Locating the Robotic Cleaner
This feature is useful for locating the Robotic Cleaner
which may be out of sight on a large floor with desks,
cabinets, and other fixtures.
Press the Location beacon button on the remote
control (Fig. G-3) while the Robotic Cleaner is in
standby or sleep mode. The buzzer beeps for approx.
10 seconds and the pilot lamp flashes.
To stop the buzzer and flashing, press the
beacon button again.
NOTE: There may be cases where the Robotic
Cleaner does not respond because the Robotic
Cleaner is out of range of the remote control. The
problem can be resolved by pressing the
beacon button while you are moving around the floor.
Using the auto-on timer
This feature enables the Robotic Cleaner to start
cleaning automatically after the specified time.
As the setting is cleared once the auto-timed cleaning
is completed, perform the following procedure to
reactivate the auto-on timer.
1. In standby mode, repeatedly press the
button on the Robotic Cleaner (Fig. F-6) or on the
remote control (Fig. G-5). Each time you press the
button, the setting changes in the following order:
Lamp status
2. Press the POWER button (Fig. F-8) on the
Robotic Cleaner to activate the auto-on timer. The
Robotic Cleaner enters sleep mode.
To clear the timer in standby mode, press and hold
the POWER button (Fig. F-8) on the Robotic Cleaner
until all indicators go off, or press the
button (Fig. G-1) on the remote control.
NOTICE: If the status of both right and left battery
indicators is or
activate and cleaning may not start automatically.
NOTICE: Changes of settings or starting of cleaning
operations are not possible in this mode.
NOTICE: The auto-on timer setting is cleared if the
batteries are completely discharged.

Confining the Robotic Cleaner to a particular
area
Boundary tape (Fig. L-1) and the boundary-sensing
feature that employs infrared sensors, enable the
Robotic Cleaner to avoid the following areas (Fig. L-2):
• An area that is divided into sections because the
entire floor is so large that the Robotic Cleaner
cannot clean the floor at a time
• An area where fragile articles are present that the
Robotic Cleaner could damage
• An area full of goods and fixtures, barriers, or of
an intricate shape, resulting in the Robotic Cleaner
getting stuck
• An area in the vicinity of a staircase
• An area with a low barrier that the Robotic Cleaner
can climb over and fall down to a lower floor, or that
the Robotic Cleaner will get stuck on
Preparations
1. Select an even and smooth surface on the floor
where you plan to place the boundary tape, and
then clean the surface.
2. Place the boundary tape so that the side with the
short bars is adjacent to the cleaning area and there
are no air bubbles between the tape and the floor.
NOTICE: Be sure to use only genuine boundary tape.
Using a tape other than the genuine article might risk
malfunctioning of the boundary-sensing feature.
NOTICE: Do not place the boundary tape on uneven
surfaces that may cause erroneous detection or
on surfaces where the tape may become soiled or
damaged.
NOTICE: Be aware that some adhesive agent may
remain on floors, or the floor may be damaged when
you remove the boundary tape.
NOTICE: Keep the boundary tapes clean and check
if any positions torn or ripped. If the tape is damaged,
replace it.
WARNING: Do not place the boundary tape in
any area where an accident occurs resulting from
the Robotic Cleaner entering the area or the Robotic
Cleaner falling down from the area. In such a case,
place objects whose height is 15 cm or higher and
that are heavy enough to withstand the impact of the
Robotic Cleaner, in place of the boundary tapes.
Operations
In standby mode, press the
(Fig. F-11) on the Robotic Cleaner to activate the
boundary sensor (Fig. O-2).
The lamp (Fig. F-11) lights up.
To deactivate the boundary sensor, press
the Boundary sensor button again.
NOTICE: This setting is not possible in sleep mode
with the auto-on timer activated.
