Troubleshooting

The robot will not turn on.

| The battery is low. Recharge the robot on the base and try again.

The temperature of the battery is too low or too high. It is recommended to operate the appliance at a temperature between 32 ℉ (0°C) and 104 ℉ (40°C).

The robot will not charge.

| The base station is not connected to power, please make sure both ends of its power cord are correctly plugged in. The contact between the charging contacts on the base station and the robot is poor, please clean the charging contacts.

Check whether there is any foreign object at the connector of the robot and remove the foreign object if any.

The robot fails to connect to Wi-Fi.

| The Wi-Fi network password is incorrect. Make sure the password used to connect to your Wi-Fi network is correct. The robot does not support a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection. Make sure the robot is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi signal is weak. Make sure the robot is in an area with good Wi-Fi coverage.

The robot may not be ready to be configured. Please exit and re-enter the app, and then try again as instructed.

The robot cannot find and return to the base station.

| The base station is disconnected from power or moved when the robot is not on it. Please connect the base station to the power supply or place the robot onto the base station to charge.

There are too many obstructions around the base station. Place the base station in a more open area.

Moving the robot may cause it to re-position itself, and it will recreate a map if re-positioning fails. If the robot is too far from the base station, it might not be able to automatically return on its own, in which case you will need to manually place the robot onto the base station.

Wipe the signaling area on the base station to remove dust or debris.

The robot gets stuck in front of the base station and cannot return to it.

| Clear any obstruction within 5 cm on the left and right sides or within 1.5 m in front of the base station to prevent the robot from being blocked.

The route for returning to charge is blocked, e.g. the door is closed.

The robot may slip if the floor in front of the base station is overly wet. If so, clean the excess water before trying again. It is recommended to move the base station to a different place and try again.

The robot will not turn off.

| The robot cannot be turned off when it is charging. It is recommended to move the robot from the base station, and then press and hold the button  for 3 seconds to turn it off.

If the robot cannot be turned off by performing step 1, press and hold the button   for 10 seconds to forcibly turn off the robot. If the problem persists, please contact after-sales service.

The charging contacts on both the robot and the base may be dirty, please wipe them with a dry cloth.

The noise increases while the robot is operating.

| Check whether the dust box filter is clogged. If so, clean it or replace it.

A hard object may be caught in the main brush or the dust box. Check and remove any hard object. The main brush or the side brush may become tangled. Check and remove any foreign objects.

Switch the suction mode to Standard or Quiet.

The robot moves without following the set route.

| Objects such as power cords and slippers should be organized before using the robot.

Working on wet slippery surfaces may cause the main wheel to slip. It is recommended to dry any wet areas before using the robot.

Wipe the line laser sensors and the AI visual sensor on the robot with a clean, soft, and dry cloth to keep them clean and unobstructed.

The robot misses the rooms to be cleaned.

| Make sure that the doors of the rooms to be cleaned are open.

Check whether there is a threshold higher than 2 cm at the door of the room. The robot cannot climb over high thresholds or steps.

The place in front of the room to be cleaned may be wet and slippery, causing the robot to slip and work abnormally. Please try drying the floor before using the robot.

The robot will not resume cleaning after charging.

| Make sure that the robot is not set to the Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which will prevent it from resuming cleaning. The robot will not resume cleaning after you manually return the robot to the base station to charge, which includes manually placing the robot on the base station or sending the robot to charge via the app, the base station, or the robot itself.
The station cannot automatically empty the dust box.| Check whether the dust bag in the dust tank is full.

If the dust bag is not full, check whether there is any obstruction at the auto-empty vents of the robot, the base station, or the dust box. If any, clean the blocked part in time.

The water level in the washboard is abnormal.| Remove the washboard and check whether the drain is blocked and clean it. Gently press down on the used water tank to make sure it is installed correctly.

Check whether the seal on the used water tank is loose or not correctly installed, and manually reset it if so. If the problem persists, please contact the after-sales service team.
