Use and Care Manual

5. How often should I clean bObi’s brushes?
bObi’s brushes do a lot of work picking up hair and larger debris, so it is recom-
mended that you clean the main and side brushes every 1 to 4 uses.
However, if you clean them more frequently, bObi will be able to store more dirt in
her dustbin, rather than on her brushes. If you notice a thick covering of hair, dust,
and debris on her brushes, remove and clean them. Remember to clean the interior
of bObi where the brushes connect and where the dust ows to the dustbin to as-
sure they stay in good condition for a long time.
6. My bObi won’t turn on no matter what I do.
If bObi has not been charging for a long time and does not turn on when pressing
the side power button, or when placing her on her charging station, it’s likely that
the battery has been drained too low for bObi to operate. To recharge her, unplug
the adapter that normally attaches to the charging station and plug it directly into
the inlet on bObi’s side. Then, let bObi recharge fully before using again. Afterwards,
you will be able to charge bObi manually or automatically using the docking station.
If you place bObi on her charging station, always make sure to turn her ON rst, to
activate the charging plates on the bottom. When bObi is charging, the battery bars
on the display blink.
7. Why is my bObi beeping?
If bObi is left ON but she is not cleaning or charging, she makes a beeping sound
once every ve minutes to warn you that she is left unattended and her battery is
being drained. Place bObi on her station, or turn her OFF completely using the side
power button. You will have to switch this button ON the next time you want bObi
to clean.
bObsweep also makes this noise when she encounters problems cleaning and
needs your assistance. In addition to the chirp, you will see an error number (Err)
on the remote’s display which lets you know why your bObi has stopped. You can
decode this message by consulting the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
