How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Keep the robot on the dock with stable power.

  • Hard reboot: Perform a full power cycle according to the user manual (often holding the power button for 10–15 seconds).

If E20 remains after firmware recovery attempts, the main control board's memory may be damaged and require replacement.
