Troubleshooting of Common Problems

Problem type

|

Cause and solution

---|---
Failure to power on| 1.  The battery is low. Put the robot on the docking station, and align it with the charging contacts. Move the switch at the bottom of the robot to the position “I”, so that the robot will automatically turn on (when it is completely out of power, charge it for a while first).

2.  The ambient temperature is too low (below 0°C) or too high (above 35°C). Use the

robot within the range of 0–35°C.

3.  Check the power switch at the bottom of the robot to see if it is moved to the position “I” (Note: It is possible to charge the main unit properly when the power switch is off, but the main unit can not perform ground cleaning, mop self-cleaning, or other operations).

Failure to charge| 1.  Move away the robot. Make sure the light indicator of the docking station is on, and

both ends of the power adapter of the docking station are properly connected.

2.  In case of poor contact, clean the charging contacts on the docking station and the robot.

3.  When the robot is not to be used for a long time, it will result in battery over-discharge. Therefore, before the long-time storage of the robot, it is recommended to charge the main unit fully and turn off the power switch at the bottom. Recharge the appliance every two months. In case of failure to charge after nonuse for a long time, please contact our after-sales service team.

Slow charging| 1.  Confirm the power cord of the docking station is well connected to avoid

intermittent connection.

2.  Clean the surface of the main unit and the charging contacts on the docking station.

3.  When used at high or low temperatures, the charging period is prolonged to extend battery life. Under normal conditions, it takes about 5.5 h to charge the battery from zero to full capacity.

Fast power loss| 1.  The suction power at the powerful gear is high, together with high power consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to use the standard gear or quiet gear.

2.  Make sure the appliance works in a fully charged state. Voltage is low when it is in low battery. Power loss becomes faster when it’s in low power.

---|---
Failure to recharge/find the docking station| 1.  There are too many obstacles near the docking station. Move the station to an open area,

making sure there is no obstacle 1.5 m in front of the station or 0.5 m on either side.

2.  The robot is too far from the docking station. Try to place it closer to the docking station.

3.  Movement of the docking station or power failure

4.  The recharging route is blocked. For example, the door of the room on the recharging

route is closed. Keep the recharging route smooth.

5.  The wheels of the main unit are slipping. Dry the wheel surface with a dry cloth, and remove the water on the docking station ramp and the floor.

Abnormal behavior| 1.  Shut down and restart the appliance.

The robot repeatedly cleans the same route or misses some routes, etc.| 1. Objects such as wires and slippers on the floor affect the normal service of the robot. Before allowing the robot to work, tidy the scattered wires, slippers, and other objects on the floor, and minimize the scattering of objects.

2.  The impact arising from drive wheels slipping on the ground when the main unit climbs the stairs and thresholds has resulted in the robot’s improper judgment concerning the whole house environment. It is recommended to close the door of the area and clean the area separately.

3.  The impact arising from drive wheels slipping on the ground due to reduced friction when the robot cleans the freshly waxed and polished floor has resulted in the robot’s improper judgment concerning the whole house environment. It is recommended to wait until the floor wax is completely air- dried.

4.  The radar module on the top is dirty or obscured by foreign objects. It is recommended to wipe the radar module with a clean soft cloth to remove dirt and foreign objects.

5.  Check whether there is a carpet or ground mat in this area. The robot won’t clean this area in vacuum+mop / mop mode to avoid getting wet on the carpet or ground mat.

6.  Check whether the threshold of this area is higher than 20 mm. If it’s higher than 20 mm, the robot cannot go across the threshold. You can prepare a threshold bar to help the robot to go across the threshold to continue the work.

7.  Do you follow the robot when it works to avoid missing cleaning of any area because of obstacle avoidance? If problems cannot be solved by the above operations, you can specify the robot to clean the missing areas by using a user-defined function in the application.
