Questions and Answers
Should I pay attention to anything special when I vacuum a room for the first time?
It is a good idea to be present when the room is vacuumed the first time, for example to see if it takes unnecessary time for Trilobite to navigate around furniture.
Can I use Trilobite in a room with an activated alarm?
Yes, if it has a “pets monitoring” function.
Can I hide the magnetic strips under e.g. a carpet?
Yes, as long as it is not thicker than 15 mm.
Trilobite operates at different speeds. Is something wrong?
Not at all. The speed varies depending on the layout and furniture in the room.
Is it all right to always leave Trilobite connected to the charger when it is not is use?
Yes, but make sure children cannot start it by mistake.
Is it necessary to switch off Trilobite before charging it?
No.
How can I know whether I have placed Trilobite correctly during manual battery charging?
A battery symbol lights in the display and you hear an audible signal.
Why doesn’t it charge?
1.Check that Trilobite is correctly connected to the charger (Refer to page 8.)
2.Check that the charger has been connected to the mains.
3.Check that the rear of the charger has enough support. (Refer to page 8.)
Is it dangerous to touch the charging terminals?
No. They have no power in the output mode and carry max. 27 V in the input mode.
Why does Trilobite sometime pause for approximately 10 seconds during vacuuming?
Trilobite uses two battery packs. It will briefly pause when switching from one battery pack to the other.
Why does Trilobite stop completely during vacuuming?
1.Check that it has been sufficiently charged. (Refer to page 8.)
2.Did it find the charger during edge cleaning?
3.The time duration for vacuuming may need to be increased. (Refer to page 12.)
Why does Trilobite crackle while vacuuming?
This sound is produced by the navigation system.
Why do I need to replace the filter so often?
The filter is actually one of the most important components in the machine. It collects all dust, even very small dust particles (this is why you should also use original Electrolux filters). Just like a dust bag becomes full, so does the filter. There is no dust bag in the Trilobite, but the filter is always a necessity and should be replaced every time you empty the dust collector.
If Trilobite starts to smell bad, what could this be due to?
Probably the dust filter was not replaced.
What should I do when an error message is displayed?
The error messages you can correct yourself are shown on page 13. In all other cases, contact Customer Service, see page 18.
What is the Cable Protection System?
This is simply a system that prevents Trilobite from getting stuck in electric cords on the floor.
What is the Trilobite Stairsafe system?
It is a safety system that allows the Trilobite to detect and avoid falling down staircases using infrared light.
