Connect the power adapter and wrap any surplus cable onto the cable organising posts in
the wiring duct.
Place the charging base against the wall on a flat surface and connect the power.
Note:
•Ensure a space of at least 0.5m on both sides of the charging base and a space of
at least 1.5m in front.
•If the power cord is in a spot that may interfere with the operation of the vacuum, it
may be dragged by the vacuum, causing the charging base to lose power.
•The charging indicator is normally on when powered on and off when charged.
INSTALLATION

Avoid keeping the charging base in a location that will receive an excess of direct sunlight.
Note:
•If the charging base is relocated, the vacuum may lose its position and the map will
be lost. When the vacuum is restarted, the vacuum will rebuild the map. The new
map may lose data about out-of-limit areas.
•Direct sunlight will interfere with the recharging signal and consequently, the
vacuum may be unable to return to the charging base.
Installation of the Side Brush
Match the left side brush ‘L’ and the right side brush ‘R’ with the ‘L’ and ‘R’ symbols on the
bottom casing. Press both brushes into their corresponding positions until you hear a click.

Start-up and Charge
Press and hold the “Power” button to start the robot. Charge the vacuum on the charging
base, and the indicator light will illuminate.
Note: If the device does not start due to low battery, manually move the robot and charge
the vacuum on the charging base for some time. The robot will only work normally when the
battery level is reaches 30%.
Cleaning
After the machine has charged, press the “Power” button on the vacuum, or use the mobile
app. Press any button to pause when in use.
Note:
•The robot cannot be used to remove liquids.
•If the battery level is less than 20%, the vacuum will not work. Please charge it.
•The machine will return to the charging base automatically if the battery level is
less than 20% when in use. The robot will power on and start cleaning
automatically after the battery level reaches 80%.
•Clear any cables, including the power cable, from the ground before use to avoid
damage or injuries.

OPERATION
Power Button
Home Button

Charging
•Automatic mode: The vacuum will return to the charging base automatically after
it is finished.
•Manual mode: Press the “Home” button to start charging. The indicator will
illuminate and slowly flash.
Fixed-Point Cleaning
•If a specific area requires deep cleaning, and you select a point on the map in the
app, the robot will move near to the area automatically and sweep the floor in a 2m
square. By default, it will clean the area twice, but the number of times can be set
in the app.
Note: The robot cannot shut down when it is being charged.
Note: If the vacuum fails to locate the charging base, it will return to its original position
automatically. Please put the vacuum back to the charging base manually.

Cleaning Mode
•After the robot starts, it will scan and generate a map and divide it into areas
automatically. The robot vacuum will vacuum areas one-by-one in an efficient
pattern. The machine will return to the charging base automatically after it is
finished, or if it is low in battery.
Do not move the machine during use. If the machine is moved, please put it back in the
position it was in and it will attempt to reposition itself when it restarts. If it is relocated
successfully, the vacuum will continue working according to the planned route. If it is not
successfully relocated, the robot will rebuild the map, but may not be able to be charged
without manual intervention.
Spot Cleaning
As an alternative to using the app, you can manually move the robot to an area for spot
cleaning. To activate spot cleaning press and hold the “Home” button for 3 seconds and the
robot will vacuum the floor twice in a 1.5 x 1.5m area.

Set Cleaning Area
•In the app, you can set the size and location of one or more areas to be vacuumed.
The robot will vacuum the set area twice by default, but this number can be
changed within the app.
Out-of-Bounds Area
•The app can be used to set one or more out-of-bounds areas. The robot vacuum
will not attempt to enter these areas. These areas can also be made permanent so
that the robot will never attempt to enter these areas during normal operation.
Note:
•Do not rely on set out-of-bounds areas to prevent damage or danger. On rare
occasion, the vacuum may enter these areas if it is moved during use, or if there is a
sensor or positioning error. Any areas that could be dangerous for the robot to go
should be blocked off as a precaution.
•Permanently forbidden areas may be lost if the robots base, or the surrounding
furniture, is moved during use. Please try not to move or interfere with the machine
during use.
•Permanently out-of-bounds areas will be lost if the map is rebuilt.
