Vacuum programmes
Trilobite has three vacuum programmes:
“Normal” Trilobite first plots the room by following the walls
(wall mapping) and then vacuums all open surfaces.
“Quick” The same as Normal, however without Wall
Mapping.
“Spot” Trilobite vacuums an area of about one square
metre twice.
Refer to page 27 for more information on how to proceed
and when to use the different programmes.
Starting vacuuming
You will probably use the Normal programme most of the time.
This programme starts with Trilobite approaching a wall and
then mapping the walls in the room by left turns.Trilobite first
travels one full circumference of the room continually turning
left. Depending on the size and layout of the room, wall mapp-
ping may last for up to 15 minutes (25 minutes if it has found
the charger).After this,Wall Mapping ends, and vacuuming
commences.
Main cleaning program
During the main cleaning sequence,Trilobite moves freely all
over the room.Trilobite “sees” its way around with the help of
harmless ultrasound.This is the same technique that is used by
bats for navigation in the dark, for instance, and for foetal diag-
nosis in hospitals.When it discovers an object in its path,
Trilobite stops a few centimetres in front of it and then changes
direction.Trilobite can handle most obstacles. However, if it gets
stuck, it will continue with its cleaning program if you release it
within 20 minutes, put it back down on the floor within 30
seconds and press the “Continue Cleaning” button.
Charging
If Trilobite locates the charger during Wall Mapping (or by
chance during Quick vacuuming), it will return to the charger
unit whenever the battery charge falls below a specific level.
Once the batteries have been charged,Trilobite goes to work
again until the room has been vacuumed.When the work is
done,Trilobite returns to the charger.
If Trilobite cannot find the charger during Wall Mapping and
the battery voltage becomes too low, it will stop somewhere
in the room.
Trilobite
Trilobite navigates using ultrasound. During Wall Mapping, it
receives information about the size of the room.Wall mapping
serves as the basis for the estimated duration for independent
vacuuming in the Normal vacuuming mode.
NOTE! Trilobite is not fully charged upon delivery. Before
using it the first time, connect it to the battery charger. (Refer
page 24.) A full battery charge requires approximately two
hours.
Battery charger
Put the battery charger on the floor, connect it to the mains
and place it with its rear side facing the wall.Allow a free space
of 0.2 metres on the right side of the charger.When Trilobite
has completed Normal vacuuming, it returns to the charger.
The batteries are then charged and it is ready for more work.
Magnetic strips
The magnetic strips serve as “virtual walls” and are important
for correct operation. Use them to e.g., block door and wall
openings and staircases. (Refer to page 25.)
NOTE! Be sure to block staircases, landings, etc. with the magnetic
strips. If you do not do this, Trilobite can pass over e.g., a staircase
landing and cause injuries and damage to property.
A magnetic strip that has once been removed has poorer adhesive
capability.We therefore strongly recommend that you attach the
necessary strips once and for all. Never reuse a magnetic strip on
a stair or in any other important application where safety is an
important parameter. If you nonetheless choose to let the mag-
netic strip lie unfastened on the floor, make sure that the side
with the adhesive (with the protective paper backing) faces
downwards! Use a pair of scissors or a knife to trim the magne-
tic strip to the correct length. See page 9 in the user instructions
to see how the magnetic strip should be fitted. Magnetic strips
are available in a range of lengths and versions, see page 32.
Emptying the dust collector
Empty the dust collector when the dust collector icon lights
in the display. Be sure to empty the dust collector if it is not
completely full.The light indicator may be due to e.g., a
blocked filter.
Functional Description
Charger
Place the charger close to a wall.
This way, Trilobite will find the
charger in the Wall Mapping mode.
Start
Start Trilobite directly from the
charger or face it towards a wall
at a distance of 0.5 m. Start
vacuuming (see page 27).
Wall mapping
Trilobite starts by first travelling
along the walls of the room to
establish the size of the room.
Cleaning
In the Vacuum Cycle, Trilobite
moves through the room at its own.

NOTE! To make it easier to find the
charger, start Trilobite towards a
wall close to the charger.
