Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Device isn't charging or stops working after charging.	Charging Port/Contacts: Ensure the charging port and metal contacts are completely dry before charging. Any moisture may cause a short circuit. Clean Contacts: Check if the charging contacts are clean. If there is dust, debris, or oxidation, gently wipe them with a dry cloth. Original Charger: Make sure to use the original charger with correct voltage and current specifications. Using non-original chargers may result in charging failure. Full Charging Time: The full charging time is about 180 minutes. If the robot is removed from the charger too early, it may not operate normally. Long-term Storage: If the device has been left unused for a long period, the battery may enter deep discharge protection. In this case, connect it to the charger and allow sufficient time for reactivation.
Robot not cleaning effectively.	Clogged Filter: Check and clean the filter basket. A clogged filter reduces suction power. Incorrect Mode: Ensure the correct cleaning mode is selected for the type of cleaning required (e.g., Floor Only for floor debris). Obstructions: Verify that there are no large obstructions in the pool preventing the robot from moving freely.
Robot not climbing walls.	Battery Level: Ensure the robot has sufficient battery charge for wall climbing. Water Quality: Excessive algae or slippery surfaces on the pool walls can hinder climbing. Pool Type: Remember the Pondee X5 is not suitable for pools with all-round steps and stairs.
