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 into water or
other liquids. bObi’s dustbin may be washed with water only once her motor has
been removed.
Turn bObi OFF when she is not in use and before conducting maintenance.
If bObi, her remote control, or her charging station has been damaged, do not op-
erate 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, or her charging station with wet hands; use
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 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. Do not unplug the cord by pulling on it. To unplug the
cord grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not mutilate or incinerate the battery, as it will explode at high temperatures.
Do not attempt to open the charging station. Repairs on the charging station should
only be carried out by our qualied customer care center.
Do not expose bObi, her remote control, or charging station to temperatures higher
than 45° C (113° F) or 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 and unintended cases can
cause hazards of heating, re, and 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 others.
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.
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

Installing the 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 screwdriver,
remove the screws
on the battery cover. 2
Remove the battery
cover. Remove bO-
bi’s battery from the
packaging. 3
Check which way
the connectors go
on both the battery
and its compartment.

Turning bObi ON/OFF
bObi’s power switch is located on her side. Use this switch to turn bObi ON or OFF.
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 stand-by 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:
JUICE, WAFFLE, and GO!
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 using her re-
mote control, and then press the
buttons on top of bObi while she
is on the oor.
GO!
The GO! button activates bObi’s default cleaning mode. In this mode she will use her
programmed algorithm to clean the oor. To use this mode, simply touch the GO!
button found on top of bObi or click the GO! button on her remote.
WAFFLE
Wae cleaning mode can be used to clean up small spills of dry substances. In
Wae cleaning 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.
Wae cleaning mode can be used to clean up small spills of dry substances. 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
Pressing the JUICE button makes bObi 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 vacuuming 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.
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 and you
need to sync up 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 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 the charging station has been
synchronized.
8. If you do not hear the chirps, turn bObi and the charging station OFF, dis-
connect 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 juices up for
12 hours 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 or-
ange LED light on her cover. The charging station’s red nightlight also ashes
slowly.
4. When bObi is done juicing (approximately 4-5 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 the charging station,
she will move her way 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).
If bObi’s battery drains fully before recharging, she will not be able to recharge on
her charging station. Charge her manually by plugging her directly into the adapter.
