You may well develop a personal affection to Trilobite and
appriciate its intelligence.To get the best from your Trilobite,
we recommend you consider following.
Charging
(see also picture “Charging status”)
Check the battery indicator before vacuuming starts.
Refer to the lower, right picture.
A. Charge your Trilobite before vacuuming
B. You can commence vacuuming. But your Trilobite will need
to find the charger soon.
C. You don’t need a charger in the room to start vacuuming
Avoid interrupting the charging process. If unavoidable, pull
the machine away from the charger and press the
button.
Vacuuming can also be started while Trilobite is still being
charged. If the power to the charger is interrupted for more
than 30 seconds during charging, and you have not manually
placed Trilobite in the charger, it will leave it, take a spin on
the floor and then connect with the charger again.
Move the furniture
Trilobite picks its way around furniture, whether freestanding or
placed flush against a wall. However, cleaning is both quicker and
more effective if you move the furniture slightly before it is time
to start cleaning. Of course, you do not need to move heavy fur-
niture such as sofas. On the other hand, chairs can be convenient-
ly placed on top of tables, a standard lamp can be moved out of
the way onto an armchair, loose rugs can be shifted. But don’t
complicate matters more than you need to! Normally, all you
need to do is to put Trilobite on the floor and let it get on with
the job of cleaning.
Loose objects
Trilobite cannot distinguish between dust, coins, rings and expen-
sive jewellery. Before starting Trilobite, be sure to put away small,
loose objects you do not want to lose.
Also make sure there are no cords or other objects on the floor
that may prevent Trilobite from moving freely in the room.
For your own safety
Before vacuuming, read “For your own safety” on page 38–39!
Preparations Before Use
Recharging
Push the Trilobite unit with its rear against
the battery charger’s contact plate. Press it
in securely. Keep it pressed in until you hear
an acknowledging signal (this may take a
few seconds). This is particularly important
if the batteries are entirely – or almost entirely
– discharged.
The battery
charger is placed
along a wall with
a free margin of
0.2 m to the right
of the charger.
Charging status
The battery indicator on Trilobite’s dis-
play shows the battery capacity during
vacuuming and charging.
An audible signals sounds
and the battery symbol
in the display light when
charging commences.
Trilobite becomes fully
charged in about two
hours at which time
“Ready” lights in the
display.
