Prepare Before Cleaning
About carrying the robotic cleaner
CAUTION
When you carry the robotic cleaner, stop the operation, then turn the
power off, and then hold the carrying handle firmly so as not to get your
hand caught.
• Not doing so can cause your hand to be caught in the handle.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times when lifting the robotic
cleaner.
• Not doing so can cause injury or failure.
Do not lift the robotic cleaner carelessly.
• Doing so can cause injury or failure.
Do not hold the robotic cleaner with its front facing downward.
• Dust can fall from the suction opening.
About cleaning by the robotic cleaner
•
The robotic cleaner detects obstacles by its LiDAR sensor and ultrasonic sensor
and runs while avoiding those obstacles. It collects and sucks dust with its side
brushes and main brush. It may fail to recognize an obstacle depending on the
conditions. When it hits an obstacle, the bumper detects the contact and avoid
the obstacle.
• The robotic cleaner can climb over a step of up to about 2.0 cm. If it is less
than 2.0 cm, however, the robotic cleaner sometimes fails to climb over it
depending on the conditions such as the shape of the step.
• On a slope or an uneven place, the undersurface of the robotic cleaner may
be caught and a drive wheel may be lifted, which causes the robotic cleaner
to stop due to an error. If the robotic cleaner stops often, do not allow it to
enter that place. (See page 20.)
• Where there is an obstacle near a wall, the robotic cleaner may run up onto
the wall while trying to avoid the obstacle.
• The LiDAR sensor may not be able to recognize obstacles with the following
characteristics, which may result in inaccurate mapping or bumping into
obstacles.
Highly reflective obstacles such as mirrors
Highly transparent obstacles such as glass
Obstacles made of black, glossy material
Slim obstacles such as the legs of a chair or desk
• When the robotic cleaner enters a narrow space lower than the height of the
robotic cleaner, it can get caught and stuck. In such a case, place a screen or
something.
1
1. Block a gap with a screen or something.
• A black floor, a transparent floor such as a glass floor, or black areas on the
grain of wood flooring may be determined to be a step by the robotic cleaner,
which then tries to avoid it.
• The robotic cleaner may not be able to suck dust in an area around astep
over which the robotic cleaner can climb, a secluded or narrow space that the
robotic cleaner cannot enter, or a place that the side brushes cannot reach.
• The robotic cleaner may kick away a small, hard object such as a small stone.
• The robotic cleaner may climb over astep accidentally if there is an object
which can help it climbing up (for example, aboard or carpet). Keep such
objects away from the steps.
CAUTION
Do not use the robotic cleaner in the following places.
•
Do not use the robotic cleaner on places such as a carpet with a pile height of
more than 7 mm, a rug with piles that fall out easily, and an uneven rug.
On such a rug, the robotic cleaner may stop operating, piles may be caught in
the side brushes, or the rug or the side brushes may be damaged. If the robotic
cleaner cannot run well on a rug other than described above, avoid use on that
rug.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner on a mattress, a blanket, a floor cushion,
etc.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner in a wet area, a toilet, a bathroom, an attic,
outdoors, etc.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner in a wet place, a place that may become
wet, or in a hot, humid place.
To prevent the robotic cleaner from falling
WARNING
Ensure that the robotic cleaner does not fall.
• If it falls, it may cause breakage or injury.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner in a mezzanine floor, a loft, a stairwell, a place
without walls, or a place with a slope of 10° or more.
• In aplace where an accident or other dangerous situation may occur due
to afall, place an object that has aheight of 25 cm or more and can serve
as awall (object that does not move or topple over when hit by the robotic
cleaner).
11 ENGLISH

1. Height of 25 cm or higher
• If dirt or water droplets due to condensation are formed on the cliff sensor on
the undersurface of the robotic cleaner, wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth, a
cotton swab, etc.

