Robotic Cleaner DRC300.
For Android:
If a pop -up to decide whether to keep the connection after establishing the Wi -Fi
connection is displayed, allow it.
4. Connect the smartphone to the robotic cleaner via Wi -Fi®.
(This connection is NOT Bluetooth.)
• Wi -Fi® connection setting (password entry) is required only when connecting
to the robotic cleaner for the first time.
• The initial password of the Wi -Fi® connection is set to alphanumeric
characters that repeat the last four digits under the robotic cleaner’s SSID
twice. For example, if the SSID “Robotic_Cleaner_012A” is displayed, the
password will be “012A012A”.
• Be sure that the smartphone cannot access other Wi -Fi® networks during the
connection with the robotic cleaner.
5. Exit from the Wi -Fi® setting screen and display the app screen. After that,
enter the PIN code to authenticate the connection.
• The factory set PIN code is set to alphanumeric characters that repeat the
last four digits under the SSID twice.
• If the SSID is “Robotic_Cleaner_012A”, the factory set PIN code will be
“012A012A.”
• The home screen of the app will be displayed when the PIN code is
successfully authenticated.
6. Change the PIN code.
• Be sure to change the PIN code. Do not use the default PIN code.
See page 42 for how to change the PIN code.
• Do not forget the new PIN code you created.
7. Initial setting is complete when “PIN code changed” is displayed. Return to
the home screen to use the app.
To disconnect the Wi -Fi connection, press the smartphone connection button on
the robotic cleaner to turn off the smartphone connection lamp.

Cleaning with the app
The robotic cleaner works in two modes: free cleaning mode, which does not
require map registration, and mapping cleaning mode (see “Cleaning mapped
rooms” on page 35), which requires room information to be registered for
cleaning.
Cleaning a room without mapping (free cleaning mode)
• Free cleaning mode is recommended for cleaning in various rooms or in an
environment that involves frequent, significant layout changes.
• Free cleaning mode is also recommended for a room that cannot be
adequately lighted.
• For cleaning, mapping, and the location to start the robotic cleaner, see page
16.
