Organizing rooms

To ensure smooth cruising

•Shut the doors to the room. If the difference in the level of the door threshold is small enough that the Robotic Cleaner can pass over it without problem, the door can also be left open so that the Robotic

Cleaner continues and cleans the adjoining room.

•Place obstacles in front of easily damaged furniture, etc.

•Place obstacles to prevent the Robotic Cleaner from entering locations where it may become stuck, such as under low shelves.

•Move tall, thin and unstable objects and other easily tipped over objects to another room.

•Lock the wheels of carts or other objects, or move them to another room.

•Arrange electrical cords along the walls.

•Move cushions, books or other objects that may impede the Robotic Cleaner from cruising to another room.

•Raise the parts of curtains or other objects that droop onto the floor.

•Move any floor coverings with easily pulled-out strands or differences in level and floor coverings that are thin and slide easily to another room.

•Fold any floor covering tassels beneath the floor coverings.

•Put away any small or expensive objects that may be easily vacuumed up.

•Put away any cords, belts, strings, thin papers, or plastic bags, lying on the floor.

•Retract any retractable floor power sockets.

•Cover any gratings dividing floor sections with boards, etc. as the Robotic Cleaner may detect them as boundaries and fail to move across them.

Preventing the Robotic Cleaner from falling

•If the cleaning area contains a flight of stairs or other section where the Robotic Cleaner may fall down, in order to keep the Robotic Cleaner out of the section, place objects with a height of 15 cm (5-7/8") or taller and that are heavy enough to withstand the impact of the Robotic Cleaner in front of the section.

•Block sunlight and infrared rays with curtains. (The Robotic Cleaner may fall to a lower level when backing up to avoid sunlight or infrared rays.)

•Close aluminum sash doors. (The Robotic Cleaner may not detect the difference in level between the aluminum sash rail and the floor and may fall out of the door.)

•Move any floor coverings near differences in level to another room. (The Robotic Cleaner may not detect the difference and may fall.)

NOTE

•Do not use the Robotic Cleaner near or to vacuum up flammable substances. (It may result in explosion or fire.)

•Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in wet locations, locations that may become wet, or locations with high temperature and humidity. Also, do not vacuum up water. (This may result in electric shock, shortcircuit, fire, deformation or malfunction.)

•Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in locations where the distance from the wall to a difference in level is approx. 1 m (3.3 ft.) or less. (In rare cases the Robotic Cleaner may fall while backing up.)

•Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in areas where barriers that the Robotic Cleaner cannot climb over are located in the vicinities of walls or obstacles. The Robotic Cleaner may get stuck on the barrier while moving backward to avoid the wall or the obstacle.

•Deactivate any home security systems, etc. (The Robotic Cleaner may be mistakenly detected as an intruder.)

•The Robotic Cleaner may not avoid differences in level of 5.5 cm (2-3/16") or less.

•Noise may appear on TV screens during operation. (This is not a malfunction of the television.)

•Do not leave the Robotic Cleaner for long periods with the battery cartridge installed. (The battery electrolyte may leak.)

•Do not turn the Robotic Cleaner upside down with the battery cartridge installed. (A button may be pressed, resulting in unintended operation.)

8 ENGLISH

OPERATION

The Robotic Cleaner cruises around on the floor according to the preset cruising mode, avoiding obstacles using ultrasonic sensors (Fig. P-1), and captures dust and dirt and other debris on the route using the side brushes, main brush, and vacuum fan. However, the sensors may not detect an obstacle

in some situations. If your Robotic Cleaner hits an obstacle, the Robotic Cleaner’s bumper (Fig. P-2) absorbs impact and changes the direction of travel.

NOTE: There may be cases where the Robotic Cleaner could not pass over the barriers at the height of up to 1.5 cm (9/16"), even though the Robotic Cleaner is designed to pass over such barriers.

NOTE: The Robotic Cleaner may avoid an area where is colored in black, having black wood-grain patterns, or an area made of glass.

NOTE: After a cleaning cycle is completed, some dust and dirt may remain under certain conditions.

