• A14 are indicated with L and R marks. Make sure the mark on the side brush matches the mark on A1.

Charging the product

• Make sure to remove all loose and fragile objects, cables, wires and cords from the floor to avoid them being damaged by the product.

• Remove the mopping kit Ad from A1 before returning the robot to Ai, to ensure safe charging and to prevent the damp mopping pad C4 from damaging the floor.

• If the charging indicator LED Au does not switch off after a reasonable time in which the battery should be fully charged, the battery may have a leakage current. In this case, replace the battery with a new one.

• When the connected battery is fully charged, the current will be reduced to prevent overcharging and gas development. This allows the battery to stay connected to the charger for a longer period without damaging the battery.

• It is still recommended to disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.
  Due the automatic voltage and current control the connected battery will always stay fully charged.

• The product is delivered with a partially charged battery. For optimal battery life, fully charge the battery before first use.

• You cannot switch the robot off or to sleep mode while the robot is charging.

1. Press the recharge button A5 to return the robot to A17.

• A16 blinks to indicate that the robot is charging.
• When charging is complete, Au lights up continuously.
• The charging time is approximately 6.5 hours.
• The robot needs to be charged for at least 20% to start scheduled cleaning.
• When the battery runs low, the robot automatically returns to Ai for charging.
• When the robot is recharged, the robot automatically returns to the point where it left off to continue cleaning.

If the robot fails to return to A17, the robot automatically returns to the starting point.
Creating a map of the rooms

• The robot needs a map to clean the desired rooms.
• You can let the robot generate a map of the room via the Nedis SmartLife app.
• The robot scans the room and automatically calculates the optimal cleaning path.
• Creating different cleaning zones on the map
• You can divide the room in multiple cleaning zones via the Nedis SmartLife app.
• Use the cleaning zones to let the robot clean specific areas in the room without having to clean the entire room.

Creating restricted zones

• Always update the restricted zones if permanent changes occur in the cleaning zones.
• Restricted zones and virtual walls can only be created in previously created cleaning zones.
• Restricted zones and virtual walls can be created in the Nedis SmartLife app.
• After the restricted zones are created, the robot will avoid the restricted zones or pass the virtual wall while cleaning.
