GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Grounding
methods. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this
appliance.
Battery and Charging
- Keep the charging dock away from heat (such as radiators).
- Do not wipe the charging contacts with wet cloth or wet hands.
- Turn the robot off and use original packaging for shipment.
- If placing the robot into storage, charge it fully and turn it off before placing it in a cool dry place. Recharge it at least every three months to prevent the battery over discharging.
- Do not use the product when the temperature is higher than 40°C (104°F) or lower than 4°C (39°F), or there is any liquid or sticky substance on the floor.

Important Information
- Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous items to prevent personal injury or property damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.
- When using the robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
