Preparations Before Use

Recharging

Push the Trilobite unit with its rear against the battery charger’s contact plate. Press it in securely. Keep it pressed in until you hear an acknowledging signal (this may take a few seconds). This is particularly important

if the batteries are entirely – or almost entirely

– discharged.

You may well develop a personal affection to Trilobite and appriciate its intelligence.To get the best from your Trilobite, we recommend you consider following.

Charging (see also picture “Charging status”)

Check the battery indicator before vacuuming starts. Refer to the lower, right picture.

A. Charge your Trilobite before vacuuming

B. You can commence vacuuming. But your Trilobite will need to find the charger soon.

C.You don´t need a charger in the room to start vacuuming

Avoid interrupting the charging process. If unavoidable, pull the machine away from the charger and press the On/Off button. Vacuuming can also be started while Trilobite is still being charged. If the power to the charger is interrupted for more than 30 seconds during charging, and you have not manually placed Trilobite in the charger, it will leave it, take a spin on the floor and then connect with the charger again.

Move the furniture

Trilobite picks its way around furniture, whether freestanding or placed flush against a wall. However, cleaning is both quicker and more effective if you move the furniture slightly before it is time to start cleaning. Of course, you do not need to move heavy furniture such as sofas. On the other hand, chairs can be conveniently placed on top of tables, a standard lamp can be moved out of the way onto an armchair, loose rugs can be shifted. But don’t complicate matters more than you need to! Normally, all you need to do is to put Trilobite on the floor and let it get on with the job of cleaning.

Loose objects

Trilobite cannot distinguish between dust, coins, rings and expensive jewellery. Before starting Trilobite, be sure to put away small, loose objects you do not want to lose.

Also make sure there are no cords or other objects on the floor that may prevent Trilobite from moving freely in the room.

For your own safety

Before vacuuming, read “For your own safety” on page 22-23!

Rooms with a staircase

Trilobite cannot see staircases or other level differences.To pre- vent it from falling down the stairs, block access to the staircase with a magnetic strip as shown in picture 1.

Rooms with wall openings

Trilobite is able to vacuum rooms with wall openings or walls placed at odd angles. However, this will take longer than usual. It is a good idea to vacuum one room at a time and separate the rooms using magnetic strips as shown in picture 2.

Rooms with doorsteps

Always fit magnetic strip on the floor in front of the doorstep in the room you will be vacuuming. See picture 3 an 4.

Magnetic strips and carpets

If the carpet has a pile depth of less than 15 mm, the magnetic strip can be placed under it with maintained functionality. If the strip is fitted on top of the carpet, be sure it is securely attached.

10.

Always attach the magnetic strip on top of the step (Figure 8) and never along its side (as shown in Figure 9 and 10).
