– Discharge the rechargeable battery every few months and then
recharge it. To discharge the rechargeable battery, use the device with
the charging station disconnected from the mains so that it runs out of
power. Then recharge the rechargeable battery.
You can determine the charge level of the rechargeable battery using the
charge status indicator (19) on the display (7): If the indicator is fl ashing, the
rechargeable battery is still charging; if it is no longer fl ashing and the display
turns off on its own, the device is ready for use.
Before fi rst use or if the device has not been used for a prolonged period of
time, it will take approximately 8 to 9 hours for the empty rechargeable battery
to recharge; subsequent charge times will then range from approx. 4 to 6 hours.
The rechargeable battery will reach its full charge capacity after it has been fully
discharged and recharged completely two to three times. There are two methods
for charging it: directly with the mains adapter or via the charging station.
If the rechargeable battery is completely empty and the device is unable to
travel to the charging station, it must be placed on the charging station or
charged directly via the mains adapter.
Charging directly with the mains adapter
1. Make sure that the device is in standby mode (not in vacuuming mode).
2. Connect the mains adapter cord directly to the device.
3. Insert the mains plug of the mains adapter in an easily accessible socket.
4. The charging process will then begin.
5. Disconnect the device from the power supply after approx. 4 – 6 hours. If
three bars appear on the charge level indicator after it is disconnected, then
the rechargeable battery has been fully charged.
The display will not indicate that the device is being charged when
charged with the mains adapter.
Charging via the charging station
Once the charge level of the robotic vacuum cleaner's rechargeable battery is
low, it will travel to the charging station where the rechargeable battery will be
automatically recharged. For this, the charging station must be connected to the
mains (see chapter "Charging station").
If the device fails to locate the charging station because e.g. the room is too large
and it comes to a stop, you should "give it helping hand". Use the directional
buttons on the remote control (D) to steer the device towards the charging
station or place it directly on the charging station.
While the device is vacuuming, leave the charging station connected to the
mains so that it can automatically dock and recharge for the next cleaning
cycle. To ensure that the device is properly positioned on the charging
contacts, check whether the indicator light on the charging station is red
after the device has docked.
