Installation

Important Information

1. Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous items to prevent personal injury or property damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.
   
2. If using this robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
   

Note:
When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for major obstacles. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.

Using the Device

1. Place the charging dock
   Keep the Charging Dock on a level surface, flat against a wall. Connect the power cable to the Charging Dock and place any exposed cable into the cable slot. To ensure a better user experience of the mobile app, place the Charging Dock in an area with good WiFi coverage.

Note:

• Allow at least 0.5m (1.6ft) of clearance on each side, and more than 1.5m (4.9ft) in front of the Charging Dock.
  
• If the power cable hangs vertical to the ground, it may be caught by the robot, causing the Charging Dock to be disconnected.
• The Charging Dock indicator is on when the Charging Dock is electrified, and off when the robot is charging.
• Do not place the Charging Dock in places that are directly exposed to sunlight, and do not block the Location Beacon. Otherwise the robot may not be able to automatically return to the Charging Dock.
• Use double-sided tape to stick the Charging Dock down.

2. Secure the charging dock with the adhesive tape.
   Wipe the floor of the area where the charging dock will be placed with a dry cloth, then stick the enclosed double-sided tape to the floor. Place the dock onto the double-sided tape to secure it in place.
   

Note:

• Use of the double-sided tape to secure the charging dock is optional.
• When necessary, remove the double-sided adhesive tape slowly to reduce residue glue.

3. Attach the Moisture-Proof Mat
   After fixing the Charging Dock in place, use a dry cloth to clean the area where the Moisture-Proof Mat will be located. Peel off the outer layer of the double-sided tape attached to the bottom of the Moisture-Proof Mat, and stick the mat to the ground as shown.
   

Note:

• Always place the Moisture-Proof Mat on wooden floors.
• Peel the double-sided tape slowly to minimize residual adhesive.
• The Moisture-Proof mat attaches better to smooth surfaces.

4. Powering On and Charging
   Press and hold the button to power on the robot. Wait until the power light is steady, and then place the robot on the Charging Dock to charge. The robot is equipped with a built-in high performance lithiumion rechargeable battery pack. To maintain battery performance, keep the robot charged during normal use.
   
   The color of the power indicator indicates the battery level.

• White: 20%;
• Red: < 20%

Note:
The robot may not be turned on when the battery is low. In this case, connect the robot to the Charging Dock.
