How to set up the Virtual Guard?

Insert two D-type batteries into the Virtual Guard, place it at the entrance of the area to be protected with the sensor facing the area, then press the power button. The infrared beam will prevent the robot from passing.

What to do if the POWERbot does not return to the charging station?

Check that the station is powered on and no obstacles block the path. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot and station are clean. If the problem persists, disable and re-enable the emergency stop button, then unplug and replug the station.

How to clean the dustbin?

Disable the emergency stop button. Remove the dustbin, empty it, wash it with clean water along with the filter. Dry completely before reassembling. The filter inspection light turns on when it is time to clean it.

Information code C01 appears, what to do?

Code C01 indicates the robot is stuck. Disable the emergency stop button, remove the robot from the obstacle and place it in a clear area. Re-enable the button to resume cleaning.

Can a daily cleaning schedule be set?

Yes, from the robot's screen or the Samsung Smart Home app. First set the current time, then schedule a single or daily cleaning. The robot must be on the charging station for the schedule to be active.

How to connect the POWERbot to the Samsung Smart Home app?

Download the Samsung Smart Home app on your smartphone. Create a Samsung account. In the app, select 'Add device' and follow the instructions. The robot must be powered on and near the Wi-Fi router (2.4 GHz). Activate AP mode by pressing the Clock button for 5 seconds if necessary.

The POWERbot uses 3 types of infrared devices and a device may not work in front of another device with a higher priority.

• Infrared signal Priority: Remote control > Virtual guard > Charger

• When controlling POWERbot with the remote control, POWERbot may cross the invisible barrier set by the Virtual guard and enter the area you don't want it to enter, since remote control's signal has a higher priority.

• Different infrared signals may interfere with one another and cause malfunction to the devices if they are used together in a small space or in a close distance.
  Install the Virtual guard away from the charger as auto charging may be interrupted if the Virtual guard is near the charger.
  If more than one POWERbots are used simultaneously, they may malfunction due to interference of the infrared signals.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Checklist
The POWERbot is not working at all.	Check if the emergency switch is on. Check if all the icons are displayed on display panel. Check if the battery of POWERbot is depleted. - When "Lo" is displayed, carry POWERbot to the charger to charge it. Replace the batteries (AAA type) when the remote controller is not working.
The POWERbot is stopped during cleaning process.	When "Lo" is displayed on the display panel, carry POWERbot to the charger to charge it. When POWERbot is stuck by the obstacles such as cord, threshold etc, pick it up to remove it from the obstacle. - If any fabrics or strings are caught in the drive wheel, turn off the emergency switch and remove the fabrics or strings before using it again.
Suction power is weak.	If the "Filter inspection indicator" is on, turn off the emergency switch and clean the dustbin. When there's too much dust in the dustbin, suction power may get weakened. Turn off the emergency switch and empty the dustbin. If the intake (on bottom of POWERbot) is blocked by foreign matters, turn off the emergency switch and remove foreign matter from the intake. When noise suddenly increase, turn off the emergency switch and empty the dustbin.
The POWERbot cannot find the charger.	Check if there's power failure or whether the power plug is unplugged. Remove any obstacles around the charger that may disturb POWERbot from returning to the charger. When there's foreign matters on the charge pins that affects charging, clean the foreign matter.
The POWERbot passes through the Virtual guard.	If the batteries are depleted, replace them. (2 type D (LR20) batteries) If the lamp is off, check if the Virtual guard is turned off and turn it on.
The POWERbot suddenly cleans diagonally.	Check if the charger is installed along the grain of wooden floors or tiles. It may clean in diagonal direction for moving to another area in shortest route, or it made contact with any obstacles in that angle, or if it was charged at the charged at an angle, or grain of the wooden/tile floor is in that direction.
Point cleaning is not working.	If you point the red light directly on POWERbot, it may not move to desired direction. - Point the red light on the floor within 1 m around POWERbot. *: Do not use the point cleaning under direct sunlight, bright light or on dark floors.
"Filter inspection indicator" is on even after the dustbin has been emptied.	Use POWERbot after turning off the emergency switch and then turning it back on. Empty the dustbin again and re-clean the filter thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Checklist
POWERbot moves around at the same place.	Dust sensor mode is on. - The dust sensor mode is on by default. When the POWERbot passes through a dusty area, it moves around that area to focus on cleaning. POWERbot moves around an area and the "DUST" is on the display panel even though there's no dust at the surrounding area. - Check if foreign matters are caught between the dustbin and power brush and then remove them.
POWERbot does not clean a certain area.	Check if the charger is installed near a narrow passage or door, and reinstall it in the other areas. - If the charger is installed near a narrow passage or door, the POWERbot cannot pass through the passage or doorsill.
The battery usage time of the Virtual guard is too short.	Check if you're using manganese drycell batteries and replace the batteries with new ones. (2 type D (LR20) batteries)
I have installed the Samsung Smart Home app, but, the POWERbot fails to be connected.	You can use the product after connecting the wireless router and the POWERbot through Easy-Setup according to the procedure.
I fail to log into the Samsung account.	Check your ID and password on the screen of the Samsung account.
There appears a message saying there is a failure during Easy-Setup.	You may have failed temporarily due to the distance from the wireless router or other obstacles. Please try again after a while.
The products do not work even though the smart phone is normally connected to the POWERbot.	Turn off the Samsung Smart Home app and then run it again, or disconnect the smart phone from the wireless router and then connect it again. Or turn off the power supply of the POWERbot, turn it on, wait for a minute or longer, and then run the Smart Home app again.
The functions of the Samsung Smart Home App do not work.	Check if the remote control blocking function of the POWERbot is set. (If the Wi-Fi indicator is turned off, the remote control is locked.)
The Samsung Smart Robot Vacuum App fails to get started.	Check if the POWERbot is connected to the wireless router.
POWERbot is not connected to Wi-Fi.	Check the setting status of the wireless router.
