Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Charging the Robot
- Place the charging dock against a wall in an open area, ensuring there are no obstacles within 1 meter to the sides and 2 meters in front.
- Connect the power adapter to the charging dock and plug it into a power outlet. The indicator light on the dock will illuminate.
- Place the V55 onto the charging dock, ensuring the charging contacts align. The robot will emit a sound and the display will show charging status. For first use, charge for at least 12 hours.
- The V55 supports auto-charging. When the battery is low, it will automatically return to the charging dock.
3.3 Installing Side Brushes
Press the side brushes onto the square posts at the bottom of the robot until they click into place. Ensure the L and R markings on the brushes match the corresponding markings on the robot.
3.4 Using the ElectroWall
The ElectroWall creates an invisible barrier to prevent the V55 from entering specific areas. Insert two AA batteries (not included) into the ElectroWall. Place it on the floor at the entrance of the area you wish to block. Ensure the infrared window faces the area to be restricted.
