Preventing the Robotic Cleaner from falling
• Ifthecleaningareacontainsaightofstairsorother
section where the Robotic Cleaner may fall down, in
order to keep the Robotic Cleaner out of the section,
placeobjectswithaheightof15cm(5-7/8")ortaller
and that are heavy enough to withstand the impact
of the Robotic Cleaner in front of the section.
• Block sunlight and infrared rays with curtains. (The
Robotic Cleaner may fall to a lower level when
backing up to avoid sunlight or infrared rays.)
• Close aluminum sash doors. (The Robotic Cleaner
may not detect the difference in level between the
aluminumsashrailandtheoorandmayfalloutof
the door.)
• Moveanyoorcoveringsneardifferencesinlevelto
another room. (The Robotic Cleaner may not detect
the difference and may fall.)
NOTE
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner near or to vacuum
upammablesubstances.(Itmayresultinexplosion
orre.)

up water. (This may result in electric shock, short-
circuit,re,deformationormalfunction.)
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in locations where
the distance from the wall to a difference in level
is approx. 1 m (3.3 ft.) or less. (In rare cases the
Robotic Cleaner may fall while backing up.)
• Do not use the Robotic Cleaner in areas where
barriers that the Robotic Cleaner cannot climb over
are located in the vicinities of walls or obstacles.
The Robotic Cleaner may get stuck on the barrier
while moving backward to avoid the wall or the
obstacle.
• Deactivate any home security systems, etc. (The
Robotic Cleaner may be mistakenly detected as an
intruder.)
• The Robotic Cleaner may not avoid differences in
level of 5.5 cm (2-3/16") or less.
• Noise may appear on TV screens during operation.
(This is not a malfunction of the television.)
• Do not leave the Robotic Cleaner for long periods
with the battery cartridge installed. (The battery
electrolyte may leak.)
• Do not turn the Robotic Cleaner upside down with
the battery cartridge installed. (Abutton may be
pressed, resulting in unintended operation.)

OPERATION
TheRoboticCleanercruisesaroundontheoor
according to the preset cruising mode, avoiding
obstacles using ultrasonic sensors (Fig. P-1), and
captures dust and dirt and other debris on the route
using the side brushes, main brush, and vacuum fan.
However, the sensors may not detect an obstacle
in some situations. If your Robotic Cleaner hits an
obstacle, the Robotic Cleaner’s bumper (Fig. P-2)
absorbs impact and changes the direction of travel.
NOTE: There may be cases where the Robotic
Cleaner could not pass over the barriers at the height
of up to 1.5 cm (9/16"), even though the Robotic
Cleaner is designed to pass over such barriers.
NOTE: The Robotic Cleaner may avoid an area
where is colored in black, having black wood-grain
patterns, or an area made of glass.
NOTE:After a cleaning cycle is completed, some dust
and dirt may remain under certain conditions.
NOTE: Wireless communication may be interrupted
or blocked under the following conditions:
• Inside structures built with reinforced concrete or
metallic building materials
• When the Robotic Cleaner is behind an obstacle
• Near radio communication equipment that uses
the same frequency band
• Neardevicesthatgenerateelectromagneticelds
