• New battery packs reach their full capacity after approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles.
• Charge battery packs that have not been used for a long time before use.
• The battery pack cannot be charged outside the permissible temperature value range. The battery pack display then shows the temperature symbol.
• If the display does not show anything during the charging process, please follow the notes in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.
• The charging current and the necessary charging time is temperature-dependent for safety reasons.

CAUTION

Incorrectly inserted battery pack

• Risk of injury or damage due to the cleaning robot falling.

When used in the device, the contacts of the battery pack are protected against spray water. Ensure that the battery pack engages correctly. With the battery pack removed, make sure that no water gets on the electrical contacts of the battery pack and the device. If there is water there, dry it immediately (by wiping it off / shaking it out) and place the battery pack with the contacts facing down so that the water can drain off. Do not use any heat sources for drying.
