Frequently Asked Questions - DRC300 MAKITA

How to start cleaning with the Makita DRC300?
Place the robot vacuum cleaner near a wall in the room to be cleaned. Put it in standby mode by pressing the power button. Select the desired cleaning mode with the mode switch button: [F] for free mode, or a mapped room number. Then press the power button to start cleaning. The robot vacuum cleaner cleans the room and returns to its starting point once finished.
How to map a room?
Place the robot vacuum cleaner at the location where you wish to start mapping (near a wall, about 30 cm away). Put it in standby mode. Press the mode switch button to select an unmapped room number (flashing). Press the power button to start mapping. The robot vacuum cleaner explores the room and returns to its starting point. Mapping is complete when the indicator light turns off and the device emits a sound (if sound is enabled).
What to do if the robot vacuum cleaner does not return to its base?
First check that the robot vacuum cleaner is in standby mode and not off. If cleaning is finished, it should return automatically. Otherwise, press the home button on the remote control to make it return. If the problem persists, check the battery status (remaining capacity) and make sure the vacuum is not stuck. You can also use the localization function to find it.
How to install the battery and remote control?
To install the battery, insert it completely into the slot until you hear a click. Make sure the red part of the button is no longer visible. For the remote control, open the cover by sliding it, insert two AAA batteries (new and identical) respecting the polarities, then close the cover.
How to clean the filter and brushes?
Before any maintenance, turn off the robot vacuum cleaner and remove the batteries. Open the top cover and take out the dust box. Remove the filter and clean it with a soft brush or dry cloth (you can wash it with water if specified). The side brushes and main brush can be removed and cleaned with a damp cloth. Make sure everything is dry before reassembling.
What do the error indicators mean?
The indicators on the control panel indicate different problems: general red error indicator, red filter maintenance indicator (clogged filter), red brush error indicator (brush jammed). Refer to the error notifications and indicator table in the manual for corresponding solutions.
Can I use the vacuum without mapping?
Yes, you can use free cleaning mode by selecting [F] on the mode switch button. This mode does not require mapping and is recommended for changing or poorly lit rooms. The robot vacuum cleaner cleans the room without saving a map.
How to set up Wi-Fi and the app?
Download the Makita Robotic Cleaner app on your smartphone. Put the vacuum in standby mode and press the smartphone connection button (the Wi-Fi indicator blinks). In your phone's Wi-Fi settings, connect to the vacuum's network (SSID starting with 'Robotic Cleaner_'). The initial password is the last four digits of the SSID repeated twice (e.g., 012A012A). Open the app, enter the PIN code (same as the default password), then change it for security reasons.
Can the vacuum be used on carpets?
Yes, but avoid carpets with long pile over 7 mm or delicate carpets (sheepskin, fur, etc.) as they could damage the brushes or the carpet. For standard carpets, the vacuum can climb obstacles up to 2 cm high. Remove fringes that could get tangled.
How to set the ON/OFF timer?
Make sure the time is set (see manual). For the ON timer: press and hold the ON timer button, set the time in 10-minute increments using the up/down buttons, then confirm with the confirmation button. Press the ON timer button to activate the function (indicator on). For the OFF timer: do the same with the OFF timer button. Both timers can operate simultaneously.

Prepare Before Cleaning

About carrying the robotic cleaner

CAUTION

When you carry the robotic cleaner, stop the operation, then turn the power off, and then hold the carrying handle firmly so as not to get your hand caught.

Not doing so can cause your hand to be caught in the handle.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times when lifting the robotic cleaner.

Not doing so can cause injury or failure.

Do not lift the robotic cleaner carelessly.

Doing so can cause injury or failure.

Do not hold the robotic cleaner with its front facing downward.

  • Dust can fall from the suction opening.

MAKITA DRC300 - CAUTION - 1

About cleaning by the robotic cleaner

  • The robotic cleaner detects obstacles by its LiDAR sensor and ultrasonic sensor and runs while avoiding those obstacles. It collects and sucks dust with its side brushes and main brush. It may fail to recognize an obstacle depending on the conditions. When it hits an obstacle, the bumper detects the contact and avoid the obstacle.
  • The robotic cleaner can climb over a step of up to about 2.0cm . If it is less than 2.0cm , however, the robotic cleaner sometimes fails to climb over it depending on the conditions such as the shape of the step.
  • On a slope or an uneven place, the undersurface of the robotic cleaner may be caught and a drive wheel may be lifted, which causes the robotic cleaner to stop due to an error. If the robotic cleaner stops often, do not allow it to enter that place. (See page 20.)
  • Where there is an obstacle near a wall, the robotic cleaner may run up onto the wall while trying to avoid the obstacle.
  • The LiDAR sensor may not be able to recognize obstacles with the following characteristics, which may result in inaccurate mapping or bumping into obstacles.

