Turning The Power On/Off; What To Set Up Before Cleaning - Makita DRC300 Instruction Manual

Turning the power on/off

• As the power is turned on, the robotic cleaner enters the stand -by state. In the
stand -by state, it is possible to do cleaning, change settings, and establish
connection to the app.
• If the robotic cleaner, remote control, or the app have not been operated for
approximately 30 minutes in the standby state, the power will shut off. (If the
smartphone connection lamp is lit in the above case, the power will not shut off.)
• Turn off the power at the end of operation and at the time of storage.
• When the robotic cleaner is in the sleep state, communication from the app is
not possible.
• When the power of the robotic cleaner is off, the robotic cleaner cannot be
operated from the remote control or the app.
How to turn on the power
1. With the power of the robotic cleaner off, press the start/stop button of the
robotic cleaner.
2. Wait without operating until the time is displayed.
When the robotic cleaner is used for the first time, time setting is necessary
first. Set the time of day. (See page 22.)

1. [LOAd] flashes in the time indicator, and the four clean level lamps turn
on and off clockwise. The switching speed of the lamps increases as the
startup progresses.
2. After all the lamps are lit, the robotic cleaner startup is complete (standby
state).
How to turn off the power
Hold down the start/stop button of the robotic cleaner, or press the power OFF
button of the remote control.
As the power is turned off completely, the display and lamps of the robotic cleaner
turn off. Therefore, wait without removing the batteries.
When finished using the robotic cleaner, or when storing it, turn off the power and
remove the batteries.
NOTICE
Do not remove the batteries before the power is turned off completely (before the
display and lamps turn off). The saved map information and cleaning history may
be deleted.

The remaining capacity is a rough indication and can vary depending on
the operating conditions, room temperature, battery type, and battery power
consumption, etc.

What to set up before cleaning

Before cleaning, make settings for the robotic cleaner as required.
Switching the vacuum fan on/off
In the case of cleaning of visible large dust only, turning off the vacuum fan allows
the running time to be longer. For how to switch the vacuum fan on/off, refer to
page 18.
Switching the sound setting on/off
When the sound setting of the robotic cleaner is off, the robotic cleaner cleans
silently. (See page 22.)
Setting the boundary-sensing feature
With the boundary -sensing feature on, the robotic cleaner recognizes magnetic
boundary line set up on a floor surface. Magnetic boundary line serves as a
boundary line, and the robotic cleaner does not go beyond the magnetic boundary
line; that is, the running area can be limited. For how to set the boundary -sensing
feature, refer to page 20.
