Overview of Remote Controller

The remote controller allows you to remotely control the robot vacuum to move around in the room or change the cleaning mode within 4 meters.

Note:
Install two AAA/LR03 batteries before using the remote controller for the first time. If the distance of remote control gets shorter or the indicator light becomes dimmer, please replace the batteries for proper operation. When using the remote controller to remotely control the robot vacuum, please aim the remote controller at the robot and make sure there is no obstacle between them that blocks the infrared signal.

IMPORTANT:
Since the infrared beam of the remote controller signal is in a band similar to that of the charging dock signal, it is normal if there is any signal delay for the robot vacuum when it gets too close to the charging dock.

Installation

Important

1. Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous objects to prevent personal injury or property damage due to things becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.

2. If using this robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
