A. Battery
and
Charging
1.
How
long
does
it
take
to
fully charge the robot?
It
takes
about eight
hours
to
fully
charge
the
robot.
2.
Why
does
it take
so
long
to charge up the battery?
The
robot
uses
a
slow
charging
technology
which
could
keep
up
the
work
performance
and
li
span
of
the
rechargeable
batteries
better.
3.
Can
I
use
rechargeable
batteries other than 2000mAh?
Yes,
as
long
as
all
eight pieces of AA rechargeable batteries are
the
same
brand,
same
series
and
same
capacity,
it
is
okay.
However,
if
the
capacity
of
the
batteries is
lower
than
2000mAh,
the
working
time
of
the
robot
may
be
shorter.
4.
Why
is
the green
lamp
still blinking after 8 hours of charging?
As
the
recharge
function
relies
on
the
timer
inside
the
robot,
in
case
the
charging
power
input
has
been
interrupted
during
the
recharge,
the
timer
will
re-start
counting
(so
the
power
indication
lamp
will
still
be
blinking
in
green.)
It
will
stop
again
after
8
hours
of
uninterrupted
charging.
5.
Would
I
get electric
shock if I touch the robot when it is recharging?
NO.
The
output
of
the
contact
points
is
only
19V.
It
is
safe for
humans and pets.
6.
Do
I
need
to turn
off
the
robot before charging it?
YES.
Please
turn
off
the
robot
before
recharging,
otherwise
it
could
not
be
recharged
properly.
7.
Would
the robot
be
overcharged or get burnt if it is connected to the
adaptor
all
the time?
NO.
The
recharge
will
stop
automatically
after
8
hours.
However,
if
you
expect
a
longer
period
of
idleness,
it
is
recommended
to
unplug
the
adaptor.
8.
What
would happen
if
I
start using the robot before it gets fully charged?
It
will
still
work
until
the
voltage
drops
to
a
certain
level
and
stop
on
the
floor.
The
working
time
w
ould
be
shorter
than
normal.
9.
How
long
is the
battery
life? When do I need to replace with new batteries?
Lifespan
of
Ni-MH
batteries
is
usually
around
9-12
months
(it
will
also
depend
on the
usage
and
storage
condition).
When
the
batteries
start
to
age,
the
working
time
will
drop
gradually.
When
the
working
time
drops
to
a
level
that
the
robot
can not
clean
up
your
home
effectively
(you
still
find
obvious
dirt
on
floor
after
the
cleaning
program)
you need to replace
with
new
batteries.
