Cleaner on a flat floor in order to prevent a malfunction of the obstacle detecting sensor. In addition, start cleaning from a location where there are no obstacles . For example, curtains or walls must be
30cm from the Robot Cleaner.
Tip For best results:
•Briefly scan the area to be cleaned for big and small objects that will cause difficulty for the Robot Cleaner.
•If cleaning is started when the Robot Cleaner is at the home station, the device can rapidly be returned to the home station as the current home position has been accurately read.
•When the mop plate is installed, to prevent a 2nd contamination from the contaminated mop, it will not go over door sills of 5 mm or higher.

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
Automatic charging
The Robot Cleaner returns to the home station at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
If 10 minutes elapse without the Robot Cleaner moving or the battery is too low, the power will be automatically turned OFF.
Do NOT turn OFF the Main Power Switch as the battery will not be recharged. If the machine is returned manually with the Main Power Switch OFF, it announces an error message, "Main power switch on the back of the Robot Cleaner is turned off. Please turn the switch on."
In the event that the unit returns to the Home Station due to a
low battery during the cleaning, cleaning will be started, after recharging, from the nearest place of the area which has not been cleaned before. (Page 19)
If Robot Cleaner is unable to dock to the home station on its first attempt, it will try again until it docks successfully.
When Robot Cleaner has completed all areas that it can clean, it will return to the home station even when the battery level is not low.
Manual charging
You can manually charge the battery prior to using the Robot Cleaner for the first time or to charge the battery during cleaning.
Method 1. Attach the Robot Cleaner to the home
station by aligning to the front side of the
home station. A melody sound will be
generated along with an audio message
to start charging.
If a voice message, "Main power switch on the back of the Robot Cleaner is turned off. Please turn the switch on." is announced repeatedly, then turn on the Main Power Switch.
Method 2. When the 'HOME' button of the remote control or the Robot Cleaner is pressed, charging will be prompted by automatically generating a searching
signal and returning the Robot Cleaner to the home station.
If the Robot Cleaner did not start cleaning from the home station or if the Robot Cleaner is manually charged by pressing the Home button, it may take slightly longer to find the home station.
If the Robot Cleaner is within 10 cm of the front of the charging terminal while the power is turned on from Standby, it will automatically be returned to the home station and charging will begin.
Tip Take the following precautions when using the home station:
• If foreign material is caught on the charging terminal, charging may not be activated. Wipe the terminal from time to time with a dry cloth after the power plug is disconnected.(p33)
• To prevent electric shock or damage to the home station, do not touch the charging terminal with any metallic objects.
