How your robot avoids height differences
Before first use
Mounting the side brushes
4 Spiral pattern
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed
sequence:z-pattern, random pattern, wall-following pattern, and spiral
pattern.
When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in
Z-pattern again. The robot continues to use this sequence of patterns to
clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched
off manually.
If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run, it
switches to spiral mode and switches to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough
dirt removal.
Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the
appropriate button on the remote control. The manually selected modes are
only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot switches back to
auto-cleaning mode.
For more details, see chapter 'Using your robot', section 'Cleaning modes'.
The robot has three drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off
sensors to detect and avoid height differences such as staircases.
Note: It is normal for the robot to move slightly over the edge of a height
difference, as its front drop-off sensor is located behind the bumper.
Caution: In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or
other height difference in time. Therefore monitor the robot carefully the
first few times you use it, and when you operate it near a staircase or
another height difference. It is important that you clean the drop-off
sensors regularly to ensure the robot continues to detect height
differences properly (see chapter ' Cleaning and maintenance' for
instructions).
1 Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or
on the floor.
