Operation
How the robotic sweeper operates
TIP: For more ecient cleaning and better results, use the robotic sweeper in small enclosed areas. If you have
a larger area to clean try to segment it into smaller areas, moving the robotic sweeper from one area to another.
Closing all entry doors is an easy way to conne a cleaning space. For example: if you have an L-shaped room,
divide the room up into 2 rectangles. Start the robotic sweeper in 1 rectangle and when nished move it to the
2nd rectangle.
NOTE: The robotic sweeper is intended for bare oor cleaning only. For best results clear the area to be cleaned
of any cords, rugs or mats.
TIP: Throw rugs and mats rolled up act as great barriers to enclose a desired cleaning area. Best performance
and results come when the robotic sweeper is set up to clean in conned spaces where it cannot wander o.
Random Edge FollowingCircular
This robotic sweeper is equipped with functions suitable for cleaning HARD FLOOR SURFACES in the home
only, such as wood, tiles, and linoleum. This robotic sweeper has a three part cleaning routine that continuously
repeats. The routine consists of Random, Circular, and Edge Following.
NOTE: This process will repeat until it is stopped or batteries run out of power.
NOTE: This product is intended for use in conned/enclosed spaces.
Continual 3 step cleaning process
NOTE: The cleaning program consists of 3 steps that occur in order and repeat. They are not selectable, they
have been chosen for optimal eectiveness.
• The robot will start in random mode for 3 minutes then it will go to circular mode until it hits an edge, which
can be a wall, side of a dresser or edge of a stair.
• Then it will start its edge cleaning mode for 3 minutes and repeat starting with random mode again.

Operation
Recharging the battery
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts – turn power o (0=o), unplug charger and
then remove battery before servicing.
WARNING: Use only the charger supplied with the robotic sweeper. Do not use any other chargers. Risk of
re and personal injury can occur if any other charger is used.
NOTE: The robotic sweeper uses a charging timer so everytime you plug, and unplug it will start a new 4 hour
charging cycle. So if you charge it the light is solid green, then unplug it and plug it back in, the green led light
will ash and the robotic sweeper will charge for 4 hours again.
1. To ensure the best performance of the rechargeable battery and lengthen its life span, the battery is best used
after being fully charged for 4 hours every time. The charging function will be cut o automatically after
continuously charging for 4 hours.
2. Before charging , make sure the battery is correctly installed and the power switch has been turned to “OFF”
position (0=OFF).
3. To charge, plug the power supply (A) into a wall outlet and plug the end of the power supply to the charging port
(B) on the robotic sweeper.
4. When charging, the “CHARGE” LED indication lamp (C) on the control panel will ash green, and it will stay
green when the battery is fully charged.
5. When the battery is low, the “BATTERY LOW” LED indication lamp (D) on the control panel will light up
and stay RED.
NOTE: If you forget to turn o the power before charging, after the cleaner is fully charged, you have to switch o
the robotic sweeper and turn it on again to start cleaning.
TIP: To help ensure the robotic sweeper is ready to clean at its best, always clean the dirt cup and lter after each
use. Keep robotic sweeper plugged in and charging when not in use.
TIP: If robot has been in storage please charge prior to using to have it clean at its optimal performance.

Adjustment of cliff sensors
If the distance between the stair and the ground is short, please adjust both windows of “cli ” sensors (A)
to “2” or “1” or “0” position to prevent the cleaner from falling down stairs. Please test it before working.
ATTENTION: If the colour of the oor is dark (e.g. Black), and robot goes backwards continuously, close the
window position to the “1” to increase the cli sensor’s sensitivity (C) position.
