CONVENIENT VIRTUAL GUARD FUNCTION

You can conne the robotic vacuum cleaner to a particular section by using the Fence (virtual wall) mode or by cleaning several sections one by one using the Guard (virtual door) mode.

• What is ceiling shape recognition

(Visionary mapping

This function recognizes the shape of

the ceiling using the camera on top to identify the area to be cleaned and determines the best way to pass over and clean every section of the ﬂoor.

DELICATE CLEANING OF EVERY CORNER

Since the robotic vacuum cleaner cleans the oor in a sequential way ( ) along the map

determined by the ceiling shape recognition function, it cleans every corner of the ﬂoor.

VARIOUS CLEANING MODES

Various cleaning modes are provided to meet all your needs.

5 6

About 1.5m

1. Auto Mode

Cleans all rooms automatically.

2. Spot Mode

Cleans a localized area intensely. It can be

used to clean bread or cookie crumbs.

3. Max Mode

Runs until the battery is nearly depleted.

4. Manual Mode

You can clean the ﬂoor manually by moving the robotic vacuum cleaner with a remote control.

5. Edge Mode

When the Obstacle Sensor detects an obstacle during the cleaning, the Robot Cleaner reduces

its speed to minimize the bumping impact and

the Bumper Sensor also helps it lower the bumping impact. And, it cleans the corners by reaching to them as close as possible.

6. Scheduled Cleaning Mode

At the specied time, the robotic vacuum

cleaner cleans the ﬂoor.
