[Infrared Signal Priority]
The infrared signal transmission may not be •
CAUTION
smooth in locations exposed to halogen lamps or
in outdoor locations.
Vacuum cleaning robot uses 3 types of infrared •
devices and a device may not work in front of
another device with a higher priority.
When controlling the vacuum cleaning robot •
with the remote control, the vacuum cleaning
robot 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 vacuum cleaning robot 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 more than one vacuum cleaning robot is used simultaneously, they may malfunction due to •
interference of the infrared signals.
