ATTENTION:
Make sure you charge the batteries fully
and then discharge them fully before using
for the first time. Otherwise the batteries'
service life would be reduced.
The rechargeable batteries must be charged
before working with the appliance. To do this:
1. Make sure that that appliance is switched
off.
2. Put the appliance on its back as shown
(Fig. 11/B).
3. Insert the mains adapter into the charger
socket on the bottom of the appliance
(Fig. 11/A).
4. Connect the mains adapter to a socket
that carries the same voltage as that indi-
cated on the mains adapter's type plate.
5. Now let the batteries charge for about six-
teen hours until the on/off button emits a
continuous blue light. A short melody
sounds. The on/off button shows the
charging progress as follows (Fig. 11/B):
- flashes red: appliance is charging
- flashes blue: batteries are approx. 80%
charged.
- continuous blue light: batteries are fully
charged.
6. If a continuous blue light is coming from
the on/off button, pull the power cord out
from the socket and then from the appli-
ance (Fig. 11/C).
NOTE:
Do not recharge the appliance again until a
continuous red light is emitted from the on/
off button. Subsequent charging cycles will
take approx. 14 hours.
7. Take this opportunity to attach a floor
cloth, ZChapter 5.1, "Attach floor cloth".
ATTENTION:
Never operate the sweeping robot without a
floor cloth attached. Otherwise, surfaces
might be damaged.
