First, turn the power switch to the off position. Press on the two circles of the battery cover and slide the cover towards you and insert the battery.

Install the battery in the compartment, ensuring the +/- terminals of the battery match the +/- indicators in the battery compartment

Installing & Removing the Side Brush

To install: Push the brush directly onto the holder.

To remove: Hold the brush bristle and pull upward to remove the brush.

Getting Ready to Clean

1. Install the edge cleaning brushes and the battery according to the assembly instructions.
   
2. Leave the power switch on and charge the battery directly from power cord for 4-5 hours prior to the first operation.
   
3. Use the invisible wall to keep the robot from cleaning in areas where obstructions have not been removed.
   

Initial Charging of the Battery: AC/DC Adaptor

Recharging the Battery: Docking Station

NOTE: The unit will not charge if the power switch is OFF.

Make sure the docking station is installed correctly with at least 40 inches to one side, 12 inches to the opposing side and no obstructions in front of the docking station. After the initial charge is complete, plug the wall adaptor directly into the docking station.

To test the auto-charge feature of the dock, turn the power switch ON and select "00" with the center button (see control panel details). The vacuum should back into the dock for recharging if the appropriate spacing was provided for the docking station.

Cleaning the Dust Bin

To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

1. Push the top cover to open.
   
2. Pull up the dust bin handle and take out the dust bin from the cleaner.
   
3. Open the top cover of dust bin. Unsnap dust bin filter.
   
4. Empty the dust and dirt from the dust bin.
   

5. Rinse the dust bin with tap water. It is not necessary to wash every time.
   Do not machine wash the dustbin.
   
6. Periodically clean the filter with a soft bristle brush.
   Do not wash the filter.
   
7. Once clean, reinstall the filter and close the dust bin lid.
   
8. Place dust bin back in cleaner and close top cover.
   

Do not operate vacuum with damp or wet filters, or without filters or the Dust Bin in place. Allow components to dry before reassembling the Dust Bin.

Cleaning the Intake

After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate around the intake of the vacuum and the working efficiency can be reduced.
To ensure the best efficiency and constant airflow, the intake should be cleaned periodically by removing any debris from the intake or brushroll.
Before cleaning the intake ensure the robot is not attached to the charging cable or dock, and the power switch is in the off position.

Cleaning the Sensors

After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate on the sensors of the vacuum and the working efficiency can be reduced.
To ensure the best efficiency, the sensors should be cleaned off periodically by brushing any dirt or debris from them.
Before cleaning the sensors, ensure the robot is not attached to the charging cable or dock and the power switch is in the off position.

Cleaning the Side Brushes

After being used for a period of time, the brushes need to be cleaned to work more effectively.

Turn off the power. Place bottom of the cleaner upward on a flat surface. Hold the brush bristle and pull upward to remove the brush.

The side brushes can be rinsed and if they become crooked, you can soak them in hot water to make them return to the original shape. Place the brushed back in after they have completely dried.

Troubleshooting

To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR ROBOT VACUUM.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use for any purpose other than described in this User's Guide. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Do not charge with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at a qualified technician.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord.
• Do not handle charger, docking station or robot vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not use in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
• Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without filter in place.
• Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.
• Keep appliance on a level surface.
• Do not carry the robot vacuum cleaner while it is running.
• Place the cords from other appliance out of the area to be cleaned.
• Do not operate the vacuum in a room where an infant or child is sleeping.
• Do not operate the vacuum in an area where there are lit candles or fragile objects on the floor to be cleaned.
• Do not operate the vacuum in a room that has lit candles on furniture that the vacuum may accidentally hit or bump into. - Do not allow children to sit on the vacuum.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Do not carry the appliance with your finger on the switch.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 degrees C may cause explosion.
• Having servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• For use only with battery pack.
• For use only with charger.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This model is for household use only.

• Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from children.
• Do not plug in your vacuum cleaner UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn power switch off and disconnect plug from electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