1. Cliff sensor (five places)
• The robotic cleaner may fail to operate properly when exposed to sunlight
or infrared light from other equipment. Ensure that the robotic cleaner is not
exposed to infrared light from ahalogen heater, aremote control, asensor,
and other equipment and sunlight coming from frosted glass, etc.
• If there is a carpet, a mat, a plate, or other object near a step, the cliff sensor
may fail to recognize it as a step. Move rugs and other objects near steps.
• In such a place that the distance from a wall to a step is less than about 1 m,
the robotic cleaner may fall while moving backward. Do not use the robotic
cleaner where the distance from a wall to a step is less than about 1 m.
1
1. Less than about 1 m
• Where there is adrain cover (grating cover), the cliff sensor may recognize
it as astep and the robotic cleaner may not be able to pass over it. If it is
necessary to pass over it, cover the grating with a plate or something.
• A step of about 3.0 cm or less may not be recognized as astep by the cliff
sensor, resulting in the robotic cleaner climbing down the step while going
straight. Where there is a step of from about 2.0 to 3.0 cm, refrain from using
the robotic cleaner.
• Shut any sliding doors, screens, or windows because the level difference of
their frames or rails may not be recognized as a step by the bumper sensors.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner on a breakable flooring surface such as glass.
Tidying up a place to clean
WARNING
Move objects that may cause damage or an accident when the robotic
cleaner comes into contact with them.
Put away objects that should not be sucked in, objects that hinder the
movement of the robotic cleaner, and objects that are likely to get caught
in the main brush, wheels, and side brushes.
• If you leave an object that will obstruct the movement of the robotic
cleaner during cleaning, it may cause an accident or injury.
• Do not use the robotic cleaner near objects that get hot, such as aheating
apparatus (space heater). Doing so can cause an accident, ignition, or failure.
(Do not use a heating apparatus during operation.)
• Do not use the robotic cleaner in a place equipped with a retractable outlet. A
retractable outlet should be always retracted.
12 ENGLISH
• For walls made of fragile material (e.g., amud wall, adecorated door or
sliding door, or a folding screen), place objects that serve as a wall in front of
them so that they will not be damaged.
• Unstable objects and objects that fall down easily should be moved to another
room.
• Move equipment and devices with acontroller located on the same level as
the robotic cleaner.
• Put away burning candles and easily breakable objects.
• For objects with casters such as atruck and awheelchair, and light chairs
that move easily, lock the casters or put them away.
• Make sure that power cables are laid alongside awall so that the robotic
cleaner will not be caught in them.
• Put away long, thin objects such as a cord and a belt.
• Put away small goods that are easily sucked in and valuable goods.
• Put away objects that block the passage of the robotic cleaner, such as a
work table, a chair, a tool, and a plate.
• If animal excrement or other liquid wastes are sucked in, the robotic cleaner
may malfunction. Clean them up.
• Make sure that the tassels of a mat or other coverings are tucked inside.
• Lift the hem of a curtain, etc. that hangs down on the floor. The hem may get
caught in the main brush, etc.
• Put away thin, slippery rugs, such as a mat and a carpet. The rugs and side
brushes may be damaged.
• Put away thin paper and cloth, plastic bags, etc.
• In aplace leading to outside, close the doors to prevent the robotic cleaner
from going to outside. If the doors cannot be closed, do not use the robotic
cleaner. In addition, close the doors of rooms that the robotic cleaner should
not enter.
• The robotic cleaner may not be able to run properly on aslippery floor
surface. Check the condition of the floor before use.
• Ensure a pathway of 80 cm or more for cleaning.
13 ENGLISH

How to remove
WARNING
When you remove a battery, be sure that the power of the robotic cleaner
is off. Do not remove a battery when the robotic cleaner is in the stand-
by state. (See “Turning the power on/off” on page 15.)
• Removing a battery with the power on can cause failure.
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when removing the battery
cartridge.
Lift the battery while operating the button of the battery.
