OPERATING MODES
Normal Cleaning Mode
The Normal cleaning mode is an automatic
mode in which the vacuum automatically
switches between the three types of
cleaning paths. Normally, when in a room
with few obstacles, it will clean the floor
using an S-shaped path, as shown in the
diagram. When it detects a particularly dirty
spot, it will switch to Spot cleaning mode and when it detects obstacles, it will switch
to Edge cleaning mode. When cleaning is in progress, the LED display shows the current
time.
Spot Cleaning Mode
The vacuum will clean intensively in a spiral-
shaped cleaning pattern when it detects a
very dirty area or when the Spot cleaning
mode is manually activated.
Edge Cleaning Mode
The vacuum cleans along walls and
obstacles when it detects walls and
obstacles or when the Edge cleaning mode
is manually activated.

10
Schedule Mode
Once a cleaning schedule time has been
set, the vacuum will automatically start
cleaning in Normal cleaning mode at the
scheduled time.
SETUP AND CHARGING
1. Position the Charging Station
against a wall near an AC outlet and
with at least 1 meter (3 feet) of space
on each side and 2 meters (6 feet) of
space to the front.
2. Ensure that the Power Switch on the
side of the vacuum is in the OFF
position.
3. Insert the DC barrel connector on
the included AC Power Adapter into
the Charging Socket on the Charging
Station, then plug the adapter into a
nearby AC power outlet.
4. Flip the Power Switch on the side of
the vacuum to the ON position, then
place the vacuum on the floor.
5. Press the Home button on the vacuum or on the included remote control. The
vacuum will automatically position itself against the power station and charging
will begin. While charging is in progress, the LED display on the Main Panel will
show a series of 1s, from left to right. When charging is complete, the LED display
will show FULL.
