Charging the robot
The robot arrives with a charged battery and can drive for up to three hours before recharging is
required.
Step Action
1 Turn off the robot on the button in the robot’s
front left-hand corner.
To avoid fast discharging, it is
recommended to turn off the robot
while charging.
Use only the original charging cable.
2 Pull off the rear corner cover, and connect the
charging cable to the charging socket.
Then connect the other end of the cable to a
power socket to start the charging
To avoid damage to the charging socket,
it is important that the cable be
connected to the robot’s charging
socket before it is connected to power.
After recharging, the cable must be
disconnected from power before it is
removed from the robot.
3 After a maximum of three hours, the robot is fully charged.
4 Disconnect the charging cable from the
power socket first, then remove it from the
robot by turning it slightly to the left and
pulling.
Slide the rear corner cover back on.

General safety notes
MiR200™ Quick Start,
Web Interface 1.0, October 2017 v. 1.3 11
General safety notes
• Ensure proper mounting of loads during transport
Danger of personal injury from overturning robot or falling load.
All accessories and loads mounted on top of the robot should be fastened correctly and
meet specifications.
• Avoid leakage of fluid during transport
Danger of personal injury from leaking fluid.
Make sure that loads containing fluids do not leak during transport.
• Use only the original charger
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Use of other charger than the one supplied by the manufacturer can ruin the battery and
may cause fire.
• Update maps to avoid hazards on the route
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Make sure to update maps with areas without drive surfaces such as stairways.
• Update maps to avoid hazards on the route
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Make sure to update maps to avoid driving in hazardous zones such as close to stairways.
• Do not drive vehicle irresponsibly
Danger of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The robot should not be driven over edges or in other ways operated irresponsibly.
• Do not use the robot to transport people
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The robot should never be used to transport people. This will revoke compliance with the
standard EN 1525 Safety for unmanned trucks.
• Avoid gradients above 5% on the route
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The surface grade (ramps etc.) cannot exceed 5% as this may cause the robot to skid.
• Only drive on even and dry surface
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Wet and uneven surfaces may cause the robot to skid.
• Do not overload the robot
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
The maximum payload for the load on top of the robot is 200 kg 440 lbs kg. If exceeded, it
may cause overturning, falling load and damage to the robot. See also Appendix .
• Do not use robot on board ships
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Unstable surface caused by moving vessel may cause the robot to skid.
• Turn off the main power immediately after removal of the top cover
Risk of personal injury and/or damage to the robot.
Turn off main power relay to avoid short circuit.

Lithium battery
MiR200™ Quick Start,
Web Interface 1.0, October 2017 v. 1.3 12
Lithium battery
Lithium batteries are primary power sources with high energy content designed to represent the
highest possible degree of safety.
• Indoor use only
Risk of damage to the robot.
The robot is made for indoor use only and should never be used outdoor.
• Avoid small objects on the floor in the robot’s area
Risk of property damage and/or minor damage to the robot.
The robot cannot detect objects smaller than 50 mm and may overrun smaller objects.
• Remove unwanted objects from the floor in the robot’s area
Risk of inefficient execution of orders.
The robot will go around objects that are not parts of the map, but this may influence the
efficiency of the planned route.
• Avoid overheating of components
Risk of damage to the robot or robot components.
The ambient temperature in the robot’s environment must not exceed 50° C - 122° F.
• Avoid exposure of the robot to excessively humid or dry environment
Risk of damage to the robot or robot components.
Potential hazard
Lithium battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if they are
abused electrically or mechanically.
Observe the following precautions handling and using lithium batteries:
• Shut off the battery when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit, recharge or connect with false polarity.
• Do not expose to temperature beyond the specified temperature range or incinerate the
battery.
• Do not crush, puncture or disassemble the battery. The battery contains safety and
protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or
ignite.
• Do not allow the battery to get wet.
• In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse
well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could
cause damage to the eye.
• Use only the original charger and always follow the instructions from the battery
manufacturer.
