Preparing for use

Installing the docking station

1 Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket on the docking station (1) and insert the adapter
into the wall socket (2) (Fig. 12).
2 Place the docking station on a horizontal, level floor against a wall.
Note: Make sure that there are no obstacles or height differences 80 cm in front, 30 cm to the right
and 100 cm to the left of the docking station (Fig. 13).
Important note: deep sleep mode
In deep sleep mode, the robot does not respond at all when you press a button. To reactivate the
robot when it is in deep sleep mode:
1 Press the start/stop button on the robot to bring the robot from deep sleep mode to standby
mode.
2 Press the start/stop button on the robot (Fig. 19) or on the remote control to start the robot.
3 If the robot does not start cleaning, place it on the plugged-in docking station to recharge its
rechargeable battery.
The robot enters deep sleep mode when you press the start/stop button for 3 seconds. It may also
enter the deep sleep mode when its battery is empty. The battery may, for instance, run empty if the
robot is unable to find its docking station.
Note: You cannot get the robot out of its deep sleep mode with the start/stop button on the remote
control. You need to press the on/off button on the robot.
Charging
- When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the robot is empty, the
charging time is four hours.
- When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean for up to 100 minutes.
- Your robot can only be charged on the docking station.
Charging on the docking station
1 Press the start/stop button on the robot.
2 Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station (Fig. 14).
3 The start/stop button starts flashing slowly (Fig. 15).

16).
Charging automatically during use
1 When the robot has finished cleaning or when only 15% of the battery power remains, it
automatically searches for the docking station to recharge. When the robot searches for the
docking station, the start/stop button flashes quickly (Fig. 17).
2 When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously.
