[email protected] or 1-888-549-8847.

Important Safety
Instructions
With the exception of the mopping
cloth, do not immerse any part of
bObi into water or other liquids.
Do not mutilate or incinerate the
battery, as it will explode at high
temperatures.
Do not use bObi outdoors.
Do not expose bObi, her
charging station, or remote to
temperatures higher than 113° F
(45° C), moisture, or humidity.
Flip bObi’s power switch OFF and unplug her from the
outlet when she is not in use and before conducting
maintenance.
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.
Leaks from the battery cells can occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid gets on
the skin, wash quickly with water. If the liquid gets
into the eyes, ush them immediately with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes, and seek medical
attention.
bObi is composed of electronic components that in
rare and unintended cases can cause hazards of
heating, re, and other malfunctions. Furthermore,
because bObi is capable of autonomous movement,
her use poses the risk of collision with property, pets,
and persons. Unintended removal of articles — such
as small valuables, jewelry, or hair of persons or pets
lying on the oor — may also occur.
If bObi, her remote control, or her charging station
has been damaged in any way, do not operate
them. Contact our helpful support team at
[email protected] or or 1-888-549-8847.
Do not dispose of your battery
in re. Old batteries should be
recycled safely through your
local recycler.
Do not let bObi pick up
anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
Do not handle bObi, her remote,
or her charging station with wet
hands; use only on dry surfaces.
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 attempt to open the
charging station. Repairs on the
station should only be carried out
by our qualied technicians.

Who is bObi?
bObi is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner, at your service! She can vacuum, sweep, and
mop all the same time — and at the end of her cleaning session, she automatically returns to her
charging station for a power nap. Set bObi to clean on a schedule and she’ll clean on her own
even when you’re not around.
How does bObi nd her way around?
bObi doesn’t store any data about your home; instead, she uses a network of reactionary sensors
to detect obstacles. To maximize her coverage, she may spiral outward, zigzag across a small
area, or follow along walls. If she seems to be ignoring some spaces or spending too much time
on others, don’t worry! bObi will efciently clean your home over the course of a full cycle — just
check her dustbin for the evidence!
Should I pick up bObi?
You may pick up bObi while she’s cleaning, but it’s best to let her work in her own way. Moving
her around, manipulating her movements, or picking her up may confuse her and disrupt her
cycle.
Quick Start
Getting Started
Get to Know bObi
FullCommand™ Remote
If you wish to control bObi’s movements manually, you may use the
navigational buttons on her remote.
blOck™
You can keep bObi away from obstacles that she nds difcult to
navigate, such as areas with cords or high ledges, by using blOck*.
Charging Station
bObi automatically returns to her charging station when low on battery. If
bObi is having trouble nding her station, try re-syncing it and relocating
it to a more easily accessible location with more space around it.
Mop Attachment
bObi may have a tough time climbing over elevated surfaces while
mopping. Remove bObi’s mop when she is not cleaning smooth
surfaces. Do not let her climb onto carpet or rugs when mopping.
* Available to purchase separately.

Unique Furniture
bObi is designed to maneuver
around furniture of most
shapes and sizes, but she
may nd it difcult to clean
under chairs with narrow legs
or around furniture that is too
low for her sensors to detect.
Specialty furniture, such as
desk chairs with wheels or
stools with circular bases,
may also confuse her — but
don’t worry, bObi usually
nds her way around with
time.
Easy Fix
Use blOck*, bObi’s add-on
accessory, to keep bObi
away from areas she finds
particularly challenging.
blOck emits a digital
barriers that bObi won’t
cross.
Quick Start
Getting Started
Get to Know bObi
Dark-Colored
Carpet
If bObi repeatedly backs up
or displays an error message
while cleaning dark carpet,
then you’ll need to deactivate
the edge sensors. To do so,
simply use bObi’s blindfold
stickers to cover her edge
sensors. Just remember that
while bObi’s edge sensors
are deactivated, she will not
be able to detect edges or
stairs!
Shag Carpet
bObi’s main and side brushes
are not designed to clean shag
carpet or rugs with long bers.
If you’d like bObi to clean shag
carpet or long-bered rugs,
you may remove her main and
side brushes and allow her to
vacuum without it.
Inclines
Sometimes bObi will attempt
to drive up angled surfaces,
get stuck for a few minutes,
and then decide to clean
somewhere else. As long
as bObi does not stop and
display an error message on
her remote’s screen, let her
continue cleaning and nd
her own way around. Take
note of the areas bObi nds
the most challenging and, if
possible, adjust your furniture
accordingly.
