REMOTE CONTROL

INSTALLATION OF THE ROBOT & AUTO STATION

AUTO STATION

1. Lay the auto station on flat ground over 5cm away from the wall, insert the power plug into the socket, meet the requirements, and connect the power supply.
2. Ensure that there are no obstacles within 1.5m in front of the auto station and 0.5m on both sides.

PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

1. Install the brushes. Make the left-side brush (L) and the right-side brush (R) correspond to L and R on the bottom casing, keep pressing the side brushes.
   They are installed when you hear a “click” sound.

2. Place the 2-in-1 combi water tank in the robot.

3. Fully charge the robot (before 1st-time use)

4. Connect with the Bluebot app (optional)

5. Start cleaning

NOTE

• Please do not move the auto station without reason and keep it out of direct sunlight.
• If the auto station is relocated, the robot may fail in positioning and lose the map. When restarted, the robot will rebuild and memorize the map. In the rebuilt map the cleaning information for forbidden areas and other areas may have been lost.
• Direct sunlight will interfere with the recharging signal and consequently, the robot may be unable to return to the charging/ auto station.
• The robot cannot be used to remove liquids.
• If the battery level is less than 20% the machine will not work. Please charge it.
• The machine will return to the auto station automatically if the battery level is less than 20% when in use and will be powered off and then start cleaning automatically after the battery level reaches 80%.
• Please clear various wires (including the power line of the auto station) from the ground before use to avoid outage and damage of objects or wires when wires are dragged by the robot.

INSTALLATION OF MOPPING MODULE

1. Paste the mopping cloth flat onto the bottom of the water tank.
2. Fill the water tank: uncap the cover and fill it with water.
3. Press and hold the button in the middle of the tank and push it horizontally along the rear of the robot. The module is correctly in place if you hear the sound of a “click”.
4. Remove the mopping module
   When the robot is finished working, press the button in the middle of water tank to remove the mopping module backwards, empty the water in the water tank and clean the mopping cloth (do not move or turn the robot over during cleaning).

NOTES FOR MOPPING MODULE

• Please do not use the mopping module after it has been left unused.
• For safety reasons, please be sure to remove the mopping module when it is being charged or left unused.
• Please do not mop the carpet. Set a forbidden area in the Bluebot app to prevent the machine from going onto the carpet.
• To achieve a better mopping e#ect, the mopping module should be installed after taking out and reassembling the mopping module according to step 3. Please do not move or turn the robot over, otherwise, it could fail in its positioning, lose its map and “forget” the forbidden areas that are programmed.
• The mopping function of the machine is intended for wiping and is not conducive to deep cleaning. It cannot remove intractable stains e#ectively and replace the labour force.
• Please don’t use any detergent in the water tank to prevent clogging.

USAGE OF THE ROBOT & AUTO STATION

REMOVE THE LIMIT BAR
Put the robot on the flat indoor ground, and remove the protection device of the limit bar at both ends of the front bumper.

CHARGING OF THE ROBOT
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to start the robot, and then short- press the button to make the robot recharge automatically. The robot is ready once fully charged.

• Fully charge the robot before starting cleaning.
• Before starting the cleaning, tidy away the wires and articles on the ground to avoid damage caused by winding, dragging and hitting during cleaning.
• It is suggested to start the robot at the auto station.
• When the battery is low during the cleaning, the robot will automatically return to the auto station for charging, and automatically return to the interrupted place to continue cleaning when the battery is full.

CLEANING MODE
After the robot is powered on, it will scan and generate the map and divide it into areas intelligently. Then sweep the areas one by one along the wall orderly, efficiently and thoroughly, and plan the cleaning route in a bow/S shape. The robot will return to the charging station automatically after cleaning.

NOTE
Do not move the robot casually and frequently when it is cleaning. After moving, please put the robot near the original position. When it starts again, it will try to reposition itself. After successful positioning, it would follow the planned path and continue to work. If the positioning fails, the robot would abort the previous mission, make a map and do the cleaning again.

SPOT CLEANING
When a local area needs a deep sweep, the user specifies a point on the map on the APP, the machine will automatically drive to the vicinity of the point, take the point as the center, and clean within 1.5m x 1.5m.
PARTIAL CLEANING
When the robot cannot be controlled by the mobile APP, please remove the robot to the place you want to clean. Long press the button for 3 seconds, and the robot will clean twice within the scope of 2mx2m centering on itself .
