How to set up MOAI?Please refer to the attached Guide for MOAI Set Up. This comprehensive document provides detailed instructions and steps to help you set up your MOAI device efficiently and effectively. If you have any further questions or encounter any issues during the setup process, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance. Important Notes: After powering on MOAI, do not place it directly back onto the charging dock. First, place it near the lower right side of the dock and quickly touch the center of the light ring with your thumb to let MOAI return to the dock itself. This ensures that MOAI returns to the dock with the correct posture and position. During the initial setup, make sure to wait for MOAI to return to the charging dock before proceeding with each step in the app. Complete all five steps—Robot Name, Work Area, Cleaning Schedule, Cruise Mode, and Spot Mode—before reaching Step 3-5-11 in the Guide for MOAI Set Up to use MOAI properly. Long pressing the center of the light ring will reset the MOAI WiFi. Be careful not to accidentally touch it while handling MOAI.

Why does MOAI not complete a manual cleaning cycle and return to the dock?If MOAI is set to clean on its schedule, you don't need to keep the app open.

How to care for MOAI during long periods of non-use?If the MOAI robot will not be used for an extended period, ensure that the charging dock is disconnected from the power source and the MOAI is turned off. For periods exceeding three months without usage, it's crucial to store the MOAI with a fully charged battery. Additionally, for prolonged storage, it is recommended to recharge the battery at least once every six months. Lithium batteries can suffer damage from over-discharge, necessitating periodic recharging. Recharging the battery every six months helps prevent over-discharge, thereby preserving its health and functionality. Keep the MOAI in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing the MOAI to extreme temperatures or moisture.
