When the button is malfunctioning or you cannot turn off your robot, open the upper cover of your robot, press the Reset button, and your robot will restart automatically.
Note: The system reset will clear all scheduled cleaning tasks and cleaning modes, and delete the Wi-Fi network connections.

1. Enter the plug-in homepage, tap Settings (top right) > Scheduled Cleaning Add (lower right) in turn.
2. You can set the parameters in advance including cleaning range, starting time, repeated cleaning, cleaning mode, water volume (only for the robot with mopping function), etc.
3. Tap “” in the top right-hand corner to save your settings, and the cleaning is scheduled.

1. Make sure the robot is being charged and turned on.
2. Make sure your home Wi-Fi network is stable.
3. Update the firmware via Settings > Firmware Update with Mi Home App.
4. While updating, the lights on the robot will blink.

Causes for NOT Turning On:
1. System error, and the button is malfunctioning.
2. The robot cannot be turned on if it has a low battery. Put your robot onto the base/dock and charge it for a while, and turn it on.
3. If the robot still cannot be turned on after charging, reset all settings. If the issue remains unsolved, please contact customer service.

1. No-Go Zones: Before mopping, you can set the area where the carpet is located as the no-go zone in the Map Management section, and the robot will avoid the carpet while cleaning.
2. Intelligent Recognition: Some models equipped with ultrasonic carpet recognition will automatically recognize carpets and avoid them when mopping, preventing the mop pad from wetting carpets.
3. Organizing Your Home: If the carpet is placed at the door of the room and you want your robot to clean this room, you need to put away the carpet in advance.

After your robot sets out from the base, it will do self-locating and self-checking first. So your robot may turn around in place.

First use of Multi-floor Maps:
1. Place Your Robot: If you clean a certain floor with your robot for the first time, move your robot to the corresponding floor.
2. Floor Map: Tap Map Management > Creat on the plug-in homepage to create a new map for this floor.
3. Save this new map for further use.

Multi-floor Cleaning for Daily Use:
1. Place Your Robot: After the map for a certain floor is saved, move your robot to this floor.
2. Start Cleaning: Your robot will apply the corresponding map to this floor, you can start cleaning directly.

Causes for Incomplete Maps:

1. There are items at the door of the room, or the door of the room is not fully open. When your robot scans the entrance, it will misjudge that it cannot pass and avoid this area.
2. When the robot is scanning and mapping, people or pets walking around the robot will mislead the scanning and result in incomplete map creation.

1. Mapping: During the first-time mapping or re-mapping, do NOT move your robot in case the mapping FAILS.
2. Map Coverage: If the area to be cleaned is not mapped, the robot cannot clean this area even if you put your robot in this area.
3. Normal Cleaning: If the area to be cleaned is mapped, you can put your robot in this area and start cleaning.

1. A strange noise will sound while cleaning if the brush is entangled. Remove the brush, clear the foreign objects, and reinstall the brush.
2. Restart your robot after installing the brush to check whether the noise disappears.
3. If the strange noise remains, check the brush again or contact customer service.

Try the Following:
1. Restart your robot.
2. If the issue remains unsolved, reset the system.

1. Mop Pad Too Wet:
If the local climate is relatively humid, or the water stains are not easy to dry on indoor floors, you can select a slightly dry mop pad before mopping via Cleaning Settings > Humidity of Mop Pad > Slightly Dry.

2. Too Much Water in Fresh Tank:
If the local environment is relatively humid, or the water stains are not easy to dry on indoor floors, you can select a water volume for the water tank via Water Volume Settings > Low.

1. Your robot may be in the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode, in which it will not resume cleaning.
2. If you return your robot to the dock or recharge your robot manually, it will not resume cleaning.

1. While mapping, the robot will learn and map your home environment, and return to the dock/base. The map will not be saved unless the voice prompts that the mapping is completed.
2. If the robot is moved back to the dock/base while mapping, or the mapping is interrupted, the maps will not be saved or updated.

1. The robot will turn off automatically when the battery level is 0%.
2. The robot will run out of its battery and turn off automatically if it fails to charge its battery. The causes may be that the base is NOT powered on, or the robot and base are NOT connected.
3. An exception may occur to the system, please contact customer service.

First-time Mapping
While mapping, the paths will be so disordered that your robot can learn the environment as much as possible. Once
the map is saved, the cleaning paths will be clearer.

After Maps Saved
If the cleaning paths of your robot are in a jumble, please check the following:
1. Before Cleaning: Tidy up the scattered items on the floor such as power strips, toys, slippers, etc., to avoid frequent collisions and chaotic cleaning paths.
2. While Cleaning: If the wheels are covered with dirt or oil, or get trapped by foreign objects, clean the wheels to ensure the robot moves normally.
3. While Cleaning: If the robot collides with objects many times while cleaning, it will clean along edges and walls briefly and then resume an S-shaped cleaning pattern.
4. Recurrence: If the cleaning paths are disordered, update the firmware to the latest version, reset maps, and map your house again

1. Remove the brush cover, take out the brush, and clean the foreign objects on the brush.
2. Re-install the brush after cleaning, rotate it by hand to check whether it works smoothly.
3. Make sure the brush cover clicks in place when re-installing.

1. Check to ensure that the resume cleaning function is enabled.
2. The resume cleaning function cannot be enabled in DND (Do Not Disturb) mode.
