When the robot is charging in a charging station, the status lights on the side
of the robot indicate the robot's battery percentage.
3.2 Signal lights
Signal lights are used to indicate the robot’s immediate motion plans by signaling forwards-
backwards-braking and left-right turns.
The signal lights work similarly to lights used on cars; white at the front, red at the back, and
indicating a left or right turn by blinking.
When the robot drives with muted Protective fields, for example, when docking to a
charging station, all signal lights blink yellow.
3.3 Speakers
In
Setup > Sounds
, you can upload new sounds to the robot or edit the volume and length of
the default sounds.
Sounds are used in missions and can be used as alerts: “Please step aside” or to attract
peoples attention, for example, when the robot has arrived at a position.
When the robot drives with muted Protective fields it emits a warning sound. In
System >
Settings > Safety system
, you can choose which sound the robot makes and the volume of
the sound.
CAUTION
Changing the safety system can cause the robot to not comply with safety
standards.

Do not disable the sound in the safety system.
