Using Your RoboVac

Important Tips Before Use

1. Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac. You can use the supplied cable ties to organize your wires and power cords.
2. Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
3. Keep RoboVac away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent RoboVac from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
4. Keep RoboVac away from wet areas.
5. RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
6. Anti-drop sensors can prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops in most cases. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on carpeted/ reflective/very dark-colored floors. It is recommended to place physical barriers to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.

Preparation

1. Install the side brushes before use.
2. Turn on the main power switch on the bottom of RoboVac.
   

   💡Remove the sticker next to the power switch, and the foam blocks beside the bumper before use.

3. Place the Charging Base on a level surface and against a wall.
4. Remove objects within 3 ft/1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft/2 m of the front of the Charging Base. If you cannot remove the objects, check whether RoboVac can return to the Charging Base normally; if not, contact eufy customer service for help.
5. Connect the round connector of the adapter into the power socket on the Charging Base and the other end into a wall outlet.
   • When the Charging Base connects to AC power, the LED indicator on the Charging Base is SOLID WHITE.

Charge Your RoboVac

• RoboVac has a pre-installed rechargeable battery that has to be fully charged before use.
