• Side Brushes: Check and clean the side brushes for tangled hair or debris. Replace them if they are worn or damaged.
• Mopping Pad: Wash the reusable mopping pad after each use and allow it to air dry. Replace disposable mopping pads as needed.
• Sensors: Wipe the anti-drop sensors, anti-collision sensors, and charging contacts with a clean, dry cloth to ensure optimal performance.

5. Troubleshooting

If your Deebot T8 AIVI encounters an issue, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Robot getting stuck: Ensure the cleaning area is free of loose wires, small objects, or thick rugs that might impede movement. The AIVI technology is designed to avoid obstacles, but some items may still cause issues.
• Poor Wi-Fi connection: Verify your Wi-Fi network is operating on the 2.4GHz band. If issues persist, try restarting your router and the robot.
• Incomplete cleaning: Ensure the dustbin is not full and the brushes are free of debris. Check the app map to see if any no-go zones are inadvertently set.
• Robot not returning to dock: Ensure the charging dock is properly plugged in and has clear space around it. Clean the charging contacts on both the robot and the dock.
• Pet waste avoidance: While AIVI technology is advanced, it is not foolproof for pet waste. It is highly recommended to clear pet feces from the cleaning area before operation to prevent spreading.
