Suspending Or Ending Cleaning; Switching The Vacuum Fan On/Off; Using The Location Beacon Function; Using The On Timer/Off Timer - Makita DRC300 Instruction Manual

Suspending or ending cleaning

1. If the start/stop button is pressed during operation, the robotic cleaner comes
to a temporary stop.
If the start/stop button is pressed again, the robotic cleaner starts operating
again in the same operating mode as before stopping.
2. To quit cleaning during cleaning, press the starting point button of the remote
control when the robotic cleaner is in operation or in a temporarily stopped
state. The robotic cleaner goes back to where it started cleaning and then
enters the stand -by state.
• To quit cleaning immediately, press the mode switch button while the robotic
cleaner is in a temporarily stopped state. Then, the robotic cleaner enters the
stand -by state.
• When cleaning is ended without going back to the starting point, the cleaning
history may not be saved correctly.

Switching the vacuum fan on/off

• When cleaning visible, large dust only, turning off the vacuum fan makes the
running time about twice as long.
• The vacuum fan can be set also from the remote control or the app. (See
"Switching the vacuum fan on/off" on this page and "Operating the robotic
cleaner with the app" on page 36.)
1. With the robotic cleaner set in the stand -by state, press the setting button to
enter the setting selection mode.
2. Press the next button to make the vacuum fan lamp blink.
3. The up/down button can be used to switch between On and Off. After
selecting On or Off, press the confirmation button to finalize the setting.
• On: Vacuum fan lamp turns on.
• Off: Vacuum fan lamp turns off.
NOTICE
With the vacuum fan setting off, the filter care lamp does not light up even when
the filter is clogged.
Switching the vacuum fan on/off with the remote
control
With the robotic cleaner set in the stand -by state, the vacuum fan can be switched
on or off by pressing the vacuum fan ON/OFF button of the remote control.
Even during cleaning, the fan can be switched on or off from the remote control.

Using the location beacon function

• The robotic cleaner notifies of its own location with a buzzer sound and light.
This function is used when the robotic cleaner cannot be found because it is
cleaning a wide area or has entered a place where it cannot be found.
• As the location beacon buzzer/light button of the remote control is pressed, a
buzzer sounds for about 10 seconds, with the position LED blinking.
• To stop the location beacon function halfway, press the location beacon
buzzer/light button again.
NOTICE
• The location beacon function cannot be used in the following cases.
• When the power of the robotic cleaner is off.
• When no battery capacity remains.
• When the robotic cleaner is in a position where radio waves do not reach.
• When the battery in the remote control is exhausted.
• Although the location beacon function can be used also from the app, your
smartphone and the robotic cleaner must be connected in advance. When the
robotic cleaner is in the sleep state, the function cannot be used from the app.

Using the ON timer/OFF timer

The ON timer and OFF timer can be used at the same time.
Setting the ON timer
When a preselected time comes, the robotic cleaner starts cleaning in the selected
cleaning mode. Before setting the timer, set the time of day. (See page 22.)
1. Put the robotic cleaner into the stand -by state. (See page 15.)
2. Hold down the ON timer button to change the time setting of the ON timer.
• The changing procedure is the same as the time setting procedure (See page
22).
• The ON timer can be configured in increments of 10 minutes.