NOTE: Wireless communication may be interrupted or blocked under the following conditions:

•Inside structures built with reinforced concrete or metallic building materials

•When the Robotic Cleaner is behind an obstacle

•Near radio communication equipment that uses the same frequency band

NOTICE: The auto-on timer setting is cleared if the batteries are completely discharged.

Confining the Robotic Cleaner to a particular area

Boundary tape (Fig. L-1) and the boundary-sensing feature that employs infrared sensors, enable the Robotic Cleaner to avoid the following areas (Fig. L-2):

•An area that is divided into sections because the entire floor is so large that the Robotic Cleaner cannot clean the floor at a time

•An area where fragile articles are present that the Robotic Cleaner could damage

•An area full of goods and fixtures, barriers, or of an intricate shape, resulting in the Robotic Cleaner getting stuck

•An area in the vicinity of a staircase

•An area with a low barrier that the Robotic Cleaner can climb over and fall down to a lower floor, or that the Robotic Cleaner will get stuck on

Preparations

1.Select an even and smooth surface on the floor where you plan to place the boundary tape, and then clean the surface.

2.Place the boundary tape so that the side with the short bars is adjacent to the cleaning area and there are no air bubbles between the tape and the floor.

NOTICE: Be sure to use only genuine boundary tape. Using a tape other than the genuine article might risk malfunctioning of the boundary-sensing feature.

NOTICE: Do not place the boundary tape on uneven surfaces that may cause erroneous detection or

on surfaces where the tape may become soiled or damaged.

NOTICE: Be aware that some adhesive agent may remain on floors, or the floor may be damaged when you remove the boundary tape.

NOTICE: Keep the boundary tapes clean and check if any positions torn or ripped. If the tape is damaged, replace it.

WARNING: Do not place the boundary tape in any area where an accident occurs resulting from the Robotic Cleaner entering the area or the Robotic Cleaner falling down from the area. In such a case, place objects whose height is 15 cm (5-7/8") or higher and that are heavy enough to withstand the impact of the Robotic Cleaner, in place of the boundary tapes.

Operations

In standby mode, press the Boundary sensor button (Fig. F-11) on the Robotic Cleaner to activate the boundary sensor (Fig. O-2).

The lamp (Fig. F-11) lights up.

To deactivate the boundary sensor, press the Boundary sensor button again.

NOTICE: This setting is not possible in sleep mode with the auto-on timer activated.

Conseils pour assurer la durée de service maximale de la batterie

1.Chargez la batterie avant qu’elle ne soit complètement déchargée. Cessez toujours l’utilisation et rechargez la batterie quand vous remarquez que la puissance de l’outil diminue.

2.Ne rechargez jamais une batterie déjà complètement chargée. La surcharge réduit la durée de service de la batterie.

3.Chargez la batterie à une température ambiante de 10 °C à 40 °C (50 °F à 104 °F). Avant de charger une batterie chaude, laissez-la refroidir.

4.Il est recommandé de charger la batterie avant de la ranger pour une période prolongée (plus de six mois).

Dispositif de protection de l’outil et de la batterie

L’aspirateur robot est équipé d’un dispositif de protection de l’outil et de la batterie qui coupe automatiquement le courant du moteur pour prolonger la durée de service de l’aspirateur robot et des batteries. L’aspirateur robot s’arrête automatiquement dans les situations suivantes.

Surcharge

Lorsque l’aspirateur robot est surchargé et consomme une quantité anormale de courant, il s’arrête automatiquement sans aucune indication.

Pour redémarrer l’aspirateur robot, éteignez-le, éliminez la cause de la surcharge, puis remettez le contact.

Surchauffe

Lorsque l’aspirateur robot surchauffe, le témoin clignote 5 ou 7 fois par séquence et l’aspirateur robot s’arrête automatiquement.

Dans ce cas, laissez refroidir l’aspirateur robot avant de remettre le contact.

Décharge excessive

Lorsque la charge restante de la batterie est basse, l’aspirateur robot s’arrête automatiquement et ne répond plus aux commandes.

Dans ce cas, retirez et rechargez les batteries.