15 ENGLISH
Turning the power on/off
• As the power is turned on, the robotic cleaner enters the standby state. In the
standby state, it is possible to do cleaning, change settings, and establish
connection to the app.
•
If the robotic cleaner, remote control, or the app have not been operated for
approximately 30 minutes in the standby state, the power will shut off. (If the
smartphone connection lamp is lit in the above case, the power will not shut off.)
• Turn off the power at the end of operation and at the time of storage.
• When the robotic cleaner is in the sleep state, communication from the app is
not possible.
• When the power of the robotic cleaner is off, the robotic cleaner cannot be
operated from the remote control or the app.
How to turn on the power
1. With the power of the robotic cleaner off, press the start/stop button of the
robotic cleaner.
2. Wait without operating until the time is displayed.
When the robotic cleaner is used for the first time, time setting is necessary
first. Set the time of day. (See page 22.)

What to set up before cleaning
Before cleaning, make settings for the robotic cleaner as required.
Switching the vacuum fan on/off
In the case of cleaning of visible large dust only, turning off the vacuum fan allows
the running time to be longer. For how to switch the vacuum fan on/off, refer to
page 18.
Switching the sound setting on/off
When the sound setting of the robotic cleaner is off, the robotic cleaner cleans
silently. (See page 22.)
Setting the boundary-sensing feature
With the boundarysensing feature on, the robotic cleaner recognizes magnetic
boundary line set up on afloor surface. Magnetic boundary line serves as a
boundary line, and the robotic cleaner does not go beyond the magnetic boundary
line; that is, the running area can be limited. For how to set the boundarysensing
feature, refer to page 20.
16 ENGLISH
How To Use
Cleaning
• The robotic cleaner works in three ways:
free cleaning mode, which does not require map registration,
mapping cleaning mode (see “Cleaning a room with mapping” on this page),
which requires room information to be registered for cleaning, and
manual operation using the remote control.
• Free cleaning mode is recommended for cleaning in various rooms or in an
environment that involves frequent, significant layout changes.
• For a room that cannot be adequately lighted at the time of mapping, use free
cleaning mode.
•
If the remaining battery charge of the robotic cleaner gets low, the robotic cleaner
suspends cleaning and returns to the location cleaning started.
Cleaning a room with the remote control
The robotic cleaner can be operated for cleaning by pressing the action buttons of
the remote control.
1
4
23
1. Move forward: Press .
2. Turn left: Press .
3. Turn right: Press .
4. Move backward: While holding down , press .
NOTICE
• Do not operate the robotic cleaner in a narrow or uneven place.
• When operating the robotic cleaner with the remote control, be careful to
avoid collisions or falls.
• If there is an obstacle in front of the moving robotic cleaner, the robotic
cleaner reverses to avoid it.
Cleaning a room without mapping (free cleaning
mode)
1. Place the robotic cleaner beside a wall of the place that you want to clean.
2. Put the robotic cleaner into the standby state. (See page 15.)
3. Press the mode switch button to select [F] (free cleaning mode).
Each time the mode switch button is pressed, the displayed character is
changed in the order “F, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, F, ...” (each number represents a room
number).
4. As the start/stop button is pressed, the robotic cleaner produces a sound and
starts cleaning. (When the sound setting is on)
5. As the robotic cleaner determines that cleaning is finished, the robotic cleaner
returns back to the place from which it started cleaning.
• When the sound setting is on, completion of cleaning is informed with a
sound. (See page 22.)
• The robotic cleaner calculates its own position using the LiDAR sensor and
camera sensor. For the camera sensor to function fully, it is recommended to
make the room brighter for cleaning. If the room is dark, the robotic cleaner
may not be able to clean some area or may fail to return back to the place
from which it started cleaning.
Cleaning a room with mapping
Registering room information (mapping)
• When the rooms to clean are already determined, registering room
information (registration of mapping information) in the robotic cleaner allows
the cleaning to be more efficient. After completion of mapping, it becomes
possible to check the cleaning result and set prohibited areas from the app.
