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 VIRTUAL GUARD or run against an obstacle,
because the remote control signal has a higher priority than the VIRTUAL GUARD 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 VIRTUAL GUARD away from the charger as auto charging may be
interrupted if the VIRTUAL GUARD 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 VIRTUAL GUARD in another direction or set the fence length to an
appropriate value if the distance detection sensor of the VIRTUAL GUARD faces
the charger, as it may interrupt auto charging.
Using Guard (virtual door) mode
The VIRTUAL GUARD forms an invisible door that the
robotic vacuum cleaner cannot cross until current room
is completly cleaned. The VIRTUAL GUARD opens the
invisible door when cleaning the of 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 VIRTUAL GUARD at the entrance of the
room to be cleaned.
- Install the VIRTUAL GUARD so that the distance
detection sensor can form an invisible barrier that
the robotic vacuum cleaner cannot cross.

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

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)
