Status Displays; Initial Start-Up - Kärcher RCV 3 Bedienungsanleitung

The cleaning robot has fall sensors that detect stairs
and steps and prevent falls, as well as collision sensors
that detect and avoid obstacles.
The battery for the cleaning robot is charged in the
charging station.
If the cleaning robot starts the cleaning work from the
charging station, it returns to the charging station when
the battery charge is insufficient.
As soon as the charging process is finished, the clean-
ing robot automatically leaves the charging station and
continues the cleaning work. The cleaning robot also re-
turns to the charging station when it has finished clean-
ing.
