use or when being used again after a long time. It only can reach its best performance
after 2-3 cycles of charging and discharging.
5.If the cleaner is switched on but stops after the short music playing, this may mean the
battery is low or off and charging is required.

The virtual wall doesn’t work.
Place the virtual wall unit in the right place. Replace
the battery for the virtual wall if the green indicator
keeps flashing.
The battery will not charge.
Check whether the battery is correctly installed and
you should hear two sounds when installing the
battery. Then check whether the contact on the front
plate and dome on the base plate is dirty. If it can’t be
charged on the base plate directly use the charger for
the unit to charge.
Cleaner can not find the
charging base plate.
The wrong mode has been selected, the robot can only
find the charging base plate under turbo and timing
mode. The base plate will produce an infrared signal and
it only returns to the base plate after finding the signal.
You should confirm the power is on for the base plate
and do not use the virtual wall near the base plate as its
signal may affect the robot’s ability to find the position of
the base plate. If the room is large, it is possible that the
cleaner won’t find the base plate after cleaning. In such
circumstances, you should replace the base plate and do
not put any obstacles within 3-4m around it.
Cleaner does not perform
timing cleaning function.
Check whether there is power failure for the charging
base plate or while in operation. If the displayed
parameters change, it should re-set them again.
