Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of bObi — with the exception of her
mopping cloth — into water or other liquids. bObi’s dustbin may be washed with water only once
her motor has been removed.
• Turn bObi OFF and unplug her from outlet when she is not in use and before conducting
maintenance.
•If bObi, her remote control, charging station, or blOck (not included) has been damaged, do
•Do not handle bObi, her remote control, blOck (not included), or her charging station with wet
hands; use only on dry surfaces.
•Do not use bObi outdoors.
•bObi is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless under the close supervision of a
person responsible for their safety.
•Do not pull or carry the charging station by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door
on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep the cord away from heated
surfaces. To unplug the cord grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not mutilate or incinerate the battery, as it will explode at high temperatures.
•Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid
gets on skin, wash quickly with water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes, and seek medical attention.
•Do not dispose of your battery in fire. Old batteries should be recycled safely (check with your
local recycler).
•Do not attempt to open the charging station. Repairs on the station should only be carried out
by our qualified customer care center.
•Do not expose bObi, her remote control, or charging station to temperatures higher than 113° F
(45° C), moisture, or humidity.
•Do not let bObi pick up toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
• Do not let bObi pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes. Do not use bObi to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, nor
use her in areas where they may be present.
• Do not use bObi in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint
thinner, moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
• bObi is composed of electronic components that in rare and unintended cases can cause
hazards of heating, fire, and other malfunctions. Furthermore, because bObi is capable of
and intended for autonomous movement and cleaning, her use poses the risk of collision with
property, pets, and persons and unintended removal of articles, such as small valuables,
jewelry, or hair of persons or pets lying on the floor, among others.
•Do not look directly into the UV light.
•Do not use bObi for other than intended usage.

bObi is now ready to clean!
Flip her power switch ON, and press the GO! button on her cover or remote.
bObi will clean on her default setting.
If bObi is left idle with her power switch ON, her screen will go blank and she
will enter standby mode. To wake bObi, tap her touchscreen. To fully power off
bObi, flip her power switch OFF.
bObi’s First Clean
Clear the area of small
items and cords before
asking bObi to clean.
Alternatively, you may charge bObi by plugging the charging adapter into the
inlet above her power switch.
20 21
There are three touchscreen buttons on bObi: GO!, JUICE, and WAFFLE.
These buttons do not work while bObi is on her charging station. To use these
buttons, you must first remove bObi from her charging station.
Alternatively, you can use bObi’s remote to select her cleaning modes without
needing to remove her from her charging station.
Touchscreen Buttons
GO!
GO! is bObi’s default cleaning mode. bObi will clean a large area until her
battery reaches 15% capacity, and then she will return to her charging station.
JUICE
JUICE tells bObi to return to her charging station. bObi will not vacuum while
in JUICE mode.
WAFFLE
WAFFLE can be used to clean up small spills of dry substances. bObi will clean
an area of 10 square feet (1 square meter) for about 1 – 3 minutes before she
stops and enters standby mode.
Charging Station
25
•Position bObi’s charging station against a wall on a hard, flat surface.
•Make sure that there is at least 10 feet (3 m) of open space in front of the
charging station and 2 feet (0.5 m) on either side of the station.
Secure bObi’s charging adapter behind her station so the cord does not
get in her way while she is cleaning.
Charging Station Placement
bObi automatically searches for her charging station when her battery reaches
15% capacity. She will chirp, stop vacuuming, and display JUICE on her cover
while searching. When bObi detects her charging station, she will line herself
up, dock, and begin to charge.
If bObi has trouble finding her station, you likely need to sync the station.

bObi’s remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included). Do not leave
the batteries in the remote if you are not using it on a regular basis. Keep the
remote at room temperature. If bObi is not responding to her remote, it likely
needs to be synced.
To sync bObi’s remote:
Using the navigational arrows:
Hold down the remote’s navigational buttons to keep bObi moving in the desired
direction. Release the button when you are done manually driving bObi.
bObi’s edge sensors are located along her front, not along her back. Do not
reverse bObi towards edges, as she will fall.
Syncing bObi with her Remote
Flip bObi’s power switch
OFF.
While holding down the
OK button on bObi’s re-
mote, flip bObi’s power
switch ON.
