Charging

Notes

If the battery overheats during charging, it may take longer to charge.
If automatic charging is not working, do the following:

• Turn the emergency switch (on the bottom of POWERbot) off and on again.
• Unplug the docking station's power plug and then plug it back on.
• Unplug the docking station, and then check whether there is any foreign matter on the charging pins. If there is, clean the POWERbot and the charging pins of the docking station with a dry cloth or rag.
• Check for any obstacles such as reflective objects, chairs, etc. near the docking station.

If the POWERbot is left detached from the docking station, the battery will drain.

• Try to keep the POWERbot in the docking station so it can charge continuously when not in use. However, you should turn off the emergency switch and leave the docking station unplugged if you plan to be out of your house for long periods of time such as when you go on vacation, etc.

Using

Notes

The POWERbot may get caught on thresholds, etc. during cleaning.
- To restart operation, shut off the emergency switch, move the POWERbot to an area where it can move easily, and then turn on the power again.
The POWERbot cannot completely clean areas it cannot enter, such as corners, between the wall and sofa, etc.
- Please use another cleaning tool to clean them regularly.

The POWERbot cannot vacuum clumps of dirt, so some may remain on the floor after cleaning.
- Please use another cleaning tool to clean them regularly.
If POWERbot is turned off, you cannot turn it on by pressing the Power button on the remote control. Press and hold the [Start/Stop] button on POWERbot.
- You cannot select and have the POWERbot execute Spot clean mode while it is charging.

About the IrDA sensor

Caution

Infrared signal transmission may not be smooth in locations exposed to halogen lamps or in outdoor locations.
The POWERbot uses 3 types of infrared devices. Each of the devices has a different priority level. A device may not work if its signal is superseded by a device with a higher priority.

• Infrared signal Priority: Smart control > Docking station

• Different infrared signals may interfere with one another and cause the devices to malfunction if they are used together in a small space or in close proximity.
  If more than one POWERbot is used simultaneously, they may malfunction due to interference between 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 the display panel. Check if the POWERbot's battery is depleted. - If "Lo" is displayed, place the POWERbot in the docking station to charge it. - If the battery indicator is blinking, manually place the POWERbot in the docking station to charge. (SR1AM7010U* series only) Replace the batteries (AAA type) if the remote control is not working.
The POWERbot has stopped during cleaning.	If "Lo" is displayed on the display panel, place the POWERbot in the docking station to charge it. If the battery indicator is blinking, manually place the POWERbot in the docking station to charge. (SR1AM7010U* series only) If the POWERbot is immobilized by an obstacle such as a cord, threshold etc, pick it up and move it away from the obstacle. - If any fabric or string is caught in a drive wheel, turn off the emergency switch and remove the fabric or string.
Suction power is weak.	When there's too much dust in the dustbin, suction power may be weakened. Turn off the emergency switch, and then empty the dustbin. If the intake (on the bottom of the POWERbot) is blocked by foreign matter, turn off the emergency switch, and then remove the foreign matter from the intake. When noise suddenly increases, turn off the emergency switch, and then empty the dustbin.
The POWERbot cannot find the docking station.	Check if there's a power failure or whether the power plug is unplugged. Remove any obstacles around the docking station that may prevent the POWERbot from returning to the docking station. If there's foreign matter on the charging pins, charging can be affected. Clean the foreign matter off the pins.
The POWERbot suddenly cleans diagonally.	Check if the docking station is installed along the grain of a wooden or tile floor. The POWERbot may clean in a diagonal direction if it is moving to another area using the shortest route. It may also move at a diagonal if it made contact with an obstacles at that angle, if it was charged at the docking station at an angle, or if the grain of the wooden/tile floor is skewed in that direction.
Point cleaning is not working.	If you point the red light directly at the POWERbot, it may not move in desired direction. - Point the red light on the floor within 1.6 ft (0.5 m) of the POWERbot. Do not use point cleaning in direct sunlight, under bright light, or on dark floors.

Symptom Checklist

I have installed the Samsung Connect app, but, the POWERbot fails to connect.	You can use the Samsung Connect app with the POWERbot only after connecting the wireless router and the POWERbot through the Easy-Setup procedure. See pages 28 through 31.
I cannot log into my Samsung account.	Check your ID and password on the screen of the Samsung account.
A message appears 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 Samsung Connect app does not work even though your smart phone is normally connected to the POWERbot.	Turn off the Samsung Connect 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 Samsung Connect app again.
The functions of the Samsung Connect App do not work.	Check if the POWERbot's Smart control blocking function is On. (When Smart control is blocked, the Wi-Fi indicator is turned off. You can only use the remote control to control the POWERbot remotely.)
The Samsung Connect Robot Vacuum App fails to start.	Check if the POWERbot is connected to the wireless router.
The POWERbot is not connected to Wi-Fi.	Check the setting status of the wireless router.
The Intelligent Power Control function works on a normal floor. (It should only work on carpets.)	Check whether the floor is uneven and whether the POWERbot works with its body a bit lifted up. Check whether there is any foreign matter on the cliff sensor which is on the bottom of the POWERbot. Check whether the floor color is dark.
The Intelligent Power Control function does not work.	When the POWERbot cleans a carpet with short fibers and bright color, it may recognize the carpet as a floor and then the Intelligent Power Control function may not work.
The Edge Clean Master function does not work.	If the POWERbot cannot recognize a wall, the Edge clean master may not work: - When an obstacle made of reflective material is in front of the wall - When the wall itself is made of reflective material - When the wall is a dark color
The Edge Clean Master function works though there is no wall or corner.	Check whether small obstacles are arranged in a narrow space. If the POWERbot recognizes the front obstacle as a wall, the Edge clean master function may work.
The Edge Clean Master function works though the POWERbot has not approached a wall or corner.	If the degree of the angle of a corner which the POWERbot detects is large, the Edge clean master function may work even though the POWERbot has not approached the wall or corner.
