Important Safety Instructions
Basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of bObi in water or
other liquids. bObi’s dustbin may be washed with water only after her vacuum motor
has been removed.
Turn bObi OFF when she is not in use and before conducting maintenance.
If bObi, her remote control, her blOck, or her charging station has been damaged,
do not operate them. Contact our customer care center.
If bObi is not working as she should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or immersed in water, contact our customer care center.
Do not handle bObi, her remote control, her blOck, or her charging station with wet
hands. Use bObi and her accessories only on dry surfaces.
bObi is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Do not mutilate or incinerate the battery, as it will explode at high temperatures.
Do not expose bObi, her remote control, her blOck, or charging station to tem-
peratures higher than 45° C (113° F) or to moisture or humidity. Do not use bObi
outdoors.
Do not let bObi pick up toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner,
etc.).
bObi is composed of electronic components that in rare or unintended cases can
cause hazards of heating, re, or other malfunctions. Furthermore, because bObi is
capable of and intended for autonomous movement and cleaning, its 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 oor, among
other objects.
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 ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, nor
use her in areas where they may be present.
Do not use bObi in an enclosed space lled with vapors given o by oil-based paint,
paint thinner, moth-proong substances, ammable dust, or other explosive or toxic
vapors.
bObi’s remote, blOck and charging station are composed of electronic components
that in rare or unintended cases can cause hazards of heating, re, or other mal-
functions.
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,
ush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical
attention immediately.
Do not dispose of your battery in re. Old batteries should be recycled safely (check
with your local recycler).
Do not look directly into the UV light.
Do not use bObi for other than intended usage.

Get bObi Ready for Cleaning

Battery
When bObi rst arrives, her battery is not installed. To install bObi’s battery, place
bObi on a at surface and set her power switch to OFF.
1
Using the provided
Phillips head
screwdriver, remove the
screws on the battery cover. 2
Remove the battery
cover. Connect
bObi’s battery to the
circuit junction. 3
Tuck the wire into the
side of the battery
compartment and
slide the battery into bObi.

Turning bObi ON/OFF
bObi’s power switch is located on her side. Use this switch to turn bObi ON or OFF.
Standby Mode
If bObi is not cleaning and the power switch is left ON, she enters standby mode,
which uses a small amount of battery. When in standby mode, bObi beeps every
few minutes to remind you to charge her or to turn her OFF. Remember to turn the
power switch OFF when you are not using bObi to conserve her battery life.

Working Modes
There are three touch buttons on
top of bObi:
GO!, JUICE, and WAFFLE
These buttons will not work while
bObi is on her charging station.
To use these buttons, you must
rst move bObi from her charging
station manually or by using her
remote control.
GO!
The GO! button activates bObi’s default cleaning mode. In this mode, she will use
her programmed algorithm to mop, sweep, and vacuum the oor. To use this mode,
simply press the GO! button on top of bObi or on her remote.
WAFFLE
Wae cleaning mode can be used to clean up small spills of dry substances. In this
mode, bObi will clean an area of approximately 10 square feet (1 square meter) for
about 3 minutes before she stops and enters standby mode.
To have bObi clean a small area, press the WAFFLE button on bObi’s cover or on
her remote.
Clear away clutter and cords before letting bObi clean a room.

JUICE
The JUICE button tells bObi to stop cleaning and start searching for her charging
station. When she detects her charging station, she will dock herself and start juicing.
bObi’s main brush and vacuum motor do not work while in Juice mode.
bObi enters Juice mode automatically when her battery level falls below 15%.

Charging Station
Setting up bObi’s charging station
Position bObi’s charging station against
a wall on a hard at surface. Make
sure that there is at least 10 feet (3
meters) of open space in front of the
charging station and 2 feet (0.5 me-
ters) on either side of the station.
Plug the adapter into the charging
station. The nightlight on top of
the charging station will turn on.
The Sync button is located
on the back of the charging
station
10ft
(3m)
2ft (0.5m) 2ft (0.5m)

bObi can accidentally run over her adapter cord and get it tangled in her brush. Help
bObi avoid this by hiding the cord behind her station and securing it between the
charging station and the wall.
Syncing bObi with her charging station
If bObi can’t nd her charging station, the station and bObi are out of sync. To
synchronize their coding, follow these steps:
1. Bring bObi close to her charging station.
2. Disconnect the charging station from the adapter.
3. Set the power switch on bObi’s side to OFF.
4. Plug the adapter into the charging station.
5. Use the syncing tool to press and hold the sync button on the back of the
charging station.
6. While holding down the sync button, set bObi’s power switch to ON.
7. bObi will emit a series of chirps to indicate her charging station has been
synchronized.
8. If bObi remains silent, turn bObi and her charging station OFF, disconnect the
station from the adapter, and wait a few minutes before repeating the process
(restart from step 1).

Charging bObi
bObi is powered by a rechargeable battery. She will perform best if she fully charges
prior to her rst cleaning mission.
Manual charging using the charging station
1. Turn bObi ON and place her directly onto her plugged-in charging station.
2. Make sure bObi’s charging electrodes (on her front) make full contact with the
station’s electrodes.
3. To indicate that she is successfully connected, bObi ashes the middle orange
LED light on her cover. The charging station’s nightlight also ashes slowly.
4. When bObi is done juicing (approximately 4 to 5 hours), the ashing light on
her cover becomes solid and the charging station’s nightlight ashes faster.
Manual charging using the adapter
While bObi is OFF, plug her charging adapter directly into her side. The power inlet
is next to bObi’s ON/OFF switch. bObi will chirp, ash her cover lights, then chirp
again to let you know that she’s connected. Her center LED light will blink orange to
indicate that she is charging and turn solid orange when she’s fully juiced.
Automatic charging
bObi will automatically start searching for her charging station when her battery falls
below 15%. She will emit a series of chirps, stop her vacuum motor to preserve

energy, and light up the JUICE button on her cover. She will move around, make full
circles, and communicate with her station. When bObi detects her charging station,
she will move towards it, dock, and begin to charge.
You will know bObi is fully charged when the middle LED light on her cover stops
blinking and turns solid.
If bObi cannot nd her charging station, she will continue searching until her battery
runs out, at which point you can manually pick her up and connect her to her station
(see ‘Manual charging using the charging station’).

blOck
You can use bObi blOck to customize bObi’s cleaning zone by creating an invisible
boundary line that bObi will not cross. The barrier that blOck creates can help you
section o a room, protect delicate rugs, and keep bObi clear of fragile items in your
home.
blOck needs 4 AA batteries (not included). There are two buttons on the back of the
blOck. The ON/OFF button and the sync button.
Turning the blOck ON
1. Place batteries in the blOck.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the back of blOck. The power light inside blOck
turns on, stays still for 10 seconds, and then blinks every 3 secs. This indicates
that blOck is ready to be used.
3. bObi blOck will automatically go into standby after 3 hours of use and must
be turned ON each time it is needed.
4. When battery levels are low, blOck ashes more quickly than normal to indi-
cate that it needs new batteries. To save on batteries, switch it OFF.
