Please fully charge the robot before using it for the first time. To do so, place the robot on the docking station and align it to the charging terminal. When the robot is correctly plugged, the docking station light will switch off. When the white indicators on the robot are normally set on, the robot is fully charged (4-5 hours).
In order to extend the battery lifespan, always keep the robot charging on the docking station while not using it. When not using the vacuum cleaner for a long time, please fully charge the battery, switch off the robot and store the robot in a cool dry place.
