Tips:

• During the first cleaning process, it is recommended to follow the robot throughout the whole process to deal with some potential problems, so as to ensure smooth cleaning in the future.
• If some areas do not need to be cleaned or may cause robot stuck, you can set an exclusion zone in the mobile APP to prevent the robot from entering the above areas.
• Do not use the robot to pick up hard or sharp objects (such as decoration wastes, glass, nails, etc.), otherwise, the robot and the floor may be scratched.

Assembly

1. Place the dock on a hard and level ground.

2. Plug the power cord in place as shown in the figure, check and confirm the indicator on the dock lights up, and wrap excess wire back to the cable holder according to the actual condition.
   Tips: The power cord can be led out from both the left and the right side of the cord holder.

Positioning the dock
Place the dock on a hard and level ground (such as wood floor, tile, etc.) against a wall, make sure a clearance of 0.5 m is reserved on both sides, and a clearance of 1.5m is reserved in front. Make sure the place has good WiFi coverage to ensure better mobile APP experience, and then connect the power supply.

Tips:

• Vertically arranged power cord may be caught and dragged by the robot and result in dock moving or power cut.
