This is not mandatory at all but a user preference.

This is a Gyro map, a non-permanent map that allows you to have a live visual tracking of your cleaning session. This map has a reporting purpose only and is not cuztomizable. A new map will be created for each new cleaning session.

The Gyro map quality may be impacted if the robot encounters too many obstacles while cleaning. Before running the robot vacuum cleaner, ensure to remove obstacles, power cords, clothing, or other potentially obstacles which might cause robot difficulties.

The Gyro map quality may also be impacted if the robot had difficulties to climb on a carpet, a door threshold, a chair leg...

The Gyro map has a maximum surface coverage of 19x19m (360m²), so please make sure to install your docking station accordingly.

Do not vacuum wet surfaces, any type of liquids, hot substances (embers, cigarettes), super fine substances (plaster, cement, ash, etc.), large sharp waste (glass), harmful products (solvents, abrasives, etc.), aggressive products (acids, cleaning products, etc.), inflammable and explosive products (oil or alcohol based).

Place the charging base station against a wall, on a flat surface and where the robot vacuum cleaner can easily find it.
This location must be free of any obstacles (including rugs). Leave at least 1,5 metre of space free to the left and the right, and 2 metres at the front of the base station. If the station is placed in a corner or difficult to find, the robot vacuum cleaner will not be able to reach it.
Place the base station's power cable along the wall.
For more information, refer to the instructions in your user manual.

Leave the charging base station plugged in permanently (the automatic recharge function will not be available if the charging station is not activated).

Yes, your robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with drop sensors that detect stairs and gaps.
