It takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the main unit. During the cleaning process, the main unit automatically checks its power level. If the power is insufficient, the main unit activates the  „Return to docking station“ mode, and automatically returns to thedocking station for charging. Alternatively, you can tap the „Return to docking station“ button in the app to activate the „Return to docking station“ mode of the main unit.

Note:

• Do not use the docking station in a highly reflective environment such as the environment exposed to direct sunlight or with mirrors nearby.
• To ensure the normal working time of the main unit, fully charge the main unit before use. The charging time is about 4-5 hours.
• To ensure the safety of charging and prevent the damp cloth from damaging the floor, remove the water tank before charging the main unit.

Product Use

Product Use/ Start cleaning

• For different cleaning needs, this product has a variety of cleaning methods to choose from. Various cleaning methods can be activated through the robot, remote control or APP.

Auto Cleaning

• Applicable scenarios: The most commonly used cleaning method, the robot cleans the whole house in a Zig-zag path according to the actual home environment.
• Setting method: In the shutdown state, long press the Power button , the robot indicator light is on to indicate that the device is turned on; Then short press the button or click the remote control Auto Cleaning button   , the robot starts automatic cleaning.

Use Instructions

Power on and off the machine
Tap and hold the button to power on the machine. Then, the power indicator is on, and the vacuum cleaner enters the standby state. When the vacuum cleaner is in a static state, press and hold the button to power off the machine and stop the current cleaning task.
Tip: The vacuum cleaner in charging state cannot be powered off.
Start cleaning
Press the button to start cleaning. Then, the vacuum cleaner dynamically plans the cleaning route according to the map generated after scanning, and completes cleaning of different zones one by one. In each zone, the vacuum cleaner  first sweeps the floor along the wall, and then moves in zigzag mode to cleanthe remaining part of the zone in an orderly and efficient manner.

Tips:

• If the power is too low, the vacuum cleaner cannot start cleaning. Therefore, charge the vacuum cleaner before starting it.
• Before cleaning, tidy up all kinds of wires on the ground (including the power cord of the docking station). Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner may drag the wires while cleaning, which may cause power failures of other electric appliance or damage to items or wires.
• If the cleaning area is less than 2 square meters, the vacuum cleaner will clean the area twice by default.
• If the power is insufficient in the cleaning process, the main unit will automatically return to the docking station for charging. After the power is sufficient, the main unit will automatically return to the interrupted point to continue cleaning (ensure that you have enabled the resumable cleaning function).

Pause cleaning
If you need to add water to the water tank or wash the mopping cloth while the vacuum cleaner is working, press the button to pause. You can press the button to continue cleaning, or press the button to return to the docking station and stop the current cleaning task.
Tip:
In pause state, if the vacuum cleaner returns to the docking station for charging, the current cleaning task is stopped.

Charge the vacuum cleaner

• Auto mode: After completing cleaning, the vacuum cleaner automatically returns to the docking station for charging.
• Manual mode: In pause state, you can press the button to activate the „Return to docking station“ mode. When the vacuum cleaner is being charged, the power indicator blinks in breathing manner.

Tip:
If the vacuum cleaner fails to find the docking station, it automatically returns to the starting point. In this case, you need to manually put the vacuum cleaner back to the docking station.

Faulty state
If the vacuum cleaner encounters a fault while working, the power indicator blinksquickly in red, and a voice prompt is generated. For details about troubleshooting method, see „Troubleshooting“.
Tips:

• In faulty state, if no operation is performed in 10 minutes, the vacuum cleaner automatically enters the sleep mode.
• In faulty state, if the vacuum cleaner returns to the docking station for charging, the current cleaning task is stopped.

Reset the Wi-Fi settings

If your mobile phone fails to connect to the vacuum cleaner due to reasons such as change of router settings and password forgotten, re-pair the vacuum cleaner with the mobile phone according to the Wi-Fi connection instructions.

PIN N GO
You can use the mobile app to specify a target point on the map. The vacuum cleaner will automatically plan the route and move to the specified point. If you  specify a target point in the app when the vacuum cleaner is in standby or pause state, the vacuum cleaner will clean the 1.6mx1.6m square zone centered on thispoint. After cleaning, the vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the starting point and stop working.

Tip:
If you activate partial cleaning when the vacuum cleaner is in pause state, the current cleaning task will be stopped.

Set a restricted zone or virtual wall
You can use the mobile app to set a restricted zone or virtual wall. After the settingis completed, the vacuum cleaner will not enter the restricted zone or cross the virtual wall for cleaning.

Tips:

• Before using this function, you need to enable the map save mode for the vacuum cleaner in the mobile app.
• This function is only used to divide cleaning zones, but cannot be used to block dangerous zones.
• If the vacuum cleaner is moved or there are significant changes in the home environment, the map may become invalid and the settings of the virtual wall or restricted zone may be lost.

Tip:
The functions and details of the app may change slightly due to continuous development and upgrade of the app. The specific functions and details of the app are subject to the actual version.

Selected zone cleaning
