Charging and Installing the Battery Before you use Looj, charge the included 7.2V battery pack for 24 hours. Looj batteries are designed to power Looj through 150 linear feet of gutter on a single charge, including the time to drive Looj back and forth during cleaning. Do not leave Looj’s battery plugged into the charger for more than 24 hours, as it may reduce the battery life. Battery Tips • Remove all batteries and store in a cool dry place when not in use.
Using the Remote Control Handle The remote control handle detaches from Looj and is used to command the robot from a distance of up to 75 feet, depending upon interference and environmental conditions. The remote control handle keeps your hands clean and makes it easy to place the robot in and out of the gutter using only one hand. Install two AAA alkaline batteries (not included) in the remote control handle before operating. Always use the same brand of batteries in the remote control handle.
Attaching the Looj Belt Clip Using iRobot Looj ® The Looj belt clip is designed to hold Looj while you climb up and down the ladder. Always use the belt clip or the optional holster accessory (see below) when using Looj on a ladder. To use the belt clip, remove your belt and thread it through the belt slots. The robot hook should be on the bottom of the clip when attached to your belt. Attach the robot to the robot clip. ™ Always test Looj before using it.
7. Press the remote power button. The light on the remote control handle blinks when it is transmitting signals to the robot. 8. Once Looj is clear of the ladder, choose the desired rotational direction by pressing the auger spin direction button on the remote control handle. TIP: Note that one direction will spin the debris away from the house and the other direction will spin the debris onto the roof. Test the spin direction before driving the robot down the gutter. 9.
Storing Looj Store iRobot Looj in a cool, dry place. After charging store Looj and its battery between 50˚ and 80˚ F (10˚-26˚ C). Excessive heat or cold may reduce battery life and product performance. For best results, we recommend removing both the battery pack from the robot and the batteries from the remote control handle when the product is stored.
