Cleaning Modes:
- Auto Cleaning: The robot cleans in a random pattern, touching up edges, chair legs, and other furniture. It continues until an entire level is cleaned or returns to the Charging Dock if the battery is low.
- Floor Mopping Cleaning: (Requires a separately sold water tank and cleaning cloth) The robot can mop floors. Users attach the cloth, fill the water tank, replace the dust bin with the water tank, and start the robot.
- Spot Cleaning: The robot intensely cleans a localized area by spiraling outward about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter and then spiraling inward. It boosts vacuum power for best results. Activated by placing the robot on debris and pressing the Spot button on the remote.
- Edge Cleaning: After cleaning open areas, the robot cleans along walls and around furniture legs. Can be initiated faster by pressing the Edge button on the remote.
- Max Vacuuming Cleaning: Increases the robot's vacuum power for a deeper clean, activated by the MAX button on the remote. Off by default.
- Single Room Cleaning: The robot intensively cleans one single room for 30 minutes. Users should confine the robot to the room by closing the door. Activated by a dedicated button on the remote.
- Manual Cleaning: Users can direct the robot to clean a particular area using the directional buttons on the remote control (move forward, turn left, turn right, move backward).
Scheduling:
- Cleaning Schedule: Allows customization of cleaning times via the remote control. Requires correct local time, AM/PM setting, and the remote control to be near the robot during setup. Schedule accuracy is every 15 minutes.
- Setting Clock: Press the clock setup button, use arrow buttons to select hour/minute, then press the play/pause button to confirm.
- Setting Schedule: Press the scheduling button, use arrow buttons to select hour/minute, then press the play/pause button to confirm.
- Canceling Schedule: Press and hold the scheduling button for approximately 4 seconds.
Boundary Strip (Sold Separately):
- Allows users to block off specific areas or items the robot should not clean. The robot recognizes the strip and will not cross it.
- Installation: Identify the area to block, cut the strip to length if needed, and apply adhesive tape to lay it flat on the floor.
- Important Notes: Ensure the strip is flat; it may not work if rolled up. Place the strip on the same surface plane as the robot. Be careful not to damage the floor with adhesive tape. Not recommended for carpets. Keep away from objects that emit excessive heat.
Safety Precautions:
- Indoor use only.
- Pick up loose objects (clothing, papers, cords, fragile items) before use.
- Not a toy; supervise children and pets during operation.

- Three beeps: Cliff sensors dirty, robot hanging over a drop, or stuck on a dark surface. Action: Clean cliff sensors with dry cloth, start cleaning in a new location, use boundary strip or physical barrier.
- Four beeps: Battery power low, robot cannot return to charging dock. Action: Manually place robot on charging dock, ensure no obstacles in front of dock, wipe charging contacts on dock and robot with dry cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Robot cannot be activated: Check main power switch, battery charge, remote control batteries, remote range, and try turning off/on the main power switch.
- Remote control does not work: Replace batteries, ensure robot is on and charged, note limited range (5m/16.5ft).
- Robot stops working suddenly: Check for obstacles, low battery, or try turning off/on the main power switch.
- Cannot schedule cleanings: Ensure main power switch is on, time/AM/PM are set correctly, and robot's power is not too low.
- Suction power is weak: Check for obstructions in suction inlet, empty dust collector, clean filters (vacuum or brush), air-dry wet filters.
- Robot cannot be charged: Check if charging base indicator lights up (contact Coredy if not), dust off charging contact pins, listen for a beep when docked (contact Coredy if no beep).
- Robot cannot return to Charging Base: Remove objects within 3ft/1m to the left/right and 6ft/2m in front of the base. Be patient if the base is far away. Clean charging contact pins.
- Rolling brush does not rotate: Clean rolling brush, check if rolling brush and brush guard are installed properly.
- Robot's movements or travel path are abnormal: Clean sensors with a dry cloth, restart robot by turning power switch off and on.
