3. Setup

3.1. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge both the Scuba S1 and Pilot X1 according to their respective charging instructions. Ensure the charging ports are dry before connecting the charger.

3.2. Pilot X1 Assembly

  • Attach the desired filter (360µm for large debris, 100µm with sleeve for fine particles) to the Pilot X1 vacuum unit.
  • Connect the telescoping pole to the Pilot X1 unit. Ensure it is securely fastened.

3.3. Scuba S1 Placement

  • Place the Scuba S1 into the pool. It will automatically begin its cleaning cycle once submerged and activated.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Operating the AIPER Scuba S1

  • Activation: Submerge the Scuba S1 into the pool. The unit will automatically detect water and initiate its cleaning cycle.
  • Cleaning Modes: The Scuba S1 utilizes WavePath Navigation 2.0 to optimize its cleaning path for comprehensive coverage of the pool floor, walls, and waterline.
  • Monitoring: Allow the robot to complete its cycle. It will typically return to a reachable area or float when the battery is low or the cycle is complete.
  • Retrieval: Use the provided hook or a pool pole to retrieve the Scuba S1 from the pool.

4.2. Operating the AIPER Pilot X1

  • Power On: Ensure the Pilot X1 is charged. Press the power button to turn on the unit.
  • Submersion: Submerge the vacuum head into the water. The unit is designed to clean shallow areas and irregular shapes effectively.
  • Cleaning: Use the telescoping pole to guide the vacuum head across the desired cleaning surfaces, such as steps, corners, and the pool floor. The powerful suction will collect debris into the filter canister.
  • Dual Cleaning Modes: The Pilot X1 offers dual cleaning modes for tackling various debris types, from quick cleanups to deep scrubs.
  • Power Off: Once cleaning is complete, remove the unit from the water and power it off.

5. Maintenance
