Setup
1. Unpacking and Initial Preparation
- Remove all packaging materials and protective films from the robot and its accessories.
- Install the side brushes: Match the 'L' and 'R' brushes to their corresponding slots on the bottom of the robot and press firmly until they click into place.
- Ensure the 2-in-1 water tank and dustbin is correctly inserted into the robot.
2. Charging Dock Placement
Place the charging dock against a wall in an open area, ensuring 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 dock. Connect the power adapter to the charging dock and plug it into a power outlet. Ensure the power cord is neatly tucked away to prevent entanglement.

Cleaning Modes
The UR1 features 4 distinct cleaning modes:
- Auto Mode: The robot intelligently navigates to clean the entire home systematically.
- Edge Mode: Cleans along walls and furniture edges to ensure thorough coverage.
- Spot Mode: Focuses on a specific area for intensive cleaning of concentrated dirt.
- Random Mode: Cleans in a random path, suitable for smaller areas or quick clean-ups.

Vacuuming and Mopping
The UR1 is a 3-in-1 device capable of sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping. It features 5000Pa suction power with auto-carpet boost, automatically increasing suction on carpets to remove embedded dirt and pet hair. The V-shaped anti-tangle roller prevents hair wrap.
To use the mopping function, fill the 250ml water tank (integrated with the 450ml dustbin) with clean water. Attach the mopping plate with a clean mopping pad to the bottom of the robot. The app allows for 3 levels of water flow adjustment (Low/Middle/High).

Navigation and Safety
Equipped with Gyro-Navigation, the UR1 ensures methodical full-home coverage. It features obstacle avoidance, anti-drop, and anti-collision sensors to navigate smoothly around furniture, avoid falling down stairs, and prevent damage. The robot can smoothly climb over obstacles up to 20mm (0.78 inches) high.

3. Cleaning Brushes
- Main Brush: Remove the main brush cover and lift out the main brush. Use the provided cleaning tool to remove any tangled hair or debris.
- Side Brushes: Periodically check side brushes for wear or entanglement. Remove any hair or debris. Replace worn brushes with the spare set provided.
