Frequently Asked Questions - BDH5000 BLACK & DECKER

How to recharge the BDH5000 robot?

You can recharge the robot manually by plugging the charger directly into the device, or automatically by placing it on the charging station. Make sure the switch is ON and the robot is properly aligned with the charging contacts.

What are the different cleaning modes?

The robot offers three modes: Spiral (localized cleaning of about 1 m²), Cleaning (for rooms up to 20 m², about 30 minutes), and Maximum (runs until battery drains). You can also use the remote control for manual control.

How to clean the filter of the BDH5000?

Turn off the device and remove the dustbin. Press the release tab to remove the filter. Tap to remove dust or wash it with warm water. Make sure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

What to do if the robot does not move properly?

Check that the main brush is not blocked and that the sensors are not obstructed. Clean the wheels and brushes. If the robot constantly backs up, it may be due to very dark floors or dirty sensors. Make sure the switch is ON.

How to set the automatic cleaning timer?

Make sure the robot is on and connected to the charging station. Press the timer button, set the desired hour and minutes, then activate the timer by pressing '+'. The timer icon will appear. The robot will start at the programmed time.

The charging indicator blinks orange, what to do?

A solid orange light indicates low battery. Recharge the robot by connecting it to the charging station or directly via charger. If all lights blink, the robot is stuck: remove obstacles and restart.

How to replace the brushes of the BDH5000?

Turn off the device and turn it over. Open the brush cover by pressing the tab. Remove the main brush and rubber brush. Clean debris with the maintenance brush. Reassemble by inserting the 'D' end onto the drive shaft.

Can I use the robot on carpet?

Yes, but test first on a small area. Sensors may not work correctly on some floor types. Avoid carpet fringes that could get caught in brushes.

How to clean the charging station?

Unplug the charging station. Clean it with a damp cloth (not wet) and mild soap. Never immerse in water. Make sure the charging contacts are clean.

What to do if the robot does not find its charging station?

Check that the station is plugged in and nothing blocks the path between the robot and the station. If the room is too large, the robot may not find it. You can also manually place the robot on the station to recharge.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Charging

Your vacuum can be manually charged via the jack plug or automatically charged via the charging dock.

- Before first use, the battery must be charged for at least 5 hours.

NOTE: While charging, the charger may become warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. The appliance can be left connected to the charger indefinitely.

⚠ WARNING: Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 50 °F or above 104 °F.

LED INDICATORS

The power indicator (4) has various settings that show the charging status.

NOTE: If the power switch (11) is turned off, the power indicator will not illuminate.

Pulsing Blue Charging—charged enough to vacuum

Solid Blue Fully charged

Solid Orange Low battery—can not vacuum

All lights on Error, robot stuck

MANUALLY CHARGE (FIGURE A, B)

1. Plug the battery charger (23) into a wall outlet.
2. Slide the jack plug (27) end of the charger into the charging socket (12) of the vacuum.
3. The power indicator (4) will blink, meaning the vacuum is charging. The power indicator will remain lit when the vacuum is fully charged.

2. Place the charging dock on the floor. NOTE: Do not place anything under the charging dock. It will prevent the vacuum from automatically charging.

1. Place the vacuum against the charging dock so that the charging electrodes (7) contact the two charging plates (29) as shown in Figure D.
2. The power indicator (4) will blink and the charging icon on the LED screen (22) will scroll, meaning the vacuum is charging. The power indicator will remain lit when the vacuum is fully charged.

NOTE: The vacuum will search for the charging dock when it is low on battery. However, if the room is too large or the vacuum is obstructed from “seeing” the dock, it may fail to find the dock to automatically recharge. If this occurs, place the vacuum at the charging dock as described above.
