Battery and Charging

  • To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
  • Do not wipe the charging contacts with wet cloth or wet hands.
  • Turn the robot off and use original packaging for shipment.
  • If placing the robot into storage, charge it fully and turn it off before placing it in a cool dry place. Recharge it at least every three months to prevent the battery over discharging.
  • Do not use the product when the temperature is higher than 40°C (104° F ) or lower than 4°C (39°F), or there is any liquid or sticky substance on the floor.

B1 Important Information

Tidy cables and loose items from theB1-1— 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.

B1-2— When using the 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 potential problems. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.

20 / 71
Section 20

B2 Position the charging dock

Take the screwdriver from its storage bin at the bottom of the base. Place dock upside down on a soft, flat surface (carpet/towel/cloth) and attach the base by using the six screws provided.

Note: Hold the dustbin cover securely when upside down to prevent damage from falling.

Connect the power cable to the dock, and keep the excess cable inside the storage slot. Place the dock on a hard and flat floor (wood/tile/concrete etc.), flat against a wall. Keep at least 0.3 m (1 ft) of clearance on either side and 1 m (3 ft) both in front and above. Make sure the location has good WiFi for a better experience with the mobile app, and then plug it in.

21 / 71
Section 21

Notes:

  • The status indicator light turns off automatically when the robot is charging.
  • The status indicator turns red if an error occurs.
  • Do not use without a dustbin cover or dust bag.
  • Place the dock on a flat floor away from fire, heat, and water. Avoid narrow spaces or locations where the robot may be suspended in the air.
  • Placing the dock on a soft surface (carpet/mat) may cause the dock to tilt over and cause problems docking and departing.
  • Keep excess power cable inside the storage slot so that the robot will not get tangled in the cables, and the dock will not be dragged away or disconnect from the power supply.
  • Keep the dock away from direct sunlight or anything that may block the dock location beacon; otherwise, the robot may fail to return to the dock.
  • The Auto-Empty Dock recharges and empties. Store the standard robot dock before use. Failure to do so may cause issues returning to dock.
  • Maintain the dock according to the maintenance instructions. Do not clean the dock with a wet cloth

Common Issues

ProblemSolution
Unable to power onThe battery level is low. Put the robot on the charging dock and charge it before use. ·The battery temperature is too low or too high. Only use the robot within the range of 4-40°C (39-104°F).
Unable to chargeCheck the power indicator light turns on and that both ends of the power cable are properly connected. ·If contact is poor, clean the contact areas on the charging dock and the robot.
Slow chargingWhen used at high or low temperatures, the robot will automatically reduce its charging speed to extend battery life. ·The charging contacts may be dirty. Wipe them with a dry cloth.
Unable to dockThere are too many obstacles near the charging dock. Move it to an open area. ·The robot is too far from the charging dock. Place it closer and retry.
Abnormal behaviorRestart the robot.
Noise during cleaningThe main brush, side brush, main wheels, or omnidirectional wheel may be jammed. Turn off the robot and clean them. ·VibraRise system abnormal. Check for jammed objects.
Unable to connect to WiFiWiFi is disabled. Reset the WiFi and try again. ·The WiFi signal is poor. Move the robot to an area with good WiFi reception. ·Abnormal WiFi connection.

Common Issues

ProblemSolution
Scheduled cleaning is not workingKeep the robot charged. Scheduled cleaning can only begin when the battery level is above 20%.
Is power always being drawn when the robot is on the charging dock?The robot will draw power while it is docked to maintain battery performance, but power consumption is minimal.
Does the robot need to be charged for at least 16 hours the first three times it is used?No, the robot can be used any time after it has been fully charged.
No or little water during moppingCheck whether there is water in the water tank and use the mobile app to set the scrub intensity or check the manual for full instructions on how to correctly install the mop cloth and mop cloth mount.
Cleaning does not resume after rechargingMake sure that the robot is not in DND mode. DND mode will prevent cleanup. When cleaning a space requiring a top-up charge, if the robot was placed manually on the charging dock before it returned to the dock automatically, it will not be able to continue cleanup.
The robot cannot return to the charging dock after spot cleaning or when it has been moved manuallyAfter spot cleaning or a significant position change, the robot will re-generate the map. If the charging dock is too far away, it may not be able to return to recharge and must be placed on the charging dock manually.
The robot has begun to miss certain spotsThe wall sensor or cliff sensors may be dirty. Wipe them with a soft dry cloth.
It takes a long time to fill the water tankThe filter may be blocked and need cleaning.
