INSTRUCTIONS
1. Charging the BOT
A/C CHARGING - Open the adapter charging port (10) and plug the A/C adapter into a standard 110V outlet. The CHARGE light (3) on the display panel will start to flash blue. When charging is complete the BOT will start to beep and the CHARGE light will turn solid. Disconnect the adapter and seal the adapter charging port. The CHARGE light will turn off.
SOLAR CHARGING - The BOT needs to be in the sun to solar charge. Place the BOT in the pool. Press and hold the on/off button (2) until it beeps, then release. The solar charging light (4) will start to flash green. When charging is complete the solar charging light will be solid. The BOT will continue to run even after the sun goes down until the charge is depleted unless you turn the unit off. The BOT will auto start on the next day after a few hour of the solar panels (1) being exposed to sunlight.
NOTE: If your pool is not exposed to full sun it is best to first charge the BOT with the AC adapter.
2. Using the BOT
Once the BOT is charged place it in the pool. Press and hold the on/off button (2) until it beeps, then release. The left and right propulsion fans (11) and rolling brush (13) will start to rotate. The left and right headlights will start to flash green. To stop the BOT press and hold the on/off button until the BOT beeps, then release.
3. BOT functions
Cleaning mode function
To change the speed of the propulsion fans and roller press and release the on/off button to switch between quick cleaning mode (SPORT) and slow cleaning mode (NORMAL).
Barrier and escape function
When the radar senses obstacles such as the pool wall, it will automatically change direction. When the BOT enters the blind zone or is trapped, it will automatically reverse and turn to escape.
Automatic adjustment of cleaning direction
The BOT will automatically change direction to clean the longest stretch of water.
Self-start function
When the BOT is solar charged it will continue to run even after the sun goes down until the charge is depleted. The BOT will auto start on the next day after a few hour of the solar panels being exposed to sunlight.
Fault prompt function
If the brush motor is blocked or stuck, the tail light will flash red indicating the brush needs to be cleaned or unblocked.
Status Indicators
