Positioning and Powering On

1. Place the Auto-Empty Station on a horizontal hard floor and connect the power supply.

   • Remove the protective film covering the charging area of your dock to ensure your device can charge correctly.
   • Organize any excess cable to prevent your power cable from being stretched by your robot while cleaning.

   • Ensure the Auto-Empty Station is placed away from stairs, other open areas and heat sources (such as heaters).
   • Do not put the Auto-Empty Station on carpets or move it frequently. If the base is moved, your robot may fail to locate itself or remove the current selected map. As such, map information (no-go zones, room names, etc.) may be lost. Your robot will create and save a new map during the next cleaning session.
