Using Your RoboVac

Important Tips Before Use

Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac. You can use the supplied cable ties to organize your wires and power cords.
Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
Keep RoboVac away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent RoboVac from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
Keep RoboVac away from wet areas.
RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
Anti-drop sensors prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on reflective/very dark-colored floors. It is recommended to apply the Boundary Strip(s) to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.

Preparation

Install the side brushes before use.
Turn on the main power switch on the bottom of RoboVac.
Place the Charging Base on a hard, level surface and against a wall.
Remove objects within 3 ft/1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft/2 m of the front of the Charging Base.
Connect the round connector of the adapter into the power socket on the Charging Base and the other end into a wall outlet.

When the Charging Base connects to AC power, the LED indicator on the Charging Base is SOLID WHITE.
