5. Never immerse appliance, docking station or AC adapter in water or other uids. Keep these components away
from rain and moisture.
6. If you want to unplug the AC adapter from the socket, always pull directly on the plug. Never pull or carry
the AC adapter via its power cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges
or corners as this can damage the cord and can increase the risk of re or electric shock. Do not abuse the
power cord.
7. Ensure that the AC adapter’s power cord is not bent, pinched, rolled over and that it does not come into contact
with heat sources.
8. Only charge the appliance if the voltage indicated on the AC adapter matches the voltage of your socket.
9. Only use the AC adapter and docking station supplied with the appliance to charge the robotic cleaner.
10. Always check the AC adapter’s power cord for possible damage before using it. To avoid damage do not wrap
the cord around the charger for storage. Do not use an AC adapter with a damaged cord or plug. A damaged
or entangled charger cord can increase the risk of re and electric shock.

Positioning the docking station
1. 2. 3.
1. If possible, choose a location where there is no carpet. The rubber feet will adhere better to a level surface.
2. Position the docking station in close proximity to a mains socket.
3. Position the docking station against a wall or a piece of furniture so it will not be moved by the robot.
4. Make sure that there is a space of at least 1 m x 1 m in front of and next to the docking station (Fig. 1).
5. Now remove the 4 protective lms from the rubber feet underneath the docking station (Fig. 2) and position
it in a stable manner.
CAUTION: Rubber may cause unwanted stains or discolouring on certain surfaces such as wood. Check the
oor manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid damage.
6. Have the AC adapter cable placed behind the station (Fig. 3) so that it does not obstruct the robot’s ability to dock.
NOTE: Also remember not to locate the virtual wall near the docking station. Otherwise your robot may
be obstructed from docking to the station.
