• Maytronics is not liable for any loss or injury caused by improper use of the device.

1. Use only the original battery and battery charger provided.
2. Keep the device out of the reach of children, vulnerable persons (with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities), and persons who lack the required knowledge and experience. Users must receive appropriate instruction and supervision before using the device. Do not allow children to perform cleaning or maintenance tasks.
3. Be careful when handling the battery casing to avoid the risk of fire and/or burns. Do not open it or crush it and do not place it near a source of heat.
4. Do not insert hands and/or fingers into the impeller motor area.
5. Remove the robotic pool cleaner from the pool before allowing people to enter the pool.
6. Always switch OFF the device before cleaning the filters and /or examining the robot.
7. Be careful when lifting the device to avoid bodily injury.
8. Do not use the device and/or its battery in case of any mechanical damage.
9. Do not use an extension cord to connect the battery charger to electric socket.
   Use only an appropriately located power outlet.
10. In case the power cord is damaged the entire charger must be replaced with original.
11. Place the battery charger at least 3.5 m / 12 ft from the pool edge during operation.
12. Place the battery charger at least 11 cm / 4 in above the ground to protect users against electric shock.
13. Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA to power up the battery charger.
    For USA/Canada installations:
    • The battery charger should be connected only to a power supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). This GFCI should also be tested on a routine basis.
    • To test the GFCI, push the Test button. The GFCI should interrupt the power. Push the Reset button. The power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective.
    • If the GFCI interrupts power to the battery charger without the Test button being pushed, a ground current may be flowing, indicating the possibility of electric shock. Do not use the battery charger. Disconnect the battery charger and contact the manufacturer for assistance.
14. The Lithium-Ion battery should be recycled at a certified battery electronics recycler. Batteries should NOT be discarded as waste or placed in municipal recycling bins. Do not disassemble the battery.
15. Before cleaning impeller make sure the robot is properly turned OFF and the
    out-of-water sensor is dry, then follow the instructions in section 8.

IMPELLER CLEANING PROCESS

• When the red LED indicator starts flashing and the robot announces a “Pumping motor issue,” the likely cause could be a clogged impeller. This causes the robot to struggle to vacuum and climb even if the filter is clean.
• Please follow the instructions below carefully to resolve the issue.

1. Turn OFF the robot Press and hold the button until there is a voice indication, “Goodbye”.
2. Ensure the metallic out-of-water sensors are completely dry by wiping with a tissue or towel.
3. Remove 2 screws to take off the impeller cover.
4. Carefully remove debris from the impeller area (with a tweezer or a similar tool). Gently return the cover and screws.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• Before inserting a new battery, clean up the water droplets and sand or other foreign objects from the device.
• Before replacement of the battery, ensure the complete evaporation of moisture.

To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the six screws fixed to the holding plate and extract the used battery.
2. Insert the new battery in the same position where the used battery was previously.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Question	Answer
What pool is the Sonar 30 suitable for?	The Sonar 30 is recommended for standard pools up to 32.8 ft in length.
Why doesn’t the cleaner respond after turning on the machine?	The battery may have discharged due to extended delivery or storage. Please charge the device. The LED indicator will light up steady RED during the charging process. In some models, the LED may flash GREEN while charging.
How to charge my Sonar 30?	Charge your Niya in a shaded, dry area with a GFCI outlet. Do not use an extension cord to connect the battery charger to the electrical socket. For user safety, place the battery charger at least 4 feet above the ground while in use. Connect the robot to the electrical socket using the provided battery charger. The LED indicator will light up steady RED during the charging process. In some models, the LED may flash GREEN while charging. When the device is fully charged, the LED indicator will show steady GREEN. After 10 minutes, it will turn off automatically. Disconnect the charger from the robot and the electrical socket.
What is the issue when the cleaner lights up with a purple LED indicator?	The purple LED indicator means that the cleaner is stuck. Pull the cleaner out of the water. When the blue LED indicator starts to flash, place it back in the pool to continue the cleaning process.

Question	Answer
Why does the cleaner automatically switch off after a few hours of charging?	The device is designed to shut off automatically in 10 minutes after being fully charged to protect the battery and ensure its lifespan.
Why is the robot not cleaning effectively?	The device may absorb a significant amount of debris quickly when placed in a dirty pool. Check and clean the filters if needed.
Why can’t the cleaner clean the wall or waterline?	The device may contain too much debris in the filter basket. This could weaken its suction capacity.
Why can’t the cleaner climb the wall?	There may be dirt or debris in the filter basket. Remove the basket and clean it. If the filter is clean and the robot still doesn’t climb properly, clean the impeller. Follow the instructions in section 8.
