Safety Precautions
Please adhere strictly to the following warnings:
Do not operate the Dolphin Wave Robot Pool Cleaner when
there are people in the swimming pool.
When examining the Dolphin Wave Robot Pool Cleaner,
disconnect the main power supply.
Please ensure that the following precautions are implemented:
Only a trained operator should operate the Dolphin Wave Robot
Pool Cleaner.
Operator should keep hands away from driving belt mechanism
The Dolphin Wave Robot Pool Cleaner should not be operated
out of the pool at distance of more than 3 meters from pool's
edge.
Keep the Dolphin Wave Robot Pool Cleaner out of the reach of
children.
Only an original power cable must be used, at all times. Replaced
by a Dolphin Wave Robot Pool Cleaner certified technician, in
case of need.

to prevent back injury.
General Notes
•In this user manual, the instruction press "Start" is performed by pressing

Introduction
This user guide describes how to use your MMI operating console for the
Dolphin Wave robotic pool cleaner. The interactive, state of the art MMI
control console enables full control of the robot and allows you to determine
the cycle time, operation delay, and cleaning scan that the robot performs. It
also enables diagnosis of various technical functions and parameters. The
console houses a remote control unit for manual operation and temporarily
overriding automatic cleaning operations.
The Dolphin Wave is designed to handle four different swimming pool
configurations and when these are set, the pool configurations are stored in the
MMI's memory. The robot is preset in the factory with specific default pool
settings, which can be reset. Please refer to the first Main Menu screen,
Figure 7 and Customized Settings, SDJH.

Starting Cleaning Operations
Once all the customized settings have been configured, you can proceed to a
cleaning session:
1. Prepare the Dolphin Wave for operation and immersion into the pool.
2. Proceed as in Everyday Operation, page 5.
If a Delay Time has been set (see Configuring the Dolphin Wave, above), the
countdown commences and the time remaining before automatic cleaning
starts is displayed on the screen.
If no delay time is specified, the robot commences cleaning immediately.
Once cleaning operations have started, the MMI screen displays the
countdown time as in Figure 5, above.
To override the delay time and commence cleaning immediately, press
Start. The robot starts working immediately.
Manual Direction Setup
After the cleaning cycle has started, you might find it necessary to set the
robot's direction more precisely.
This can be performed in 2 ways:
a) Using Direction Setup – from pool profile. Press start and go through
similar procedure as described in Starting the First Cleaning Session, line No.
5, page 4.
b) Using the Direction Setup procedure while the robot is in the pool, as
described below.
Direction Setup:
1. From the Countdown screen press Stop. (If the robot is during cleaning
cycle)
If the screensaver is displayed, press POOL and then HOME to unlock
the MMI.
2. Navigate to the Pool Profile screen and select Direction Setup and
then Fine Tuning.
3. Press Start. The robot starts moving along the width of the pool.

14
4. From the MMI, press "+" or "-" to correct the robot's direction until it
moves exactly along the width of the pool.
"+" = clockwise direction
"-" = counter clockwise direction
5. Once the desired width direction is achieved, press Next.
6. The Robot will turn 90 degrees to the left and move along the length of
the pool.
7. Next, fine tune along the pool's length using "+" or "-", as in step 2
until the robot moves along the pool's length.
8. Once the desired direction is reached, press Next to confirm the end of
the fine tuning procedure.
9. Press HOME to return to the Wave screen and then press Start to
continue the cleaning session.
Operating Guidelines
•A large-sized swimming pool of approximately 300 square meters requires
approximately 2–3 hours cleaning time. This is the default setting.
•An Olympic size pool of 1,250 square meters requires approximately 5
hours cleaning time. This is the default setting.
Maintenance
1. Clean and replace filter as needed. When the MMI displays "Filter Bag
Full", you should clean/replace the bag before the next operating cycle.
It is not necessary to stop the Wave in the middle of the cycle when
"Filter Full" indication appears. Clean the filter before the next
cycle.
Non-disposable filter bags can be cleaned in a washing machine.
Under normal working conditions, disposable bags may be used for
about 3 cleaning cycles.
2. Before each operating cycle, clean the robot body, brushes, and driving
belt area and remove foreign objects, rubber bands, hair etc.
3. Once a week clean impeller area:
•Remove the impeller cover securing screw using a No. 2 Philips screw
driver.
•Twist counter-clockwise and open the cylinder cover.
•Remove foreign objects from the impeller.
•Close the impeller cover and replace the securing screw.
4. Keep the electrical cable orderly enabling it to be rolled up easily and
placed on the caddy's handle.
Important: Every two or three cleaning sessions, disconnect the main

15
power supply, unroll the entire cable and re-arrange it on the caddy
handle as required.
5. Preventive Maintenance (PM): should be performed on the Wave robot
pool cleaner, in order to keep it in good and long lasting working
condition. MAYTRONICS provides the parts required – as a dedicated PM
kit. The work and the service will be provided through the dealer. PM
service should be performed every 1,500 working hours or 1 year (the
earlier of the two).
6. A warning message to perform PM will appear on the MMI screen, when
applicable. It is obligatory that PM service will be performed. Please
contact your dealer. Failure to perform the PM service will void the
warranty.
Remote Control Unit
The remote control unit (RCU) is located on the MMI console and held in
position by a magnet. Pull it upwards gently to remove it from its base. When
the robot is in automatic operation, use the remote control to override the
robot’s programmed direction settings.
When the robot is moving in a forward direction, the floating cable
follows the robot from its tail end.
The remote unit has a control range of 50 meters from the Caddy.

6. To deactivate the remote unit, press and hold down the touch pad. The
activation lights switch off.
The robot reverts to its programmed direction mode of cleaning after
the manual correction.
The remote unit deactivates automatically after approximately 3 minutes
and the indicator lights switch off.
Maintaining the remote unit:
The remote control unit is powered by two AAA batteries. It is splash-proof
and should not be immersed in water.
To replace the batteries, remove the four back-cover securing screws and
replace all the batteries with new battery cells.
