(Illustrations on page 12 show correct and incorrect setup scenarios.)

Steps

1. Install Side Brushes: Press the side brush against the bottom housing until it clicks into place.(Illustration on page 13 shows this process.)
2. Place Self-empty Station: Position the self-empty station on a flat floor against a wall and tidy up any redundant wires.(Illustration on page 13 shows the station placement.)
3. Connect Power Supply: Ensure the area around the station is clear and connect the power supply. Maintain clearance: 0.5m (1.6ft) on the left/right and 1.5m (4.8ft) in front of the charging base.(Diagram on page 14 illustrates the required clearance.)
4. Position Charging Base: Do not move the charging base frequently and avoid direct sunlight on it, as sunlight can interfere with the recharging signal.(Illustration on page 14 shows the self-empty station.)
5. Power On and Charge: Press and hold the power button (Ⓤ) for 3 seconds. When the indicator light is on, place the robot on the charging base. A voice prompt "Start charging" indicates successful charging. If the battery is low, the robot cannot be powered on; place it on the charging base to power on automatically.(Illustration on page 15 shows the robot charging.)

Mopping Function

1. Open the water injection cover, add the appropriate amount of water (do not add detergent), and close tightly.
2. Place the water tank back into the robot.
3. Install the mop onto the mop support.
4. Install the mop support onto the robot.

(Illustrations on page 16 detail these steps.)

How To Use

Use Instructions

1. Power On / Power Off: Press and hold the power button (Ⓤ) for 3 seconds. A lit indicator means the machine is on. When in standby, press and hold the power button (Ⓤ) for 5 seconds; an extinguished indicator means the machine is shut down.Note: The robot cannot be shut down during charging.
2. Cleaning / Pause: After startup, press the power button (Ⓤ) on the main unit or use the mobile app to start cleaning.Notes:
   • The robot cannot clean liquids.
   • If the battery is less than 20%, the robot cannot operate; charge it before cleaning.
   • If the battery drops below 20% during cleaning, the robot will automatically return to the charging base.
   • Tidy up wires (including the charging base power line) on the ground before cleaning to prevent entanglement, which could cause power failure or damage.
3. Charge: In automatic mode, the robot returns to the charging base after cleaning. In manual mode, press the recharge button (⌂) or use the mobile app to start recharging.Note: If the robot fails to find the charging base, it will return to its starting point; manually place it on the base for charging.
4. Suction Selection: Use the mobile app to select energy-saving, standard, or powerful suction modes (standard is the default).

Cleaning Modes

Intelligent Cleaning (Default Mode)

The robot scans the environment, generates a map, and divides areas for systematic cleaning, filling areas in a Z-shape. It returns to the charging base upon completion. For optimal map building, the robot should start from the charging base during the first cleaning.

(Diagram on page 22 illustrates the concept of cleaned and to-be-cleaned areas.)

Note: Do not move the robot randomly during operation. If moved, place it near its original spot. The robot will attempt to reposition; if successful, it continues the planned path. If repositioning fails, it may abandon the task and create a new map, potentially affecting recharging.

Cleaning as Required

Use the mobile app to select this function. Choose a point on the map, and the robot will move to that location and clean a 1.5m x 1.5m square area around it.

(Diagram on page 23 shows a 1.5m x 1.5m cleaning square.)

Note: The map must be completed in the mobile app before using this function.

Cleaning of Selected Area

Use the mobile app to select specific areas on the map for the robot to clean.

(Diagram on page 24 shows a map with numbered areas to be cleaned.)

Notes:

• The map must be completed in the mobile app before using this function.
• The robot may enter unplanned areas; clear obstacles around planned areas. This area does not provide safety isolation.

Cleaning of Defined Area

Use the mobile app to select and define specific areas for the robot to clean.

(Diagram on page 25 shows a map with a defined cleaning area marked by a dashed square.)

Notes:

• The map must be completed in the mobile app before using this function.
• The robot may enter unplanned areas; clear obstacles around planned areas. This area does not provide safety isolation.

Restricted Area Setting

Use the mobile app's restricted area editing function to select and set areas the robot should avoid cleaning.

(Diagram on page 26 shows a map with a restricted area marked by a dashed square with an 'X'.)

Notes:

• The map must be completed in the mobile app before using this function.
• This function is for defining cleaning areas and cannot block dangerous areas.
• If the robot or environment changes significantly, the map may become ineffective, and the restricted area setting might be lost.

Scheduled Cleaning

After setting scheduled cleaning times, the robot will automatically start cleaning at the designated time and return to the charging base upon completion.

DND Mode (Do Not Disturb)

The default DND time period is 22:00-06:00, which can be modified or disabled in the mobile app. During DND hours, the robot will disable automatic continuous cleaning, voice prompts, and timing functions.

Other APP Functions

(Illustrations on page 28 show these steps.)

Note: Recommended cleaning frequency: once a week.

Side Brush

1. Turn the machine upward and pull out the side brush vertically.
2. Clear entangled hairs and dirt, then reinstall the side brush.

(Illustration on page 29 shows this process.)

(Illustrations on page 30 show how to remove and empty the dust bin.)

Note: Recommended cleaning frequency: after each cleaning.

Wash the Dust Bin

1. After extended use, remove the sponge and high-efficiency filter.
2. Flush the primary filter, dust bin, and sponge under a water tap. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed with water.
3. After washing, shake off excess water, and dry the filter and dust bin in the air until completely dry.

(Diagram on page 31 shows the dust bin components.)

Notes:

• Wash with clean water and do not add any detergent.
• Use fingers, not a brush, to clean the filter.
• The filter must be dried in the air for at least 24 hours to ensure it is thoroughly dry.
• It is recommended to replace the filter every three months.
• Recommended cleaning frequency: once a week.

Clean Sensors and Charging Contacts

• Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor: Clean with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
• Cliff Sensor: Clean with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
• Charging Contact: Clean the charging contacts on the robot and the charging base with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

(Illustrations on page 32 show cleaning these components.)

Note: Recommended cleaning frequency: once a month.

Clean Signal Emission Region on Self-empty Station

(Illustration on page 33 shows cleaning this region.)

Note: Recommended cleaning frequency: once a month.

Battery

The main unit has a rechargeable high-performance lithium-ion battery pack. Maintain the unit in a charging state during daily use for optimal battery performance. If the machine is not used for a long time, shut it down, store it, and charge it every three months to prevent over-discharge damage.

Firmware Upgrade

Access the firmware upgrade function via the mobile app. After new firmware is detected, follow the on-screen prompts for upgrading. Ensure the battery capacity is at least 50% during the upgrade process. It is recommended to place the device on the charging base during the upgrade.

How to Change the Dust Bag

1. Unplug the power and open the Self-empty station cover.
2. Pull up the dust bag handle.
3. Remove the dust bag from the station.
4. Dispose of the used dust bag in a trash can.
5. Install the new dust bag into the station, ensuring the dust bag handle is properly seated and not pulled out.
6. After closing the Self-empty station cover, switch on the power supply.

(Illustrations on page 34 detail these steps.)

Clean the Self-empty Station Dust Channel

If the station indicator blinks red after replacing the dust bag, unplug the station. Reverse it and check the dust channel through the perspective window. If blocked, remove the dust channel perspective window with a screwdriver as shown in the figure.

Caution: Violent disassembly is strictly prohibited. Please reinstall it after cleaning.

(Diagram on page 35 shows the dust channel and its cover.)

Clean the Self-empty Station Infrared Sensor/Charging Contact Shrapnel

Gently wipe these areas regularly with a clean, soft, dry cloth. It is recommended to clean them once a month.
