CAUTION

About the IrDA sensor.

● The infrared signal transmission may

not be smooth in locations exposed to halogen lamps or in outdoor locations.

● Robotic vacuum cleaner uses 3 types of

infrared devices and a device may not work in front of another device with a higher priority.

●

When controlling the robotic vacuum cleaner with the remote control, the robotic vacuum cleaner may cross the virtual fence of the Smart gate or run against an obstacle, because the remote control signal has a higher priority than the Smart gate signal.

● When using the robotic vacuum cleaner in a small location or at a close distance,

it may malfunction due to interference of the infrared signals.

● Install the Smart gate away from the charger as auto charging may be interrupted if

the Smart gate is near the charger.

● If the fence length is set to a value longer than the required distance, the robotic

vacuum cleaner may fail to clean properly.

Set the fence length to an appropriate value using the distance control switch.

● If more than one robotic vacuum is used simultaneously, they may malfunction

due to interference of the infrared signals.

● Turn the Smart gate in another direction or set the fence length to an appropriate

value if the distance detection sensor of the Smart gate faces the charger, as it may interrupt auto charging.

Using Guard (virtual door) mode

The Smart gate forms an invisible door that the robotic vacuum cleaner cannot cross until current room is complete cleaned. The Smart gate opens the invisible door when cleaning the room is complete.

1. Select Guard (virtual door) mode using the Mode/ Power button.

- The mode lamp ashes green.

2. Set the fence length using the distance control switch.

3. Install the Smart gate at the entrance of the room to be cleaned.

- Install the Smart gate so that the distance detection

sensor can form an invisible barrier that the robotic vacuum cleaner cannot cross.

Troubleshooting when the robotic vacuum cleaner does not return to the charger

●

Check the installation of the charger

- When the charger is in a location where the charger

cannot guide the robotic vacuum cleaner to the charger.

- When the charger is more than 5m away from robotic

vacuum cleaner.

: It may require a longer time for the robotic vacuum

cleaner to return to the charger.

● Manually charge the robotic vacuum cleaner in the following

cases.

- When the charger is installed in a corner.

- When the battery is fully discharged.

- When the robotic vacuum cleaner is trapped by an

obstacle (furniture etc.)

- When the robotic vacuum cleaner cannot pass over the

doorsill to the location where the charger is installed.

(The height of the doorsill should be about 1cm or less).

AUTO CLEANING

The robotic vacuum cleaner will move by itself and automatically clean the house until cleaning is completed once.

■

If cleaning begins when the robotic vacuum cleaner is docked with

the charger station, the time to return to the charger is decreased since the robotic vacuum cleaner remembers its original position while moving.

■

If the battery level becomes too low while cleaning, the robotic

vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the charger station and resume cleaning after charging its battery. (Number of cleaning operations resumed: Once)

About the Resume Cleaning function

● If the robotic vacuum cleaner has evaluated

that cleaning is complete, the resume cleaning function is not performed.

● If you move the robotic vacuum cleaner when it

is being charged or press a button, the robotic vacuum cleaner judges cleaning to be complete and does not resume cleaning.

Do not move the robotic vacuum cleaner when it is cleaning or press a button while it is cleaning. Otherwise, the robotic vacuum cleaner judges cleaning to be complete and starts cleaning again from the beginning.
