Cleaning Mode Selection; Manual Driving - Philips FC8794 Handbuch

3 The robot cleans in auto-cleaning mode until its battery runs low. In auto cleaning mode, it follows
repeated sequences of random, wall-following and spiral movements.
4 When the battery runs low, the start/stop button starts flashing quickly and the robot starts
searching for the docking station to charge (Fig. 22).
5 You can also press the start/stop button to interrupt or stop the cleaning run. If you press the
start/stop button again and there is still enough energy in the rechargeable battery, the robot
continues cleaning in the auto cleaning mode.
6 To make the robot return to the docking station before the rechargeable battery runs low, press
the docking button on the remote control (Fig. 23).
7 The start/stop button starts flashing and the robot returns to the docking station.

Cleaning mode selection

This robot has three individual cleaning modes that can each be activated by pressing the appropriate
button on the remote control.
Random mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
24).
Wall-following mode
In this mode, the robot follows the walls of the room to give the area alongside the walls an extra
clean (Fig. 25).
Spot-cleaning mode
In this mode, the robot moves in an expanding spiral from a central point to clean the area thoroughly
(Fig. 26).
Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot
switches to auto-cleaning mode.

Manual driving

You can drive the robot manually with buttons on the remote control.
1 Use the arrow buttons above and below and to the left and right of the start/stop button on the
remote control to navigate the robot through the room. (Fig. 27)
Note: Be careful when you drive the robot manually close to height differences and staircases.
Using the 24-hour scheduler
The 24-hour scheduler can be activated with the remote control. Make sure the robot is in standby
mode and is not positioned on the docking station.
1 Press the 24-hour scheduler button (Fig. 28) on the remote control to activate the 24-hour
scheduler.
-
When you activate the 24-hour scheduler, you hear a sound and the display starts to flash
briefly every few seconds.
-
The robot will start a cleaning run 24 hours after you activated the 24-hour scheduler. It will
continue to start a cleaning run at the same time every 24 hours until you deactivate the
24-hour scheduler.
2 To deactivate the 24-hour scheduler, press the 24-hour scheduler button. You will hear a sound
and the display will light up continuously to show the robot is in standby mode and the 24-hour
scheduler is no longer active.