  • Highly reflective obstacles such as mirrors

  • Highly transparent obstacles such as glass
  • Obstacles made of black, glossy material
  • Slim obstacles such as the legs of a chair or desk

  • When the robotic cleaner enters a narrow space lower than the height of the robotic cleaner, it can get caught and stuck. In such a case, place a screen or something.

MAKITA DRC300 - About cleaning by the robotic cleaner - 1

  1. Block a gap with a screen or something.

  2. A black floor, a transparent floor such as a glass floor, or black areas on the grain of wood flooring may be determined to be a step by the robotic cleaner, which then tries to avoid it.

MAKITA DRC300 - About cleaning by the robotic cleaner - 2

  • The robotic cleaner may not be able to suck dust in an area around a step over which the robotic cleaner can climb, a secluded or narrow space that the robotic cleaner cannot enter, or a place that the side brushes cannot reach.
  • The robotic cleaner may kick away a small, hard object such as a small stone.
  • The robotic cleaner may climb over a step accidentally if there is an object which can help it climbing up (for example, a board or carpet). Keep such objects away from the steps.

CAUTION

Do not use the robotic cleaner in the following places.

  • Do not use the robotic cleaner on places such as a carpet with a pile height of more than 7mm , a rug with piles that fall out easily, and an uneven rug. On such a rug, the robotic cleaner may stop operating, piles may be caught in the side brushes, or the rug or the side brushes may be damaged. If the robotic cleaner cannot run well on a rug other than described above, avoid use on that rug.

MAKITA DRC300 - Do not use the robotic cleaner in the following places. - 1

  • Do not use the robotic cleaner on a mattress, a blanket, a floor cushion, etc.
  • Do not use the robotic cleaner in a wet area, a toilet, a bathroom, an attic, outdoors, etc.
  • Do not use the robotic cleaner in a wet place, a place that may become wet, or in a hot, humid place.

To prevent the robotic cleaner from falling

WARNING

Ensure that the robotic cleaner does not fall.

If it falls, it may cause breakage or injury.

  • Do not use the robotic cleaner in a mezzanine floor, a loft, a stairwell, a place without walls, or a place with a slope of 10^ or more.

MAKITA DRC300 - Ensure that the robotic cleaner does not fall. - 1

  • In a place where an accident or other dangerous situation may occur due to a fall, place an object that has a height of 25cm or more and can serve as a wall (object that does not move or topple over when hit by the robotic cleaner).

MAKITA DRC300 - Ensure that the robotic cleaner does not fall. - 2

1.Height of 25 cm or higher

  • If dirt or water droplets due to condensation are formed on the cliff sensor on the undersurface of the robotic cleaner, wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth, a cotton swab, etc.

MAKITA DRC300 - 1.Height of 25 cm or higher - 1

1.Cliff sensor (five places)

  • The robotic cleaner may fail to operate properly when exposed to sunlight or infrared light from other equipment. Ensure that the robotic cleaner is not exposed to infrared light from a halogen heater, a remote control, a sensor, and other equipment and sunlight coming from frosted glass, etc.

MAKITA DRC300 - 1.Cliff sensor (five places) - 1

  • Do not use when there are objects such as carpets, mats, or plates near a step. If an object such as a carpet, mat, or plate is covering the step, the cliff sensor may not recognize the step correctly.

MAKITA DRC300 - 1.Cliff sensor (five places) - 2

  • In such a place that the distance from a wall to a step is less than about 1m , the robotic cleaner may fall while moving backward. Do not use the robotic cleaner where the distance from a wall to a step is less than about 1m .

MAKITA DRC300 - 1.Cliff sensor (five places) - 3

1. Less than about 1 m

  • Where there is a drain cover (grating cover), the cliff sensor may recognize it as a step and the robotic cleaner may not be able to pass over it. If it is necessary to pass over it, cover the grating with a plate or something.

MAKITA DRC300 - Less than about 1 m - 1

  • A step of about 3.0cm or less may not be recognized as a step by the cliff sensor, resulting in the robotic cleaner climbing down the step while going straight. Where there is a step of from about 2.0 to 3.0cm , refrain from using the robotic cleaner.
  • Shut any sliding doors, screens, or windows because the level difference of their frames or rails may not be recognized as a step by the bumper sensors.
  • Do not use the robotic cleaner on a breakable flooring surface such as glass.

Tidying up a place to clean

WARNING

Move objects that may cause damage or an accident when the robotic cleaner comes into contact with them.

Put away objects that should not be sucked in, objects that hinder the movement of the robotic cleaner, and objects that are likely to get caught in the main brush, wheels, and side brushes.

  • If you leave an object that will obstruct the movement of the robotic cleaner during cleaning, it may cause an accident or injury.

  • Do not use the robotic cleaner near objects that gel hot, such as a heating apparatus (space heater). Doing so can cause an accident, ignition, or failure. (Do not use a heating apparatus during operation.)

