Inserting the rechargeable battery

You have to insert the rechargeable battery before use.

Put the robot on a flat and stable surface in front of you with the bumper towards you.

Press the two ribbed areas on the dust container compartment cover firmly to unlock

it (Fig. 8).

Slide the cover off the robot (Fig. 9).

Push the plug of the rechargeable battery onto the connector in the rechargeable battery

cavity.

Note: The plug only fits on the connector in one way: with the tab on the side of the hook on the

connector (Fig. 10).

Place the rechargeable battery in the rechargeable battery cavity (Fig. 11).

Slide the dust container compartment cover back onto the robot until it locks into

position (Fig. 12).

Note: Make sure the two cover latches slide into the appropriate holes in the housing of the robot. The

robot does not work and the dust compartment indicator flashes when the cover latches have not been

inserted properly (see chapter ‘Using your robot’, section ‘Indicator signals and their meaning’).

Preparing for use

Charge the battery for at least 4 hours each time to ensure the rechargeable battery performs best

and has a long life. A fully charged battery gives you a cleaning time of approximately 50 minutes on

hard floors.

Charging

Make sure the on/off switch is in ‘off’ position when you start charging the robot.

Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket for the small plug on the robot. Insert the

adapter into a wall socket (Fig. 13).

When the rechargeable battery is charging, the battery indicator flashes slowly (Fig. 14).

When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the battery indicator lights up

continuously (Fig. 15).

Note: It is possible that the on/off switch is still in ‘on’ position while charging. In that case, the robot will

not work when you press the on/off switch once to start a new cleaning run. You have to press the on/off

switch a second time to switch on the robot.

Using your robot

preparing for cleaning

Before you switch on the robot, clear the floor of loose objects such as toys, magazines and

shoes. Remove mains cords, wires and the pull cords of curtains or blinds from the floor.

Remove the small plug from the socket on the robot if it is still inserted (Fig. 16).

Note: The robot does not operate when it is connected to the mains. Therefore, always disconnect the

adapter from the robot and the mains before use.
Note: Always store the adapter in a safe place before you switch on the robot.

Make sure the dust container is empty and the filter is properly installed.
