Charging Dock
Placement of Charging Dock:
- Connect the adapter to the charging dock.
- Place the charging dock against a wall in a wide open area. Ensure at least 1 meter clearance on the left and right sides, and 2 meters in front. Avoid reflective objects like mirrors near the dock.
- Connect the power adapter to the dock and then to the power outlet. The signal light on the dock will illuminate when connected.
Turn on The Robot:
- Locate the power switch on the side of the robot. Slide it to "ON" (indicated by "I") or "OFF" (indicated by "O").
Reminder: After the robot finishes its work, it is recommended to leave it on the charging dock for recharging rather than turning it off.
Robot Charging

The robot will automatically search for and return to the charging dock when its power is low (in Auto Mode) or when the Self-charge button (?) is pressed.
Reminder: Keep charging pins clean for a good connection.
B. Manual Charging:
Turn on the robot's power switch. Connect the adapter to the robot, then plug the adapter into the power socket.
Reminders:
- Charge for 12 hours for the first time.
- Keep the robot on the charging dock with the dock connected to power and the main switch ON for daily use.
- If not using the robot for a long time, fully charge it, turn off the power, and store it in a well-ventilated dry place.

Water Tank Operation
To use the mopping function, first clean the area with the dustbin, then replace it with the water tank components.
- If the robot stops during mopping to add water or clean the mop, it will reset its path. For best results, use for a single room.
- When cleaning a second room, manually move the robot and add water/clean the cloth as needed.
- Do not use water tank components on carpets or rugs. Fold rug edges or block carpeted areas.
- Add water or clean the mopping pad promptly during mopping. Remove the water tank when adding water.
- Ensure the water tank components are removed when charging.
- Add Water: Open the water injection cap, fill the water tank with a water cup, and pour water slowly into the tank.
- Place The Mop Cloth: Close the water injection cap. Attach the mop cloth and secure it with the two elastic bands.
- Install Water Tank Components: Press the release button at the end of the dustbin, remove the dustbin, and install the water tank components.
- Mop The Floor: Start any cleaning mode. The robot will perform mopping.
Electrowall
The Electrowall creates an invisible barrier that the V8 Plus will not cross, allowing you to confine it to a specific room or area.
- Install battery first, then turn it on.
- Place the Electrowall outside the doorway you wish to block, ensuring the signal logo faces forward towards the opening.
- Turn off the Electrowall after each use.
TIPS:
- Ensure the robot is placed within the designated "working area" indicated by stickers on the Electrowall.
Regular Maintenance
Please turn off the robot and unplug the charging dock when cleaning the robot and its accessories.
Side Brush and Suction Inlet Cleaning
Clean the side brush and suction inlet when they are dirty. Replace them if they become damaged.
Dustbin and Filter Cleaning
Clean the dustbin and filter after each use as instructed:
- Remove the dustbin and check the suction inlet for debris. Clean as needed.
- The primary filter is replaceable and can be washed with water. Wash it after 15-30 days of use and dry it in a cool, well-ventilated place. Do not squeeze it.
- The High Performance Filter cannot be cleaned with water. To prolong its life, shake the filter to clean it.
Visual guides show the steps for cleaning the dustbin and filters.
Cleaning of Water Tank Components
- Clean The Mop Cloth: After mopping, remove the water tank components and the mop cloth. Rinse and air dry the mop cloth.
- Clean The Water Tank: After mopping, remove the mop cloth and components. Drain any remaining water from the tank. Dry the water tank by hand and then air dry it.
Sensors and Charging Pins Cleaning
Use a cleaning tool or soft cloth to clean the sensors and charging pins as illustrated. Ensure charging pins are cleaned regularly if contaminated.
Visual guides show the cleaning of sensors and charging pins.
Nose Wheel Cleaning
Ensure the nose wheel housing is free of debris, as this can affect cleaning performance. Pull the wheel up and out vertically to clean the wheel, wheel holder, and housing.
