NOTE: The left battery slot (when facing the front of
the cleaner) has priority over the right battery slot.
The right battery slot will only be identified as a power
source, either when no battery is installed in the
left battery slot or the battery in the left battery slot
becomes empty.
NOTE: You can remove the battery from the left
battery slot and recharge it after the cleaner has
switched its power source from the left battery slot to
the right without ceasing operation. To give priority
back to the left battery slot after installing a recharged
battery, restart the cleaner.
With a single battery
Only one battery is required as a power source in either
the left or right battery slot. The cleaner automatically
determines which battery slot is available according to
operating conditions.
Installation and uninstallation
To install battery cartridges, release the lock first,
and open the battery cover. Then insert the battery
cartridges.
► Fig.3: 1. Lock 2. Battery cover
Align the tongues on the battery cartridges with the
grooves in the battery housing and slip them into place.
Insert them all the way until they lock in place with a
little click.
Then lock the battery cover.
► Fig.4: 1. Battery cartridge 2. Button
To remove the battery cartridges, slide them out of the
battery housing while pressing and holding the buttons
in front of the cartridges.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the appli-
ance, causing injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
NOTE: When the cleaner switches the power source
from the first battery to the second, it may require a
temporary halt in operations, causing a slight loss of
suction. Please note that it is not malfunction so the
cleaner recovers and resumes operations immedi-
ately after the pause.

capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
