Install Charging Base
1. Connect power cable and fold the excess wire into the wire slot
2. Place charging base against the wall and connect to a power supply. Ensure to
leave space more than 0.5m on both sides of the charging base and more than
1.5m in the front.
3. The charging indicator is on when powered on and is off when charged.
INSTALLATION
Note: If the power cable is vertical to the ground, it may be dragged by the
robot. Consequently, the charging base may be powered off.

4. Keep the charging base out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will interfere with
recharging signal. Consequently, the robot may be unable to return to the charging
base.
5. Do not move the charging base arbitrarily. If the charging base is relocated, the
robot may lose the map to the charging base and fail to return to the base. When
restarted, the robot will rebuild and memorize the map. The rebuilt map may not
contain the cleaning information of previously memorised areas.
Install Side Brush
1. Align the left side brush with the mark L on the bottom casing of the robot. Align
the right-side brush with the mark R on the bottom casing of the robot.
2. Insert the brushes into the bottom casing. Press L and R on the brushes until you
hear a cracking sound.

Install Mopping Module
Step 1: Paste the Mopping Cloth.
•Paste the mopping cloth flatly on the bottom of the 2-in-1 Electric Controlled
Water Tank.
Step 2: Fill the water tank.
•Remove the dustbin before filling water.
•Remove the cover and fill with water.
Note:Ensure to clean the mopping cloth after every use.

Step 3: Install the mopping module.
•Replace the dustbin into the water tank and place the handle in the slot.
•Press and hold the button in the middle of the tank. Push the tank horizontally
along the rear part of the robot as shown in the image. You will hear a “click”
sound.
Tips
•To achieve a better mopping effect, the mopping module should be installed after
the floor is swept for three times.
•Mopping function of the robot is intended for wiping and deep cleaning. It may not
remove stubborn stain.
•Do not mop the carpet. Set a restricted area in app to prevent the robot from
entering the carpet. See the Operation section of this user guide for guidelines.

Note: You cannot shut down the robot when it is charging.

Recommendations:
•Do not move the robot casually or frequently when it is cleaning. If it is required to
move the robot, ensure to put the robot back in the original position.
•When the robot starts again, it will try to reposition itself. After successful
repositioning, it will follow the planned path and continue to work.
•If the repositioning fails, the robot will abort the previous mission, create a new
map, and do the cleaning again. After creating a new map, it may not find the
charging base.
Spot Cleaning
When an area needs a deep cleaning, you can specify that point on the map on the app.
The robot will automatically drive to the vicinity of the point and take that point as the centre
to clean within 1.5m x 1.5m.
