Do not use the machine in suspended environments without protective fences (e.g., duplex floors, open balconies, top of furniture).

Before use, secure loose wires at home to prevent them from being dragged by the main unit.

Clear the floor of fragile items, sundries (like vases, plastic bags), and valuables. Failure to do so may result in the machine getting stuck, collisions, or damage to valuables.

Individuals with physical, mental, or perceptual disabilities should not use or operate this product.

Do not allow children to use the machine as a toy. Keep children and pets away from the machine while it is operating.

Keep the cleaning brush out of reach of children.

Do not place any objects, including children and pets, on the stationary or moving machine.

Keep hair, fingers, and other body parts away from the dust suction inlet while the machine is running.

Do not use the machine on long-haired carpets, as performance may be affected on dark carpets.

Do not use the machine to vacuum hard or sharp objects such as construction waste, glass, or nails.

Do not use the protective cover of the laser ranging sensor or bumper as a handle to carry the machine.

Please clean or maintain the machine and charging base when the machine is shut down or powered off.

Do not use a damp cloth or any liquid to wipe any part of the machine.

Installation

Precautions

Before starting the vacuum cleaner, clear the floor of wires and sundries. Remove any items that are easy to fall, fragile, valuable, or potentially dangerous. This prevents the machine from getting entangled, stuck, dragged, or knocked down, which could cause personal injury or property damage.

Do not use the robot to clean liquids.

When operating in a suspended environment (e.g., near stairs), ensure the robot is protected by rails to prevent accidental falls or pushing objects off edges, which could cause personal injury or property damage.

Steps

1. Install side brushes: Align a side brush with the bottom housing and press until it clicks into place.
2. Place the charging dock: Position the charging dock on a flat floor against a wall and tidy up any redundant wires.
3. Connect power supply: Ensure the area around the charging station is clear and connect the power supply that meets the electricity consumption requirements. ? Note: Ensure at least 0.5m (1.6 ft) of clear space on the left and right sides of the charging dock, and 1.5m (4.9 ft) in front.
4. Charging dock placement: Do not move the charging dock frequently. Avoid direct sunlight on the charging dock, as it may interfere with the recharging signal and cause the robot to fail to return.
5. Power on and charge: Press and hold the [Power Button] for 3 seconds. When the indicator light is on, place the robot onto the charging dock. You will hear a voice prompt "Start charging" when charging is successful. ? Note: If the battery is low, the robot cannot be powered on. Place it on the charging dock, and it will power on automatically.

Mopping function

1. Open the water injection cover, add the appropriate amount of water (do not add detergent), and cover 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.

How To Use

Use Instructions

1. Power On / Power Off: Press and hold the [Power Button] for 3 seconds. If the indicator light turns on, the machine has started. To shut down, when the robot is in standby state, press and hold the [Power Button] for 5 seconds until the indicator light goes out. ? Note: The robot vacuum cleaner cannot be shut down while charging.
2. Cleaning / Pause: After startup, press the [Power Button] on the main unit or use the mobile app to start cleaning. Press again to pause. ? Note:
   • The robot vacuum cleaner cannot be used to clean liquids.
   • If the battery capacity is less than 20%, the robot cannot operate. Charge the machine before cleaning.
   • If the battery capacity 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. Otherwise, wires may be dragged, potentially causing power failure to appliances or damage to items/wires.
3. Charge:
   • Automatic mode: After cleaning, the robot will automatically return to the charging dock.
   • Manual mode: In pause state, press the [Recharge Button] or use the mobile app to start recharging.
   ? Note: If the robot fails to find the charging dock, it will return to its starting point. Manually place the unit on the charging dock.
4. Suction selection: Use the mobile app to select energy-saving, standard, or powerful suction modes. The default is standard mode.

Intelligent cleaning (default mode)

The robot scans the environment, generates a map, and divides areas for cleaning. It cleans each area sequentially, filling in a Z-shape pattern. After cleaning, it returns to the charging base. For optimal map building, the robot should start from the charging base during the first cleaning session.

? Note: Do not move the robot randomly during operation. If moved, place it near its original position. When restarted, it will attempt to reposition. If successful, it continues on the planned path. If repositioning fails, it may abandon the task, build a new map, or fail to recharge.

Cleaning as required

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

? Note: Before using this function, complete map building in the mobile app during the first cleaning.

Cleaning of selected area

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

? Note:

• Complete map building in the mobile app before using this function.
• The robot may enter unplanned areas. Clear obstacles around the planned area. This area does not provide safety isolation.

Cleaning of defined area

Use the mobile app to define a specific area on the map for the robot to clean.

? Note:

• Complete map building in the mobile app before using this function.
• The robot may enter unplanned areas. Clear obstacles around the planned area. 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 not enter during cleaning.

? Note:

• Complete map building in the mobile app before using this function.
• This function is for defining cleaning areas only and cannot block dangerous areas.
• If the robot is moved or the environment changes significantly, the map may become ineffective, and restricted areas might be lost.

Scheduled cleaning

Once scheduled cleaning is set, the robot will automatically start cleaning at the designated time and return to the charging base afterward.

DND mode (Do Not Disturb)

The default DND 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.
