Operating and Programming

Notes before Cleaning

Before operating DEEBOT, take a few moments to survey the area to be cleaned and remove any obstacles.

Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that could entangle the product.

This product cleans bare floors and shortpile carpet. It is not designed to clean longpile or shag carpet.

Please be aware that the robot needs at least a 9 cm (3.5") clearance to clean under furniture without complications.

If there is a step or stairs in the cleaning area, please operate DEEBOT to ensure its Anti-Drop Sensors can detect the drop off. It may be necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge of the drop off to keep the unit from falling over the edge.

Quick Start

* Remove the Bumper Rail protection sponges on both sides of the DEEBOT before the first use.

1. Charging Dock Placement

• Place the Charging Dock on a level floor surface against the wall with the base perpendicular to the ground. Keep the immediate area 1.5m (5') in front of the charger and 0.5m (1.6') on both sides of the charger clear of objects and reflective object surfaces.
• Plug the Charging Dock in.

2. Install Side Brushes

• Attach Side Brushes to the bottom of DEEBOT by pressing a brush into each slot with the matching color until it clicks.

3. Power ON

• Turn the robot’s Bottom Power Switch to the ON position. “I”=power ON; “O”=power OFF. DEEBOT is powered ON when the AUTO Mode Button glows a continuous BLUE.

* When DEEBOT is not cleaning, it is suggested to keep it powered ON and charging instead of powered OFF.

4. Charge DEEBOT

• Place DEEBOT on the Charging Dock making sure the Charging Contacts on DEEBOT and the Charging Dock Pins make a connection.

Cleaning Mode Selection

DEEBOT has several Cleaning Modes to choose from to effectively clean different floors. Cleaning Modes are selected with the Remote Control.

1. AUTO Cleaning Mode

This is the most commonly used mode. In AUTO Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT cleans in a straight line and changes direction when it meets an obstacle.

2. Edge Cleaning Mode

This mode is good for cleaning the edges and corners of a room. In Edge Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT cleans along a border (e.g. wall) and returns to the Charging Dock when it completes Edge Cleaning.

3. Spot Cleaning Mode (2-5 minutes)

This mode is applicable for an area of highly concentrated dirt or dust. In Spot Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT focuses on a specific area to clean. DEEBOT cleans the area in a spiral pattern and stops when it completes Spot Cleaning

4. Return to Charger Mode

When battery power gets low, DEEBOT automatically switches to Return to Charger Mode and returns to the Charging Dock to recharge itself.

* DEEBOT can also be sent back to the Charging Dock at any time by pressing the Return to Charger Button on the Remote Control.

Intelligent Scheduling

DEEBOT has an Intelligent Scheduling function. DEEBOT can be scheduled to clean once per day at the same time, even If nobody is at home.

* All scheduled cleanings are performed in AUTO Cleaning Mode.

1. Set Intelligent Scheduling

Double-click the AUTO Mode Button on DEEBOT or press the Intelligent Scheduling Button on the Remote Control to set the current time as the scheduled cleaning time. Intelligent Scheduling is set when the robot beeps and the Intelligent Scheduling Indicator Light glows a continuous BLUE. DEEBOT will automatically clean at the set time every day.

For example: Set Intelligent Scheduling successfully at 9:00am, and DEEBOT automatically cleans at 9:00am every day.

2. Cancel Intelligent Scheduling

Double-click the AUTO Mode Button on DEEBOT or press the Intelligent Scheduling Button on the Remote Control. Intelligent Scheduling is cancelled when the robot beeps and the Intelligent Scheduling Indicator Light stops glowing.
