General operation conditions for robotic pool cleaner

• The robot is intended to operate in pools between 0.4 and 3m depth. The robot can operate in pool temperature between 4 and 35 degrees (below 15 degrees may affect endurance time).
• The robot will automatically stop running if the water depth is less than 40 centimeters for the purpose of motor protection.
• Do not use the robot during shock chlorination.
• Do not use the robot in thunder storm or stormy weather.
• Do not expose the robot to direct rainfall or sunlight for an extended period.
• The robot is intended to be used with a balanced pool between PH 7.0-7.8, NaCl :5000 ppm Max, Chlorine 4 ppm Max.

Cautions

• Rest/hold the robot by the pool edge for water to drain out before lifting the robot out of water, do it slowly so as to prevent back injury.
• Clean the filter basket after each cleaning cycle.
• Do not lift the robot out of water by track.

⚠️ For battery protection, the robot should be fully charged every 3 months and the magnetic cap should be inserted back into the robot if it is not being used for more than 14 days.

2.3 Cleaning the filter basket

When a cleaning cycle is complete, the robot will stop at the wall of the pool. Use the hook to catch the handle and lift the robot out of the water. Drain the water from the robot and clean the filter basket as shown below:

[Diagrams illustrating the process of removing and cleaning the filter basket.]

TIP! Only spray with a gentle hose, do not use high pressure or the basket filter may tear. If the filter does not come fully clean, use a soft bristle brush to release fixed dirt.

Note: To prevent injury, wear rubber gloves when cleaning the filter basket.

[Diagram: Close-up view of the filter basket and its components, including magnets.]

2.5 WIFI Matching

QUICK TIPS:

1. Place GT Freedom close to router.
2. Switch Bluetooth on, on phone.
3. Accept pop up prompts when first starting app.
4. WiFi cannot be used while robot is in water due to limitations of signals penetrating water. This includes sending and receiving notifications.
