After removing the vacuum cleaner from the box, you should, of course, remove the stickers and transport protectors from the bumper. The side brushes must be installed observing the direction of bending of the pile: the brush marked "L" to the left axis, and the brush "R" to the right.
The device must be fully charged before use. The manufacturer recommends not counting the hours until it is fully charged, but simply leaving it overnight. We noted, though, that the new device takes just under four hours to charge. During operation, the charging time was no more than two hours: the software saves battery life and makes the device go to the base long before reaching a critical level.
The base of the vacuum cleaner must be installed so that there are no objects interfering with it at a distance of one meter to the right and left. The free space in front of the base must be at least two meters. The manufacturer does not write about any requirements for the placement of mirrors, but we remember that reflective surfaces can also complicate the orientation of the device.
Before starting work, it is recommended to set the current time and optionally set the cleaning time according to the schedule. iBoto X320G allows one launch per day without the possibility of setting different times for workdays and weekends.
The switched on vacuum cleaner emits a low melodic signal and starts cleaning. In automatic mode, it moves like a snake, turning 90 ° and 180 ° when meeting obstacles. The robot makes almost no turns at other angles.
The randomization of the movement of the device is good. It is achieved not by turns by a random angle, but by sudden changes in the direction of rectilinear movement: the "snake" removes not the entire room, but separate, often not too large rectangular areas.

Due to its small size, the robot successfully penetrates into areas of the room that are hard to reach for most of its classmates and, most importantly, easily leaves them. We met robotic vacuum cleaners, which considered an insurmountable trap the space between the legs of an ordinary chair, slightly larger than the diameter of the device, and we note with satisfaction that the narrow spaces of the room did not frighten our vacuum cleaner - it does not suffer from claustrophobia.
When driving straight ahead in automatic mode, iBoto X320G tends to stop and freeze for 5-7 seconds, thoughtfully blinking signal diodes - like in pause mode. This happens not only when hitting an obstacle, but also when there is a completely free space in front of the sensors. After stopping, the device can continue to move in the selected direction, or it can turn at right angles to the right or left.
When you press the cleaning button along the walls, the vacuum cleaner moves to the nearest obstacle and tries to bypass it around the perimeter. If this obstacle is small, the robot realizes after a short time that it is bypassing the chair or table and leaves the area, trying to find the wall. Sooner or later, the search ends successfully, then cleaning around the perimeter continues until the critical battery charge is reached.
Turning on the local cleaning mode makes the vacuum cleaner move in gradually expanding concentric circles, first increasing and then decreasing them, and thus removes an even circle with a diameter of about a meter. From the center of the circle, the robot returns to automatic cleaning mode.
In the wet cleaning mode, this model evenly, without streaks and drops, wipes the surface, but does not collect dust and debris: the washing unit does not have a garbage container, so dry cleaning is necessary before washing the floor.
When the charge level drops to a minimum, the iBoto X320G turns off the suction, reduces the speed and slowly, continuing to work with the side brushes, goes to look for the base. The residual charge is enough for him on the way home: during the test operation, the robot never remained discharged outside the base.
