Troubleshooting

Issue Possible Cause and Solution

The robot vacuum does not turn on

The battery level is low. Fully charge the robot vacuum, and then try again. The ambient temperature is lower than 0°C or higher than 40°C. Make sure to use the robot vacuum between 0°C and 40°C.

The robot vacuum does not charge

Check whether the cord set is properly plugged into both the charging dock and the power outlet, and make sure the charging contacts are clean. If not, please wipe the charging contacts on both the dock and the robot vacuum clean with a dry cloth.
The robot vacuum cannot return to the dock to charge. Check whether there are too many obstacles around the charging dock. Place the dock in a location without any obstacles around it.

The robot vacuum does not work as expected

Turn off the robot vacuum, and turn it on again.

The robot vacuum makes a strange noise

A foreign object might be caught in the brush, side brush, or one of the wheels. Stop the robot vacuum and remove any debris.
The robot vacuum does not clean as efficiently as before, or leave dust behind. Please check whether the dust compartment is full. If so, empty it. Furthermore, please check the filter and clean it if necessary, and also check whether there is anything wrapped around any of the brushes.

Network configuration fails

The Wi-Fi password is wrong. Make sure to use the correct password. Switch to a 2.4 GHz network, as 5 GHz networks and enterprise routers are not supported currently. Make sure the robot vacuum is in an area with a strong Wi-Fi signal. The robot vacuum may not be in the awaiting connection state. Exit and reopen the app, and follow the correct steps to try configuring the network again.
The robot vacuum does not carry out the scheduled cleanup. Low battery level. The robot vacuum will only start scheduled cleanup when the remaining battery level is not less than 30%.

The mop pad is not wet enough

Check whether the water in the water tank is sufficient. Adjust the water level settings in the app. Follow the instructions in the user manual to install the mop pads correctly.

The mop pad is too wet

Adjust the water level settings in the app. Make sure the plug of the water tank is tightened properly.
The robot vacuum consumes electricity when it is left at the dock after being fully charged. When the robot vacuum is left at the dock, it will consume a small amount of electricity to allow the battery to maintain optimal performance in sleep mode.
The robot vacuum does not resume cleaning after charging. Make sure the robot vacuum is not set to DND mode which will prevent the robot vacuum from resuming cleanup. Disable or adjust the DND mode to make the robot vacuum resume cleanup.
The robot vacuum does not return to the charging dock after being moved. Moving the robot vacuum may cause it to re-position itself or re-map its surroundings. If the robot vacuum is too far from the charging dock, it might not be able to automatically return on its own, in which case you need to manually place the robot vacuum onto the charging dock.

The mop pad cannot rotate

The mop pad may be stuck by a foreign object. Please remove the foreign object then try again.
