5. Setup

5.1 Charging Station Placement

Place the charging station against a wall in an open area, ensuring there are no obstacles within 1 meter to the sides and 2 meters in front of the station. This allows the robot to easily return for charging.

5.2 Initial Charging

Connect the power adapter to the charging station and plug it into a wall outlet. Place the robot vacuum cleaner onto the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot align with those on the station. The indicator lights on the robot will show charging status. Fully charge the robot before first use (approximately 4-5 hours).

5.3 Installing Side Brushes

Attach the side brushes by pressing them onto the designated posts on the underside of the robot until they click into place.

5.4 Preparing for Mopping (Optional)

To use the mopping function, fill the water tank with clean water. You may add a small amount of floor cleaner if desired. Attach a clean mop cloth to the mop holder using the hook-and-loop fasteners, then slide the mop holder with the water tank into the designated slot at the back of the robot.
