Problem
The rechargeable battery
can no longer be charged
or runs empty very fast.
The battery of the
remote control runs
empty too fast.
The robot is moving in
circles.
Possible cause
The filter in the dust container
is dirty.
The suction opening in the
bottom of the dust container is
clogged.
The front wheel is jammed
with hair or other dirt.
The robot is cleaning a very
dark or shiny surface, which
triggers the drop-off sensors.
This causes the robot to move
in an unusual pattern.
The robot is cleaning a floor
that reflects sunlight quite
strongly. This triggers the drop-
off sensors and causes the
robot to move in an unusual
pattern.
The rechargeable battery has
reached the end of its life.
Perhaps you did not insert the
correct type of battery.
The robot is in spot-cleaning
mode.
Solution
Clean the filter in the dust container with
a cloth or a toothbrush with soft bristles.
You can also clean the filter and dust
container with a regular vacuum cleaner
at a low suction power setting.
If brushing or vacuuming does not help
to clean the filter, replace the filter with
a new one. We advise you to replace the
filter at least once a year.
Clean the suction opening (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
Clean the front wheel (see chapter
'Cleaning and maintenance').
Press the start/stop button and then
move the robot to a lighter colored
piece of the floor. If the problem
continues to occur on lighter colored
floors, please go to
www.philips.com/support or contact the
Consumer Care Center in your country.
Close the curtains to block sunlight from
entering the room. You can also start
cleaning when the sunlight is less bright.
Have the rechargeable battery replaced
by a Philips service center (see chapter
'Replacement').
For the remote control, you need a
CR2025 coin-shaped battery. If the
problem persists, go to
www.philips.com/support or contact the
Consumer Care Center in your country.
This is normal behavior. The spot-
cleaning mode can be activated when a
lot of dirt is detected on the floor for a
thorough clean. It is also part of the auto
cleaning mode. After approximately one
minute the robot resumes its normal
cleaning pattern. You can also stop the
spot-cleaning mode by selecting a
different cleaning mode on the remote
control.
