IMPORTANT
• Start the cleaner, then fully submerge in the water to start
cleaning cycle.
• At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from the pool
and recharge.
• Clean the filter canister after each cleaning cycle.
• Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a permanent basis.
The Polaris robotic cleaner includes a safety feature that automatically
stops the cleaner if it is powered on but not submerged in water.
For pools equipped with a beach area, this safety feature is
programmed to drive the cleaner in reverse and back into the pool
when the impeller is out of the water.
5.
Before using the cleaner for the first time, fully
charge the cleaner until the battery indicator
shows solid green.
6.
Dry the cleaner and charging contacts, then
charge the cleaner before every cleaning
cycle. The battery indicator slowly blinks
orange while charging, slowly blinks green
when it can be used to run a cycle, and shows
solid green when fully charged.
7.
You can check the current charge level in the
app whenever the cleaner is on the charging
station and connected to WiFi.
8.
The cleaner goes into deep sleep after 8 days
of inactivity to protect the battery. When
all indicators are off, the cleaner is in sleep
mode. Re-set the cleaner on the charging
base to wake up. If this does not work, see
Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent
injury, electrocution or drowning.
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE
• U.S.: Per NEC
requirements, keep the charging station at least
®
five (5) ft. (1.5 m) from the edge of the pool. CANADA: Per CEC
requirements, keep the charging station at least three (3) m (10
ft.) from the edge of the pool.
• Only connect the charging station to a receptacle protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a certified
electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected
by a GFCI.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect the charging station.
• Do not allow anyone to swim while the cleaner is in the pool.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge cleaner outside
of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging
