2. Cannot be charged below zero degrees Celsius (the robot automatically protects and cannot be charged).

3. Charging in dynamic temperature environments (e.g., medium-temperature cold storage, working inside, charging outside the cold storage) requires corresponding software versions. If the robot enters the wrong position accidentally due to obstruction or other factors, please pause the task in time and push it to the correct route before continuing the task.

4. Do not drag the robot during operation. If you need to push or move the robot, please tap the screen to pause it first.

5. Do not push the robot in reverse while it is powered on.

6. Do not block the robot's sensors, otherwise it may cause abnormal movement or loss of positioning.

7. Do not pat the device or forcefully press/knock on the screen, otherwise it may cause damage to the device.

8. Do not place loads on the robot, do not place open flame stoves, and do not place any combustible solids, gases, or liquids.

9. Do not make temporary setting adjustments while the robot is moving. All operations should be carried out after tapping the screen to pause the robot's driving.

10. Cleaning and maintenance work are prohibited while the machine is powered on and running.

11. Before use, please put away various wires on the ground in the environment to avoid dragging during the host's operation.

12. For safety, please ensure the robot runs at a speed of 1.2m/s or below. Playing and fighting in front of the robot is prohibited to avoid unnecessary injuries. The robot has an automatic obstacle avoidance function, but there are blind spots in recognition. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to suddenly block the robot while it is traveling at high speed, otherwise it may cause safety accidents.

13. When transporting the robot, be sure to empty the trash in the dustbox. Tilting the machine is strictly prohibited during transportation, otherwise the body may be damaged.

2.2 Environmental Precautions

1. This robot is suitable for flat ground environments. It is not suitable for use in environments with steps, excessive slopes, or overly tight spaces.

2. It is not recommended to use the robot on heavily oil-stained floors.

3. Debris such as power cords scattered on the ground may trip or entangle the robot. Please remove them before use.

4. When using this product with obvious ground protrusions such as thresholds, please ensure the height of the protrusions is within 20mm.

5. 5.The optimal passage width for the robot should be greater than 75 cm; for long corridors, a width greater than 80 cm is recommended for the best fluid movement.

Ground Conditions	Illustration
The maximum climbing angle designed for the robot is 8° (in non-cleaning status). To prevent potential risks caused by the robot slipping backwards, you should avoid pausing the machine while the robot is going uphill.
The robot only supports cleaning operations on flat surfaces. Do NOT perform cleaning tasks on visible slopes exceeding 3°.
Environments with solid black surfaces (e.g., baseboards), mirrored surfaces (e.g., walls), or full transparency at a height of 14–22 cm may interfere with lidar reflections, causing abnormal navigation. These scenarios require assessment by technical support and may necessitate site modifications, such as applying stickers, to ensure proper reflection.

2.3 Power Supply Precautions

1. Fully charge the robot to 100% before its first use.

2. To ensure operational efficiency and battery longevity, always maintain the battery level above 10%.

3. When the battery drops below 10%, the robot enters a low-battery state and must be charged as soon as possible.

4. When the battery drops below 2%, it enters battery protection mode; the robot will be unable to perform tasks and must be recharged before use.
