Installation

1. Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous objects to prevent personal injury or property damage due to things becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.
   
2. If using this robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
   

Note: When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for major obstacles. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.

Position the charging dock

Keep the Charging Dock on a level surface, flat against a wall. Connect the power cable to the Charging Dock and tidy cables from the floor. To ensure a better user experience of the mobile app, place the Charging Dock in an area with good WiFi coverage.

Note:

• Allow at least 0.5m (1.6ft) of clearance on each side, and more than 1.5m (4.9ft) in front of the Charging Dock.
• If the power cable hangs vertical to the ground, it may be caught by the robot, causing the Charging Dock to be disconnected.
• The Charging Dock indicator is on when the Charging Dock is electrified, and off when the robot is charging.
• Do not place the Charging Dock in places that are directly exposed to sunlight, and do not block the Location Beacon. Otherwise the robot may not be able to automatically return to the Charging Dock.
• Use double-sided tape to stick the Charging Dock down.

Secure the charging dock with the adhesive tape

Wipe the floor of the area where the charging dock will be placed with a dry cloth, then secure the dock in place using double-sided tape at the bottom of the dock.

Note:

• Use of the double-sided tape to secure the charging dock is optional.
• When necessary, remove the double-sided adhesive tape slowly to reduce residue glue.

Power on and charge the robot

Press and hold the button to power on the robot. When the power light goes on, place it on the dock to charge. To maintain the performance of the high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack, keep the robot charged.

White: Battery level ≥ 20%
Red: Battery level < 20%

Note: The robot may not turn on when the battery is low. In this case, place the robot directly onto the dock to charge.

Mopping the floor

Note: To prevent excessive buildup of dirt on the mop, floors should be vacuumed at least three times before the first mopping cycle.

1. Remove the water tank
   Release the water tank latch and slide the tank backward.
   
2. Fill the water tank
   Open the water tank, fill it with water, and close it tightly.
   
   Note:
   • Fill with water only. Cleaning fluids and/or disinfectants may corrode the water tank.
   • Use cold/room temperature water only. Hot water may cause water tank deformation.
3. Reinstall the water tank
   Slide the water tank along the grooves until you hear it click in place.
   
4. Install the VibraRise mop cloth
   Wet the VibraRise mop cloth and squeeze to remove excess water. Slide it along the attachment slot and stick it firmly in place.
   
   Note: Clean the VibraRise mop cloth after 60 minutes of mopping to maintain water flow and cleaning quality.
5. Install the VibraRise mop cloth mount
   Slide the VibraRise mop cloth mount along the bottom of the water tank until you hear it click in place.
   
   Note: Only use the official VibraRise mop cloth with this product.
6. Remove the VibraRise mop cloth mount
   After returning to the dock, remove the VibraRise mop cloth mount by pressing both side latches and sliding back.
   

Note:

• Wash the VibraRise mop cloth after each use, and regularly empty the water tank of unused water.
• Remove the VibraRise mop cloth mount when not mopping. The water tank can be kept in place.

Risk of injury. Do not place your finger between VibraRise mop cloth mount and water tank.
