Note: The plug only fits on the connector in one way: with the tab on the side of the hook on the
connector (Fig. 10).
5 Place the rechargeable battery in the rechargeable battery cavity (Fig. 11).
6 Slide the dust container compartment cover back onto the robot until it locks into
position (Fig. 12).
Note: Make sure the two cover latches slide into the appropriate holes in the housing of the robot. The
robot does not work and the dust compartment indicator flashes when the cover latches have not been
inserted properly (see chapter 'Using your robot', section 'Indicator signals and their meaning').
Preparing for use
Charge the battery for at least 4 hours each time to ensure the rechargeable battery performs best
and has a long life. A fully charged battery gives you a cleaning time of approximately 50 minutes on
hard floors.
Charging
1 Make sure the on/off switch is in 'off' position when you start charging the robot.
2 Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket for the small plug on the robot. Insert the
adapter into a wall socket (Fig. 13).
3 When the rechargeable battery is charging, the battery indicator flashes slowly (Fig. 14).
4 When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the battery indicator lights up
continuously (Fig. 15).
Note: It is possible that the on/off switch is still in 'on' position while charging. In that case, the robot will
not work when you press the on/off switch once to start a new cleaning run. You have to press the on/off
switch a second time to switch on the robot.

Preparing for cleaning
1 Before you switch on the robot, clear the floor of loose objects such as toys, magazines and
shoes. Remove mains cords, wires and the pull cords of curtains or blinds from the floor.
2 Remove the small plug from the socket on the robot if it is still inserted (Fig. 16).
Note: The robot does not operate when it is connected to the mains. Therefore, always disconnect the
adapter from the robot and the mains before use.
Note: Always store the adapter in a safe place before you switch on the robot.
3 Make sure the dust container is empty and the filter is properly installed.
4 Place the robot on the floor in an area where there is enough free space around it.
Cleaning
1 Press the on/off switch to switch on the robot (Fig. 17).
Caution: Always make sure the filter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot
without the filter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged.
Caution: Always stay close by when the robot cleans near a staircase.
