Keeping up with the latest software updates is an essential part of maintaining your devices, and the Kobold VR7 robot vacuum cleaner is no exception. Fortunately, with the Kobold app and an internet connection, updating your VR7 is a breeze. This process, known as an “over the air” update, can be done automatically or manually, depending on your preference.
By default, the VR7 will update itself automatically overnight, so you can wake up to a freshly updated cleaning machine. However, if you prefer to update your device manually, you can switch off the automatic updates and be notified about new updates instead. This gives you more control over when and how your robot vacuum cleaner is updated.
It's worth noting that safety and security updates will be pushed to the VR7 independently of your update preferences. This ensures that your device remains secure and functional at all times, regardless of your update settings.
While keeping your Kobold VR7 up-to-date is important, there may be times when the device experiences issues that require troubleshooting. Two common issues that users may encounter are related to the robot not being properly placed on the charging base or having a low battery level.
In the first case, the home LED will be yellow, indicating that the robot is not on the base or is not placed correctly. The solution is simple - make sure the robot is correctly docked on the base. An audio signal and an “LED shower” will confirm that the robot is connected correctly. Once the robot is properly docked, the home LED will turn green.
If the power LED is flashing red, this indicates that the battery level is too low. The solution is to dock the robot on the charging base and wait until the battery has reached a proper fuel level, which is above 20%. This will ensure that your VR7 has enough power to continue cleaning your floors.
In addition to these troubleshooting tips, it's also important to make sure your device is set up correctly. Enabling automatic updates in the robot settings within the app, ensuring that the robot has good WiFi coverage on the base, and not turning off WiFi overnight are all steps you can take to keep your Kobold VR7 running smoothly.
In conclusion, updating your Kobold VR7 robot vacuum cleaner is essential for maintaining its functionality and security. With the ability to update the device over the air, you can ensure that your cleaning machine is always up-to-date. By following the troubleshooting tips and setting up your device correctly, you can enjoy a hassle-free cleaning experience with your VR7.
