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 has been damaged, do not operate
•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.

Before bObi’s first clean, you must install her battery. Make sure bObi’s power
switch is turned OFF.
After installing bObi’s battery, charge bObi for 8 hours before first use.
bObi will chirp, her lights will flash, and the center light will blink to indicate that
she is charging. The other lights will disappear.
Install bObi’s Battery Charge bObi
Remove the battery cover
using a Phillips head
screwdriver.
Plug the battery in at the
circuit junction. Tuck the
wire into the side of the
compartment and slide
the battery in.
Replace the cover and re-
tighten the screws.
1 2 3
Plug the charging adapter into the side
of the charging station. The station’s red
power light will turn on.
Place bObi on her charging station with
the metal nodes on her front resting
against the plates on her station.
1 2
The center light on bObi
will remain solid when
she is fully charged and
ready to clean.
18 19
Alternatively, you may charge bObi by plugging the charging adapter into the
inlet above her power switch.
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.
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 clean 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
2 ft (0.5 m)
2 ft (0.5 m)
10 ft (3 m)
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.
To sync the charging station:
Auto Charging
Flip bObi’s power switch
OFF.
Plug the adapter into the
charging station.
Use the syncing tool that
came in bObi’s box to
press the sync button on
the back of the station.
1 2 3
27
While still pressing the sync button, flip
bObi’s power switch ON.
Direct bObi to her charging station at any
time by pressing the JUICE button on her
cover or remote.
bObi will chirp twice to let you know the
sync was successful.
4 5
To prolong bObi’s battery
life, ip her power switch
OFF when not in use.
Using the charging station:
•Place bObi on her charging station with the metal nodes on her front
resting against the plates on her station.
Using the adapter:
•Plug the charging adapter directly into the inlet above bObi’s power switch.
Manual Charging
blOck™
30
If you need to keep certain areas out of bObi’s reach, you can use blOck™to
create a digital barrier that bObi will not cross. blOck™ runs on 4 AA batteries
(not included).
A digital barrier is emitted from the front of blOck™. There are two buttons on
the back of blOck™:
1Power Button
2Sync Button
To set up digital barriers with blOck™:
Press the power button. The red power light on the front of blOck™ will turn on,
stay on for 10 seconds, and then slowly blink every 3 seconds.
When blOck™ is low on battery, the power light flashes more quickly than
usual to indicate that it needs new batteries. To conserve battery, switch
blOck™ OFF when not in use.
blOck™
blOck™ remains ON for 3
hours before automatically
turning OFF to conserve
battery.
1 2
32 33
To conserve battery,
it is recommended to
turn blOck™ OFF after
each use.
To turn blOck™ OFF:
Press the power button again. The red power light on the front of blOck™ will
disappear.
If bObi does not respond to her blOck™, blOck™ likely needs to be synced.
To sync blOck™:
Switch both bObi and blOck™ OFF.
The power light on the front of blOck™ will
turn on, stay still for 10 seconds, and then
slowly blink every 3 seconds.
Press the power button on the back of
block™.

34 35
While holding down blOck™’s sync
button, flip bObi’s power switch ON.
bObi will chirp twice to let you know the
sync was successful.
3 4
blOck™ emits its digital barrier from the front. The front of blOck™ is the side
where the red power light is.
Position blOck™ with its front facing the direction you would like to create
a barrier. For example, see the image below where blOck™ is placed at the
opening of a doorway.
blOck™ Placement
blOck™ creates a barrier measuring
about 10 ft. The barrier’s signal gradually
weakens at the far end.
You can sync multiple
blOcks™ with bObi.
Remote Control
38 39
The remote control is your most useful tool when communicating with bObi. It
allows you to set bObi’s cleaning schedule and activate her cleaning modes.
Each time you select an action on the remote, bObi will chirp once before per-
forming the selected action.
