2. Charge the Robot: Place the roborock S5 onto the charging dock. Ensure the charging contacts align. The robot will announce its charging status. Allow it to fully charge before first use.
3. Download the App: Download the "Roborock" app from your mobile device's app store (available for Android and iOS).
4. Connect to Wi-Fi: Open the Roborock app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during setup.
5. Initial Mapping: For the first cleaning cycle, allow the robot to clean your entire home without interruption. This allows the LiDAR navigation system to create an accurate map of your living space.
6. Set No-go Zones (Optional): Once the map is created, use the Roborock app to define virtual no-go zones or no-mop zones to restrict the robot from certain areas.
