3. Setup Guide
3.1 Charging Station Placement
Place the charging station against a wall in an open area. Ensure there is at least 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) of clear space on both sides and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in front of the station to allow the robot to easily dock and undock. Connect the power adapter to the charging station and plug it into a power outlet.
3.2 Initial Charging
Place the robot onto the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot align with those on the station. The robot will begin charging automatically. For first-time use, fully charge the robot before operation, which typically takes several hours.
3.3 App Download and Connection
- Download the official Tikom app from your mobile device's app store.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Follow the in-app instructions to add your Tikom L8000 Pro robot. This typically involves connecting the robot to your home Wi-Fi network.
3.4 Initial Mapping
After successful app connection, initiate a full cleaning cycle from the app. The robot will use its LiDAR navigation system to scan and create a map of your home. This map is crucial for efficient cleaning and advanced features like zone cleaning and restricted areas. The robot can save and manage up to 5 different maps, suitable for multi-floor homes.
