NOTE: If you are experiencing problems with your battery or the
performance of the robot, or if the robot is beeping:
1. Take out the battery from the unit and wipe the contact plates.
2. Replace the battery and allow the robot to recharge overnight.
3. If problem still exists please contact the after sales service company.
Carpets or hard floors
•Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer’s

For first time use, make sure the robot vacuum cleaner battery has been
fully charged for 12 hours for best performance.
Normal charge time will take within 4-5 hours before the battery is full again.
Getting Started
Setting the Remote Control
The remote control comes with two AAA batteries. Ensure these are correctly
loaded in the remote controller before getting started.
***The following steps are very important, or the remote control may fail.
You should check the code of the remote control and vacuum so that they can
function together.
1. Check that the remote control and cleaner have enough power. Turn off the
cleaner, press ENTER on the remote control for more than 4 seconds, and
then turn on the vacuum without releasing ENTER on the remote control. After
the cleaner beeps twice, release ENTER, then the code check set is finished.
2. If you fail to hear a beep during the code check, just repeat the above
process.

Getting Started Cont.
Your robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with many practical functions that
allow it to clean wooden floors, short-pile carpet/rugs, tiles and vinyl flooring.
Ensure carpets/rugs are in good condition before use.
The device uses artificial intelligence (AI) to adjust to its environment and
reliably clean its working area. The device is equipped with three level
sensors that recognise staircases and other dips to ensure that it will not fall.
The robot vacuum cleaner works in 4 cleaning programmes: random, spiral,
along the wall and spiral again. This enables it to automatically tackle several
cleaning scenarios. The battery will last between 90 to 120 minutes and will
cover 250 to 280 square metres assuming it has been fully charged. During
this time the vacuum cleaner will work through these programmes in an
arbitrary sequence depending on the enviroment.
Turn on the power switch at the right side of the robot (See Fig. 1).
The LCD display will begin to flash.
Charging Your Vacuum
Before you first use your vacuum cleaner charge the battery overnight for 12
hours. It is also recommended that the battery is flat before you recharge for
the first 2 or 3 times. Alternatively, if the battery is very low the robot vacuum
will automatically return to the docking station to charge. Do not use again
until the full charge has completed.
Using Your Vacuum Cleaner
Auto Cleaning
The vacuum cleaner will start working through the 4 programmes for as long
as the battery will last. When the battery becomes low, it will automatically
return to the docking station to re-charge. It will stay there until you wish to
use it again.

Random Spiral Along the wall Spiral again

To do this:
1. Press the “AUTO” button on the vacuum cleaner or remote control.
2. The vacuum will start cleaning. When the battery is low it will return to the
docking station to recharge and the Auto cleaning function is complete.
Full Go Cleaning
The vacuum cleaner will start working through the 4 programmes after the battery
has been fully charged. It will work continuously through the cleaning
programmes and re-charging cycle. This function is suitable for a large house
where one full charging cannot clean all the rooms. This way the vacuum will
continue to function until you stop it. It will return to the docking station to
re-charge every time the battery gets low.
To do this:
1. Press the “schedule” button on the remote control, then press “Full Go”.
After finishing Full Go setting, press “ENTER” to save it.
2. “F” in the “ ” icon on the LCD screen will flicker, and the vacuum will start
cleaning automatically when the battery is charged (4-5 hours charging).
Spot Cleaning
This function will clean a specific area about the size of 1 square metre.
Speeds
Fast speed moves more quickly than slow speed. The vacuum cleaner will clean
the area faster, but will not be as detailed as when working under the slow speed.
Slow speed is suggested if an area is dirtier than usual and requires extra
attention.
Cleaning System
The brushes on the side of the device sweep dust and dirt towards the suction
opening. Subsequently, the dirt particles are sucked into the dustbin. The HEPA
filter ensures that dirt particles remain on the floor of the dustbin so that only
clean air is expelled from the device.
The dustbin unit consists of the dustbin, air outlet, dust filter bracket and HEPA
dust filter. The unit can be removed without any tools.
Please refer to the Cleaning and Care sections in this manual.

Sensors
Various sensors are integrated into the vacuum cleaner which provide it with
certain useful traits.
•Level sensors recognise staircases and other dips to ensure that the device
will not fall. These categorise any height difference of more than 10 cm as a
dangerous depression. If such a drop is recognised, the vacuum cleaner turns
around to avoid falling.
•Anti-fall sensors are also located on the main wheels. If a wheel loses contact
with the floor – i.e. moves over a hole – the device reverses to prevent any
incident. If both wheels lose contact with the floor, the device stops
immediately.
•The bumper is located at the front of the device. If the bumper comes into
contact with anything, the device reverses to move around the obstacle.
•Due to the sensitivity of the integrated anti-fall sensors, dark or highly glossy
floor surfaces may cause the device to malfunction.a

Using the Mop Function
1. The mop is only to be used indoors on tiles, vinyl, lino or wooden floorboards.
Do not use the mop on carpet or uneven ground.
2. The mop function is not to be used with water. When the mop pad connects
with the surface of the floor it is able to pick up finer and smaller dust particles.
3. The velcro mop base is clicked onto the right & left hinges on the bottom of the
dust filter bracket (refer Fig.1).
4. You can then attach one mop pad to the velcro (refer Fig. 2).
5. To remove, unclick the velcro mop base from the right and left hinges on
the dust filter bracket (refer Fig. 3).
Do not use the mop function on carpet or uneven ground.

8The Full Go function is similar to the Auto function. The
difference is that once the battery has re-charged, it will
automatically start cleaning again. It will continue this
cycle indefinitely.
Furthermore, the first step is for the vacuum cleaner to
fully re-charge rather than start cleaning. It will only start
cleaning on a full battery.
The vacuum cleaner will work automatically after the
battery is full. It will work continuously through the
cleaning programmes and re-charging cycle until you
stop it. It will return to the docking station to re-charge
every time the battery gets low.
This function is suitable for a large house where one full
charging can not clean all the rooms.

Docking Station Overview
The LED indicator will signal red when connected to
power.
The indicator will flicker blue while recharging or
connected to the dock. It will continue to flicker blue even
after charging is complete.
The transmitting signal is the only way to lead the vacuum
to return to the docking station for charging, so the signal
transmitter position should be clear of any obstacles.
The positive & negative electrodes on the docking station
connect to those of the vacuum. Ensure there are no
obstacles to impact charging.
The power DC socket is used to connect the output
terminal DC24V adaptor. The docking station should be
placed against the wall firmly and the adaptor cable
should be placed out of the vacuums cleaning space.
