CAUTION • The infrared signal transmission may |

|
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.

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
NOTE • 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.
When cleaning is complete
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 CAUTION complete and starts cleaning again from the beginning.
