How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the dock before cleaning contacts.
- Verify power: Confirm the dock's power adapter is plugged in and the outlet works.
- Clean contacts: Wipe both robot and dock contacts with a dry cloth. Use a pencil eraser to remove light oxidation, then wipe again.
- Check alignment: Manually place the robot on the dock, ensuring both contacts touch firmly. Adjust dock position if needed.
- Observe charging: Plug the dock back in and watch for charging indicators. If contact is intermittent, the dock or robot contact springs may need replacement.
