The Robotic Cleaner may not detect
the difference and may fall.)
NOTE
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner near or to vacuum
up flammable substances. (It may result in explosion
or fire.)
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in wet locations,
locations that may become wet, or locations with
high temperature and humidity. Also, do not vacuum
up water. (This may result in electric shock, short-
circuit, fire, deformation or malfunction.)
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in locations where
the distance from the wall to a difference in level
is approx. 1 m (3.3 ft.) or less. (In rare cases the
Robotic Cleaner may fall while backing up.)
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in areas where
barriers that the Robotic Cleaner cannot climb over
are located in the vicinities of walls or obstacles.
The Robotic Cleaner may get stuck on the barrier
while moving backward to avoid the wall or the
obstacle.
• Deactivate any home security systems, etc. (The
Robotic Cleaner may be mistakenly detected as an
intruder.)
• The Robotic Cleaner may not avoid differences in
level of 5.5 cm (2-3/16") or less.
• Noise may appear on TV screens during operation.
(This is not a malfunction of the television.)
• Do not leave the Robotic Cleaner for long periods
with the battery cartridge installed. (The battery
electrolyte may leak.)
• Do not turn the Robotic Cleaner upside down with
the battery cartridge installed. (A button may be
pressed, resulting in unintended operation.)
