Important Tips
How to Use
- Before using the robot, ensure the power switch is on. Survey the area to be cleaned and remove any obstacles.
- The robot will pass over the same area multiple times for thorough cleaning.
- The spinning brushes may flick small granules (like dog food, cat litter), but the robot will eventually vacuum them all.
- Before replacing side brushes, check and match the "L" and "R" marks on both the side brush and the bottom of the robot.
- When setting the clock time or schedule, the final operation will be confirmed by a beep from the robot. If no tone is received, the setting is unsuccessful.
- Empty the dust bin. The robot may vacuum less or even spit out debris when the dust bin is full, even without a warning beep.
For Best Performance
- Empty the V5s Pro's dust bin and clean its filter after every use.
- The HEPA filter cannot be washed with water.
- Replace the HEPA filter when the V5s Pro's vacuum power weakens or picks up less debris.
- Place the charging home base against a wall, removing obstacles about 1 meter (3.3 feet) to its sides and about 2 meters (6.6 feet) forward.
- Fully charge the robot's battery before each cleaning cycle.
Battery Life
To extend the V5s Pro's battery life and maintain peak cleaning performance:
- Charge the robot overnight before its first use.
- If the robot is not used for a long time, turn off the power switch.
- Recharge the robot as soon as possible. Waiting several days to recharge may damage the battery.
- Use the robot frequently.
Warning: The product contains electronic parts. DO NOT submerge V5s Pro or spray it with water; clean with a dry cloth only.

Annex - Operation Manual (for Model with Water Tank Only)
Diagram of the water tank, showing its Rubber Plug, Handle, Weep hole, and Water input hole.
- Dry cleaning is performed with the dust bin, and wet cleaning is performed with the water tank.
- The mop bracket with mop should be on the robot when the water tank is used.
- Pour water into the water tank.
- Open the robot lid and place the water tank into the body; the weep hole of the water tank should be aligned with the weep hole on the robot body.
- Close the robot lid, press the CLEAN button to start wet cleaning. There is no vacuum suction function during wet cleaning.
- It is suggested to perform dry cleaning (suction) before wet cleaning for a better cleaning result.
- The water in the water tank flows out automatically, so it is prohibited to leave the water tank inside or outside the robot when there is still water in the tank. This will cause water logging on the floor.
- Please take out the water tank when charging the robot vacuum cleaner.
