Important Safety Instructions
5
Always follow basic safety precautions, including:
Read ALL instructions before use.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of Junior in water or other liquids.
Unplug Junior from the wall outlet when he is not in use and before conducting maintenance.
Do not operate Junior or his charging station if they have been damaged in any way.

Junior’s Cleaning Behavior
Junior’s cleaning pattern may look quite different from the way a human would clean: he may spin in a gradually widening circle, follow along walls, or zigzag across a small area. Sometimes he may seem to be ignoring some spaces or spending too much time on others — but don’t worry! Junior will efficiently clean your home within the course of a full cycle — just check his dustbin for the evidence!
It is best to let Junior work in his own way, even if his movements appear odd.
Moving him around, manipulating his movements, or picking him up may confuse him and disrupt his cycle.
If you wish to control Junior’s movements manually, you may use the navigational buttons on his remote. If your rooms are divided by higher ledges than Junior is able to climb, you may block off the area using blOck’s digital barriers (available separately).
59
Junior’s Challenges
Unique Furniture
Junior is designed to maneuver around furniture of most shapes and sizes, but certain configurations may confuse him temporarily. Junior may sometimes find it difficult to clean under chairs with narrow legs, or furniture that is too low for his bumper sensors to detect. Specialty furniture, such as desk chairs with wheels or stools with circular bases, may also confuse him for a moment — but don’t worry, Junior usually finds his way around with time .
Edge Sensors
Junior uses infrared light to detect edges and stairs; because dark-colored carpet absorbs most light, it may seem like an edge to Junior’s sensors. If Junior indicates on his screen that there is “something funny going on” with his edge sensors, you may need to temporarily deactivate them. To do so, simply hold down the CHECKUP button on Junior’s cover until the 4 bars at the top of the screen flash 7 times and remain lit on his screen [see page 43]. Just remember that while Junior’s sensors are deactivated, he will not be able to detect edges or stairs!
Main Brush
Junior’s main brush, which is designed to reach deep into carpet, may also have trouble turning on rugs with long fibers or fringes. You may tuck fringes under rugs or remove
Junior’s main brush and see how he performs without it.
60
Inclines
Sometimes Junior will attempt to drive up angled surfaces and get stuck for a few minutes before deciding to clean somewhere else. This is because Junior wants to cover every spot in your home and will try his hardest to overcome any obstacle!
As long as Junior does not indicate on his screen that there is a problem, let him find his own way around your home and continue cleaning. Take note of the areas Junior finds the most challenging, and if possible spread or adjust some of your furniture accordingly.
The Solution: blOck
If Junior finds a part of your home challenging to clean, use blOck (available separately) to keep him away. blOck emits a digital barrier that Junior won’t cross.

FAQs
1. Where can I find Junior’s how-to videos?
Junior’s “training” videos can be found at Junior’s support page: bobsweep.com/junior-support .
2. How long should Junior’s battery last?
The exact time depends on the type of surface Junior is cleaning as well as the age of the battery. Generally, the smoother the surface (hardwood or tile, for example), the longer the battery will last. When fully charged, a brand new Junior usually cleans for just over an hour.
3. How do I know that my Junior has fully charged and is ready to clean?
When Junior charges using the adapter or charging station, the battery bars on his display screen flash and the word “Charging” lights up. When Junior has fully charged, the battery bars remain still and the word “Charging” disappears.
62
4. How often should I empty the dustbin?
Junior’s dustbin has a 1 L capacity — three times larger than most robotic vacuum cleaners on the market today! This means you may not need to empty the dustbin immediately after every cleaning. Depending on the size of the room and the amount of particles piled up, Junior can complete approximately six cleaning cycles before he fills his dustbin. Simply remove the dustbin and check to see if emptying is necessary.
5. How often should I clean Junior’s brushes?
Junior’s brushes do a lot of the work picking up hair and debris, so it is recommended that you clean the main and side brushes weekly if you are using Junior regularly. To thoroughly clean the brushes, remove them using a flat head screwdriver. Remember to clean the notches in Junior’s interior that hold his brushes in place. This ensures the brushes stay in peak condition for a long time.
6. My Junior won’t turn on no matter what I do.
If Junior does not start after flipping his power switch ON, his battery has likely drained too low to operate. To recharge him, place him directly onto his charging station with the metal plates on his underside lined up with the nodes on his station. Let Junior recharge fully before asking him to clean again. When Junior charges, the battery bars on his display screen flash and the word “Charging” lights up. When Junior has fully charged, the battery bars remain still and the word “Charging” disappears.
7. Why is Junior beeping?
Junior beeps once every 2 minutes when he is on standby mode. To conserve battery, turn his power switch OFF. You may also mute Junior’s beeping by pressing the MUTE button on his cover or remote.
Junior also beeps when he encounters a problem cleaning and needs assistance.
In this instance, he will also identify the source of the issue directly on his screen.
Consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual [page 47] to see what to do when
Junior is having trouble with one of his parts.
63
8. Junior is having trouble finding his charging station. Where is the best place to put his station?
Junior will find his station more easily if it you place it in a central location with plenty of space around it, so that he may detect it from afar. In order for Junior to dock properly, be sure to place the charging station against a wall on a flat, level surface.
9. I am having problems removing Junior’s brush.
If the main or side brush is difficult to remove, it is likely because hair, string, and/or other debris have been caught in it and are clogging the areas where it attaches to
Junior. It is best to clean Junior’s brushes about once a week to prevent buildup. You can use scissors to cut away hair wrapped around the brushes until you are able to remove them. You may need to gently pull the main brush up or down to reach the corners, but do not force the brush out as this can damage it.

10. Junior gets stuck under my furniture or travels over wires that tangle up his brush.
How can I stop him from going into these areas?
If Junior maneuvers under a piece of furniture and there is only one open entrance, he may need a few minutes to figure out how to exit on his own. You will not need to assist him when this happens, unless Junior stops cleaning completely and starts beeping.
If you would like Junior to avoid a certain area, such as an area with lots of wires, you may use blOck (available separately) to create a digital barrier.
11. Junior is telling me there’s “something funny going on” with one of his parts. How can I fix this?
Junior notifies you directly on his screen the specific reason his work has been interrupted. This self-scanning feature allows you to quickly identify the source of the problem. If “something funny” is going on with one of Junior’s parts, the problem can
usually be solved with simple procedures. Consult the Troubleshooting section of this manual [page 47] to see the most probable solutions.
12. What is the best way to clean Junior’s wheels?
Use the cleaning tool or compressed air to clear the creases of the wheels. For a more thorough clean, wipe the sides and bottoms of the wheels as they spin during the checkup test [see page 52].
13. My Junior just stopped cleaning and his screen turned off. What do I do next?
Like other electronic devices with a CPU (computers, smartphones, etc.), Junior may experience a momentary halt in his operating system. You can usually get Junior back to work by simply turning his power switch OFF and ON again. If this does not solve the issue, perform a mainboard reset. You can reset Junior’s mainboard by flipping his power switch OFF and plugging the charging adapter directly into the inlet on his side. Leave him to charge for at least 2 hours to fully refresh his system.
