Important Tips Before Use
Align the charging pins on the bottom of the robot with the charging pins on the dock. When the robot is successfully connected to the charging dock, an audible tone will activate. The docking indicator light on the robot will flash to indicate the robot is charging. Once charging is completed, the indicator light will illuminate steadily. Charging time is approximately 5 hours.
When manually charging your robot, keep the robot 1cm away from the back of the charging dock. Make sure the charging pins of the robot are well connected to the charging pins of the charging dock. Ensure that there is nothing obstructing the connections which may prevent charging.
In order to ensure the battery life of the robot, do not remove the charging adapter before the robot is fully charged.
Presson the remote control to return the robot to the charging dock. During the cleaning process, the robot can sense when battery power is low and automatically converts to recharging mode to start its return to the charging dock.
Use only original adapter for charging to avoid damages to vacuum cleaner.
To optimize the battery longevity, charge the vacuum cleaner for at least 5 hours before using for the first time. Never charge the batteries in temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 39.2°F (4°C). It is normal for the charger to become warm when charging. It is recommended to store the robot between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
NOTE:To preserve the battery's longevity, recharge at least once every 3 months.
Operate robot at room temperature between 39.2°F (4°C) and 104°F (40°C) in order to ensure its safety and normal function. Make sure the dust bin is installed before use.
NOTE: If the robot stops working for more than ten minutes, it automatically enters the sleep mode (all the lights on the robot will turn off). Presson the robot or any key on the remote control to wake up robot.
NOTE: The robot will return to the charging dock automatically when the battery level becomes low or when the robot finishes cleaning.
