Preparations Before Use

Recharging
Push the Trilobite unit with its rear against the battery
charger's contact plate. Press it in securely. Keep it
pressed in until you hear an acknowledging signal
(this may take a few seconds). This is particularly
important if the batteries are almost entirely dead.
When the batteries are exhausted: Push Trilobite
against the charger and hold it there for about a minu-
te. Take it out and push it in again. Trilobite will then
automatically move towards the charger.

You may well develop a personal affection to Trilobite and
appreciate its intelligence.To get the best from your Trilobite,
we recommend you consider the following.
Charging (see also picture "Charging status")
Put the battery charger on the floor, connect it to the mains and
place it with its rear side facing the wall. Allow a free space of 0.2
metres to the right of the charger.
Check the battery indicator before vacuuming starts.
Refer to the lower, middle picture.

the charger is interrupted for more than 30 seconds during charging,

it, take a spin on the floor and then connect with the charger again.To

unused in the charger for a longer period of time, pull it out and push
it back in to start a new charge cycle.
Move the furniture
Trilobite picks its way around furniture, whether freestanding or placed
flush against a wall. However, cleaning is both quicker and more
effective if you move the furniture slightly before it is time to start
cleaning. Of course, you do not need to move heavy furniture such as
sofas. On the other hand, chairs can be conveniently placed on top of
tables, lamps can be moved out of the way, loose rugs can be shifted.
But don't complicate matters more than you need to! Normally, all you
need to do is to put Trilobite on the floor and let it get on with the job
of cleaning.
Loose objects
Trilobite cannot distinguish between dust, coins, rings and expensive
jewellery. Before starting Trilobite, be sure to put away small, loose
button.Vacuuming
objects you do not want to lose. Also make sure there are no cords or
other objects on the floor that may prevent Trilobite from moving
freely in the room.
