The remote control works on a CR2025 coin-shaped battery. This battery is protected with a
protection tag that has to be removed before use.

Now the remote control is ready for use.

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. 11).
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. 12).
Important note: deep sleep mode
How to reset the robot when it is in deep sleep mode (robot does not respond):
- Set the power switch to 'on' position (Fig. 13).
- Charge the robot. After a few seconds the robot will respond again.
Note: The robot will enter deep sleep mode every time you set the power switch to 'off' position and
when the battery is empty. The battery may, for instance, run empty if the robot is unable to find its
docking station.
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.
Charging on the docking station
1 Set the power switch to 'on' position (Fig. 13).
2 Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station (Fig. 14).
3 The start/stop button starts flashing slowly (Fig. 15).
4 When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously (Fig.
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.
