Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire or serious injury.

1. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
2. Clear the area to be cleaned. Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that could entangle the Appliance. Tuck rug fringe under the rug base, and lift items such as curtains and tablecloths off the floor.
3. If there is a drop off in the cleaning area due to a step or stairs, you should operate the Appliance to ensure that it can detect the step without falling over the edge. It may become necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge to keep the unit from falling. Make sure the physical barrier is not a trip hazard.
4. Only use as described in this manual. Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
5. Please make sure your power supply voltage matches the power voltage marked on the Docking Station.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS For Household use only

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this docking station has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarised outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

This Device Complies with DHHS Radiation Rules, 21CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J.

Device Update

• Typically, some devices are updated bi-monthly, but not always so specific.
• Some devices, especially those that went on sale more than three years ago, will only be updated if a critical vulnerability is found and fixed.
