Charging
When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the robot is empty,
the charging time is four hours.
Your robot can be charged in two ways:
- On the docking station, either manually or automatically during use;
- By connecting the robot directly to the mains
Note: When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean for up to 100 minutes.

it automatically returns to the docking station to recharge. When the robot returns to the
docking station, the on/off indicator flashes quickly (Fig. 19).

robot stops flashing.
Note: The robot only returns to the docking station automatically when it started cleaning from the
