How To Use; Cleaning; Cleaning A Room With Mapping - Makita DRC300 Instruction Manual

How To Use

Cleaning

• The robotic cleaner works in three ways:
- free cleaning mode, which does not require map registration,
- mapping cleaning mode (see "Cleaning a room with mapping" on this page),
which requires room information to be registered for cleaning, and
- manual operation using the remote control.
• Free cleaning mode is recommended for cleaning in various rooms or in an
environment that involves frequent, significant layout changes.
• For a room that cannot be adequately lighted at the time of mapping, use free
cleaning mode.
• If the remaining battery charge of the robotic cleaner gets low, the robotic cleaner
suspends cleaning and returns to the location cleaning started.
Cleaning a room with the remote control
The robotic cleaner can be operated for cleaning by pressing the action buttons of
the remote control.

1. Move forward: Press .
2. Turn left: Press .
3. Turn right: Press .
4. Move backward: While holding down
NOTICE
• Do not operate the robotic cleaner in a narrow or uneven place.
• When operating the robotic cleaner with the remote control, be careful to
avoid collisions or falls.
• If there is an obstacle in front of the moving robotic cleaner, the robotic
cleaner reverses to avoid it.
Cleaning a room without mapping (free cleaning
mode)
1. Place the robotic cleaner beside a wall of the place that you want to clean.
2. Put the robotic cleaner into the stand -by state. (See page 15.)
3. Press the mode switch button to select [F] (free cleaning mode).
Each time the mode switch button is pressed, the displayed character is
changed in the order "F, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, F, ..." (each number represents a room
number).
4. As the start/stop button is pressed, the robotic cleaner produces a sound and
starts cleaning. (When the sound setting is on)

, press .

5. As the robotic cleaner determines that cleaning is finished, the robotic cleaner
returns back to the place from which it started cleaning.
• When the sound setting is on, completion of cleaning is informed with a
sound. (See page 22.)
• The robotic cleaner calculates its own position using the LiDAR sensor and
camera sensor. For the camera sensor to function fully, it is recommended to
make the room brighter for cleaning. If the room is dark, the robotic cleaner
may not be able to clean some area or may fail to return back to the place
from which it started cleaning.

Cleaning a room with mapping

Registering room information (mapping)
• When the rooms to clean are already determined, registering room
information (registration of mapping information) in the robotic cleaner allows
the cleaning to be more efficient. After completion of mapping, it becomes
possible to check the cleaning result and set prohibited areas from the app.
• The number of rooms that can be registered is five.
• Make the room brighter during mapping.
• Keep away from the robotic cleaner during mapping.
• Do not pick up the robotic cleaner during mapping.
• The mapping fails if there are no obstacles with a height of 25 cm or more
within a radius of about 11 m of the robotic cleaner. In this case, cleaning in
free cleaning mode is recommended. (See "Cleaning a room without mapping
(free cleaning mode)" on this page)
1. Place the robotic cleaner in the place from which you want the robotic cleaner
to start cleaning.
• This starting location will be a location for cleaning to start.
• It is recommended to set the starting location near a wall, a corner of the
room, or other point that is easy to identify.
• Keep a distance of about 30 cm from a wall.
2. Put the robotic cleaner into the stand -by state. (See page 15.)
3. Select an unmapped room number by pressing the mode switch button.
• [F] is free cleaning mode. (See "Cleaning a room without mapping (free
cleaning mode)" on this page.)
• Unmapped room numbers will be displayed blinking, and the room register
lamp will be on.
• Mapped room numbers will be displayed lit, and the room register lamp will be
off.
4. As the start/stop button is pressed, the robotic cleaner starts mapping. After
mapping, the robotic cleaner goes back to where mapping began (starting
point of cleaning) and then completes room registration.
• Upon completion of mapping, the robotic cleaner enters the stand -by state. It
may take time for the robot cleaner to enter the stand -by state. Do not turn off
the power in this case.
• When the sound setting is on, completion of mapping is informed with a
sound.
• If the mapping is unsuccessful, add the mapping information manually using
the app. (See page 39.)
