7. When you add a new device into your organization, make sure to add the device in the correct location AND room that it is assigned to.

6.6 Sharing the co-botic 1700 with multiple users
When setting up multiple users it is important to note that users are created on their individual phones and then they are able to share access to the machines. User accounts are not stored on the machine or in the app. User data is stored in the cloud and then each user can share a single room or the entire organization.

1. Each user should set up their own account on their own app (see Section 6.2-6.3 in this user manual)
2. To share all of the machines at a location/building, you must start from the original account that already has access to the organization.

4.  Select “Home Management”
5. Select the location or building you want to share
6. Press “Add member”
7. A dialog will open and allow you to share a code with others in your organization

10. From the “Home Management” screen, select “Join Home”
11. Enter the code from step 7

6.7 Mapping and routes
The co-botic™ 1700 will make its own map as it moves through a space. It will map either when you press the button in manual mode, or when you start it from the app. The maps are stored in the cobot and then accessed from the cobot by the app when needed.

1. Press the green start button and it will change to a pause button. This will cause the cobot to start generating the map.
2. The cobot will begin to clean while it maps and also begin to build the logic for how it will clean in the future.
3. After completion, it will continue to clean in this method every time
4. If you have a preferred cleaning pattern, you may also view and run the pattern by using the “Record” feature to look at past cleanings and maps.
5. To use Record feature, press “More”
6. Select “Record”
7. Select the date and time that you preferred
8. Press “Restore the map”
9. The cobot will load this map and route and run this same cleaning procedure.

6.8 Creating rooms, no-go zones and cleaning modes
To use zones it is important to understand the three modes of operation: Pin and go, Zone, and Auto

1. To create a no-go zone:
   a. Open the map that you want to use
   b. Select “Area” button on the right side of the screen
   c. Choose “Add area”
   d. Drag the square around the area that you do not want to cobot to clean. This is especially helpful for doorways or exits that you don’t want the cobot to go through.
   e. You can resize, rotate, and delete the zone from this screen
   f. Save your zone

2. To create rooms for cleaning

   c. Select “Create area” button to the right
   d. Drag the shape of the room out as you prefer
   e. Name the room using the pencil icon in the lower left corner of the shape
   f. Press “Start” to save the room
   g. NOTE: Selecting the “Area” button in this screen works the same as creating a no-go zone, but if you create a no-go zone here, it will also use it for zone cleaning.
   h. NOTE: Due to network latency, you may not see the rooms and no-go zones right away. Please wait up to 30 seconds when loading the map to see the zones.

3. How cleaning works in the different modes:
   a. Auto – The cobot will clean the entire map starting from the charging station
   b. Zone – The cobot will clean only the zones that have been created. It will begin cleaning the closest zone to the charger and end cleaning in the room with the charger. You can also select a zone, then press start and it will go directly to that zone.
   c. Pin and go – The cobot will clean a direct location you choose on the map. It will go to that spot and then clean 1.5 meters radius around the spot.

6.9 Using the cleaning buttons
1. The buttons at the bottom of the screen are explained below:
a. Dock – Will send the cobot back to it’s charging base. You can pause the process by pressing this button again
b. Start – Will start the cleaning process based on what mode is selected (Pin and go, Zone, or Auto)
c. Suction – Controls the power of the vacuum motor. This setting will automatically adjust depending on floor type for optimal cleaning.
