3.1 Important Tips Before Use

Follow these guidelines for optimal robot performance and safety:

• 1. Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle the robot. ❌
• 2. Robot may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible. ❌
• 3. Keep robot away from wet areas. ❌
• 4. Keep robot away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent robot from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas. ❌
• 5. Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling robot. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause robot to malfunction. ❌
• 6. Anti-drop sensors prevent robot from tumbling down stairs and steep drops. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on reflective/very dark-colored floors. It is recommended to place physical barriers to block off areas where Robot may fall. ✔️

? Place physical barriers in front of fireplaces and areas that may cause damage to the robot if entered.

3.2 Preparation

1. Plug in the Charging Base, and route the rest wire into the trunking at the bottom of the Charging Base. Note: If you do not put the rest wire into the trunking, it may snag the robot while charging or cleaning.
2. Place the Charging Base on a hard, level surface and against a wall.
3. Remove objects within 3 ft/1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft/2 m of the front of the charging base.