• The number of rooms that can be registered is five.
• Make the room brighter during mapping.
• Keep away from the robotic cleaner during mapping.
• Do not pick up the robotic cleaner during mapping.
• The mapping fails if there are no obstacles with aheight of 25 cm or more
within a radius of about 11 m of the robotic cleaner. In this case, cleaning in
free cleaning mode is recommended. (See “Cleaning a room without mapping
(free cleaning mode)” on this page)
1. Place the robotic cleaner in the place from which you want the robotic cleaner
to start cleaning.
• This starting location will be a location for cleaning to start.
• It is recommended to set the starting location near awall, acorner of the
room, or other point that is easy to identify.
• Keep a distance of about 30 cm from a wall.
2. Put the robotic cleaner into the standby state. (See page 15.)
3. Select an unmapped room number by pressing the mode switch button.
• [F] is free cleaning mode. (See “Cleaning aroom without mapping (free
cleaning mode)” on this page.)
• Unmapped room numbers will be displayed blinking, and the room register
lamp will be on.
• Mapped room numbers will be displayed lit, and the room register lamp will be
off.
4. As the start/stop button is pressed, the robotic cleaner starts mapping. After
mapping, the robotic cleaner goes back to where mapping began (starting
point of cleaning) and then completes room registration.
• Upon completion of mapping, the robotic cleaner enters the standby state. It
may take time for the robot cleaner to enter the standby state. Do not turn off
the power in this case.
• When the sound setting is on, completion of mapping is informed with a
sound.
• If the mapping is unsuccessful, add the mapping information manually using
the app. (See page 39.)
17 ENGLISH
Cleaning mapped rooms
• In mapping cleaning mode, the robotic cleaner works so that mapped rooms
are cleaned more efficiently.
• The use of mapping cleaning mode requires mapping information to be
registered. (See “Cleaning a room with mapping” on page 16.)
1. Place the robotic cleaner at the starting point for mapping.
Place the robotic cleaner with the same orientation as at the start of mapping
as much as possible. This allows the robotic cleaner to start cleaning more
smoothly.
2. Put the robotic cleaner into the standby state. (See page 15.)
3. Select a mapped room number by pressing the mode switch button.
• [F] is free cleaning mode. (See page 16.)
• Unmapped room numbers will be displayed blinking, and the room register
lamp will be on.
• Mapped room numbers will be displayed lit, and the room register lamp will be
off.
4. Press the start/stop button to begin cleaning.
5. As cleaning ends, the robotic cleaner goes back to where it started cleaning.
•
The clean level lamp indicates what proportion of the whole room has been
cleaned.
• When the sound setting is on, completion of cleaning is informed with a
sound. (See page 22.)
• If the target cleaning area is too wide to clean all at once, we recommend
using the [Continuous Cleaning] setting. (See page 42.)
How to read the clean level lamp
The clean level lamp informs you of the percentage cleaned area in the surface
area of the mapped room.
Clean level lamp status Percentage of completed cleaning area
90 % or more
75 % to less than 90 %
50 % to less than 75 %
25 % to less than 50 %
Deleting mapping information
1. Put the robotic cleaner into the standby state. (See page 15.)
2. Select the room number for which you want to delete mapping information by
pressing the mode switch button.
• Each time the mode switch button is pressed, the room number is changed in
the order “F, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, F, ...” (For [F], deletion of mapping information is not
possible since [F] is free cleaning mode.)
•
A mapped room number will illuminate on the display.
3. When the mode switch button is held down, [dEL] is shown for about 10
seconds in the time indicator.
4. Press the confirmation button while [dEL] is shown.
• If the confirmation button is not pressed while [dEL] is shown, the robotic
cleaner goes back to the standby state.
• When mapping information is deleted, the selected room number will blink
and become unregistered.
