OPERATION
The Robotic Cleaner cruises around on the floor
according to the preset cruising mode, avoiding
obstacles using ultrasonic sensors (Fig. P-1), and
captures dust and dirt and other debris on the route
using the side brushes, main brush, and vacuum fan.
However, the sensors may not detect an obstacle
in some situations. If your Robotic Cleaner hits an
obstacle, the Robotic Cleaner's bumper (Fig. P-2)
absorbs impact and changes the direction of travel.
NOTE: There may be cases where the Robotic
Cleaner could not pass over the barriers at the height
of up to 1.5 cm (9/16"), even though the Robotic
Cleaner is designed to pass over such barriers.
NOTE: The Robotic Cleaner may avoid an area
where is colored in black, having black wood-grain
patterns, or an area made of glass.
NOTE: After a cleaning cycle is completed, some dust
and dirt may remain under certain conditions.
NOTE: Wireless communication may be interrupted
or blocked under the following conditions:
• Inside structures built with reinforced concrete or
metallic building materials
• When the Robotic Cleaner is behind an obstacle
• Near radio communication equipment that uses
the same frequency band
• Near devices that generate electromagnetic fields
(microwave ovens, etc.) or static electricity, or that
cause radio wave interference
Basic operations
CAUTION: Always make sure that the Robotic
Cleaner is turned OFF before adjusting or checking
any function on the Robotic Cleaner.
NOTICE: If dew condensation has occurred, turn
OFF the Robotic Cleaner and wait until the Robotic
Cleaner dries up, before restarting operation.
NOTICE: All settings are not cleared when the
Robotic Cleaner is turned OFF. Be sure to confirm
that the settings are right by the lamps (Figs. F-6, 7,
9, 11) on the Robotic Cleaner to prevent unexpected
operation.
1. Press the POWER button (Fig. F-8) on the
Robotic Cleaner.
The Robotic Cleaner enters standby mode and
the Battery indicator (Fig. F-5) lights up.
(For details, see "Battery indicator on the Robotic
Cleaner" below.)
2. Press the Cruise mode button (Fig. F-7) on the
Robotic Cleaner repeatedly to select mode, or press
the or Cruise mode button (Fig. G-4) on the
remote control.
The selected mode lamp lights up. (For details, see
"Cruise mode" below.)
3. Press the POWER button (Fig. F-8) on the
Robotic Cleaner or the
G-2) on the remote control to start cleaning.
The pilot lamp (Fig. F-1) flashes and the buzzer
beeps while cleaning.
To pause the cleaning operation, perform step 3 again.
To resume the cleaning operation, perform step 3 again.
To turn OFF the Robotic Cleaner, press and hold
the POWER button (Fig. F-8) on the Robotic Cleaner
until all indicators turn OFF, or press the
OFF button (Fig. G-1) on the remote control.
CAUTION: Do not get a close look at the pilot lamp
light, or avoid the light getting in your eyes. Doing so
may harm your eyes.
Battery indicator on the Robotic Cleaner
The battery indicator located on the corresponding
battery cartridge side lights up and indicates the
remaining power of the battery cartridge.
NOTICE: The table below provides a rough indication
of the remaining battery power. The remaining
amount may vary depending on the conditions of use
and the room temperature.
Battery indicator on the battery cartridge
The remaining power can also be checked using the
battery indicator (Fig. I-1) on battery cartridges with
model numbers ending in the letter "B."
Remove the battery cartridge and press the
(Fig. I-2).
NOTICE: The table below provides a rough indication
of the remaining battery power. The remaining
amount may vary depending on the conditions of use
and the room temperature.