MAKITA DRC300 - WARNING - 1

What to set up before cleaning

Before cleaning, make settings for the robotic cleaner as required.

Switching the vacuum fan on/off

In the case of cleaning of visible large dust only, turning off the vacuum fan allows the running time to be longer. For how to switch the vacuum fan on/off, refer to page 18.

Switching the sound setting on/off

When the sound setting of the robotic cleaner is off, the robotic cleaner cleans silently. (See page 22.)

Setting the boundary-sensing feature

With the boundary-sensing feature on, the robotic cleaner recognizes magnetic boundary line set up on a floor surface. Magnetic boundary line serves as a boundary line, and the robotic cleaner does not go beyond the magnetic boundary line; that is, the running area can be limited. For how to set the boundary-sensing feature, refer to page 20.

How To Use

Cleaning

The robotic cleaner works in three ways:

  • free cleaning mode, which does not require map registration.
  • mapping cleaning mode (see "Cleaning a room with mapping" on this page), which requires room information to be registered for cleaning, and
  • manual operation using the remote control.
  • Free cleaning mode is recommended for cleaning in various rooms or in an environment that involves frequent, significant layout changes.

  2. When the sound setting is on, completion of cleaning is informed with a sound. (See page 22.)

  3. The robotic cleaner calculates its own position using the LiDAR sensor and camera sensor. For the camera sensor to function fully, it is recommended to make the room brighter for cleaning. If the room is dark, the robotic cleaner may not be able to clean some area or may fail to return back to the place from which it started cleaning.

Cleaning a room with mapping

Registering room information (mapping)

  • When the rooms to clean are already determined, registering room information (registration of mapping information) in the robotic cleaner allows the cleaning to be more efficient. After completion of mapping, it becomes possible to check the cleaning result and set prohibited areas from the app.
    The number of rooms that can be registered is five.
    Make the room brighter during mapping.
  • Keep away from the robotic cleaner during mapping.
  • Do not pick up the robotic cleaner during mapping.
  • The mapping fails if there are no obstacles with a height of 25cm or more within a radius of about 11m of the robotic cleaner. In this case, cleaning in free cleaning mode is recommended. (See "Cleaning a room without mapping (free cleaning mode)" on this page)

  • Place the robotic cleaner in the place from which you want the robotic cleaner to start cleaning.

  • This starting location will be a location for cleaning to start.

  • It is recommended to set the starting location near a wall, a corner of the room, or other point that is easy to identify.
  • Keep a distance of about 30~cm from a wall.

  • Put the robotic cleaner into the stand-by state. (See page 15.)

  • Select an unmapped room number by pressing the mode switch button.

  • [F] is free cleaning mode. (See "Cleaning a room without mapping (free cleaning mode)" on this page.)

Controlling the cleaning range

WARNING

Do not use magnetic boundary line as a boundary line of an area where an accident can possibly happen due to intrusion or fall.

  • Doing so can cause an accident or injury due to intrusion or fall of the robotic cleaner.

For an area with a risk of intrusion or fall of the robotic cleaner, place an object serving as a wall with a height of 25cm or more (an object that does not move or fall over when hit by the robotic cleaner) on a flat surface.

  • The cleaning range can be limited by attaching magnetic boundary line (sold separately) on a floor surface to make a boundary line. The robotic cleaner detects and avoids magnetic boundary line.
  • Set the cleaning range for the robotic cleaner in the following cases.

MAKITA DRC300 - WARNING - 1

  1. Cleaning area 2. Magnetic boundary line 3. Area in which you do not want the robotic cleaner to run

  2. When you want to divide a space that is too large to clean at one time into multiple areas for cleaning.

  3. When there is an area that you do not want the robotic cleaner to enter.
  4. When there is an area that the robotic cleaner can enter but cannot leave.
  5. When the robotic cleaner climbs over a low step but falls from it,
  6. When the robotic cleaner gets caught in the middle of a step.

  7. Lay magnetic boundary line with the following points in mind.

  8. Be sure to lay the magnetic boundary line without any gap between it and the floor surface.

  9. Lay the magnetic boundary line about 15cm away from the area that you do not want the robotic cleaner to enter.
  10. Place the magnetic boundary line on a floor surface that is as flat as possible so that it does not become unsteady. Not doing so can cause the robotic cleaner to displace the line and fail to recognize the line correctly.
  11. The robotic cleaner may not recognize a magnetic boundary line placed on a concave or stepped surface.
  12. Make sure that the magnetic boundary line is a genuine product. If it is not a genuine product, performance and safety cannot be guaranteed.

  13. Some floor surfaces may become dirty. Check the suitability properly before use.

  14. Depending on the floor surface and operating environment, the magnet sensor for boundary sensing is likely to fail to recognize magnetic boundary line, or magnetic boundary line is likely to become dirty or tom. Check the suitability property before use.
