The robot is in a powered-off state for shipping or storage. It needs to be activated.
- Slide the robot directly onto the charging station contacts.
- The light ring should illuminate after a few minutes, and you'll hear a startup sound.
If that didn't work: The battery may be deeply discharged. Leave it on the charging station for 3 hours before trying again. For the first use, a 3-hour charge is required.
Heads up: The robot uses a small amount of power whenever it's on the charging station. For long-term storage, turn it off completely by removing it from the station and holding the HOME button down for 10 seconds until all lights go out.
