When the vacuum cieaner is in use, the lights
wilt change as dirt is being vacuumed. As long
as the red light is on, dirt is passing through
the handle to indicate that the surface still
needs cleaning,
When the sensor light changes to green,
the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to
warrant further cleaning of that area.
