Product introduction
First of all, thank you for choosing WINBOT 68, the revolutionary window auto­cleaning robot with Artificial Intelligence technology! Please read this user manual carefully before the usage of WINBOT . It has two terminals: the main terminal and the sub terminal. With the use of magnet on both terminals, WINBOT can stay on the window securely even with no power. WINBOT has two cleaning wheels to move freely on the window to clean both sides of the window at the time. With the use of auto cleaning mode, WINBOT can automatically sense the edges on the window and create a map of tracks to clean the whole window. The easy replaceable lint-free cloth is used on both cleaning wheels. The water dispenser on the sub terminal can clean the dirt. The robot can operate in either AUTO Cleaning or Manual Cleaning Mode according to the instructions from the remote controller.

• If you do not know your glass thickness, please use the 5mm configuration for your first trial.
• While starting up, 4 lights will be twinkling 3 seconds if detected 5mm glass.
• For thinner glass with smaller number cleaning ring, magnetic field will be stronger and device might overheat easily. (Voice prompt).
• For thicker glass with larger number cleaning ring, magnetic field will be weaker and device might slip. (Voice prompt).
• Please do not use for glass thicker than 10mm. (Voice prompt).

WINBOT’s working area
Indoor window frame
Outdoor window frame
silver reflective tape
Defining working area
Use silver reflective tape to define WINBOT’s working area and use black tape for reflective glass.
The silver reflective tape on the indoor window should be aligned with the outer frame.
Detecting working area
The IR sensors on WINBOT can detect
• Window frame
• Frame-less window
• Silver reflective tape Notice:
• Please do NOT use on frameless window with strong sunlight.
• Please do NOT use on frameless matte surface glass.
• Use silver reflective tape for normal and black tape for reflective window.
Removing obstacles
Below situation will be recognized as running into obstacle.
Situation Possible solution
Partially opened window, the sub terminal will run into another window.
Outdoor window frame is smaller than the indoor one, the sub terminal will hit onto outdoor frame than indoor one.
Windows with pastes will affect the movement smoothness.
Please make sure all windows are closed. Tape silver reflective tape on indoor window
side to align the tape with outer frame to restrict the terminal clean area. Please use black tape for reflective window.
• The sub terminal switches smalle r number cleaning ring while slipping.
• The sub terminal switches larger numb er cleaning ring while overheat.

Question Possible solution
Table
Press one of sub terminal’s wheels down
WINBOT stops in the middle of the cleani ng process due to blockages on the window.
If the cleaning wheels on t he main and the sub terminals have not detached, you can do one of the following:
1. Switch the power off and on.
2. Move WINBOT to a safe location using the
remote controller.
3. Remove blockages (if any) from the window.
If the cleaning wheels on t he main and the sub terminals have detached, this is quite dangerous. You should
1. Check whether the safety rope is fastened
and tied to the indoor fixture.
2. Get the safety rope to the shortest.
3. Please check if the downstairs floor within
the cleaning area is safe.
4. Turn off the power.
5. Slowly move the main terminal until the
cleaning wheels on both terminals are facing each other.
6. Turn on the power.
7. Move WINBOT to a safe location using the
remote controller.
8. Remove blockages on the window.
Hold main terminals to the edge of table and press one wheel of the sub termina l down then press another wheel, the terminals should be separated.
The main and the sub terminals are sucked by accident.
How to confine WINBOT m o vi n g ar ea ?
Use silver reflective tape or white tape on indoor window side and use black tape for reflective window; IR sensor will detect the tape and turn around.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) 10
Page 14
Question Possible solution
What if WINBOT touches the window frame and makes alert or even stops with “ru nning into obstacle” voice instruction?
What if sunlight is very strong or pastes/ sticker is on the window that interfere WINBOT movement?
• If the window is partially opened, the sub terminal will run into another window. Make sure all windows are closed.
• If the outdoor windo w frame is small er than the indoor one, WINBOT might hit or stuck into the window frame. You should use silver reflective tape or white tape on indoor window side to align with outer frame to restrict the terminal cleaning area. Use black tape for reflective window.
1. Put the main terminal on the non-sti cker side
of window.
2. Press then on the remote controller
to turn off 6 IR sensors; do NOT turn off IR sensor while cleaning frameless windows.
