Robot needs to pause to charge battery - but all display is blinking
I am using a 2nd docking station for the upper flow and I am trying to get the Robot finish the full room. 1st Time it took too long time to re-load the battery and in the morning the Robot displayed 'stopped activity due to low battery - although it is standing on the docking station. On the main docking station for reloading only the "battery symboled" is blinking. on the 2nd docking station 4 symboled in total are blinking: play/pause - battery - middle bar - home - what is wrong

Hi @LaZi,
The old charging station will not work with your new robot. The Purei9.2 docking station has a different visual signature to the robot, which is similar but still different from the Purei9 docking station.
Also, the Purei9.2 models that have fast charging need a different power supply (the one on the bottom picture).Hope this helps!

I checked the status after 2 hours loading - still blinking and the battery symbole definitive still shows "low battery" - so the 2nd docking station is not loading - Question: I bought that 2nd loading station for my OLD Robot - can it be that it is not compatible with the new robot?
seems like I found the problem, but still this is room for improvement: I gently lifted the Robot at his back and the battery symbol changed to RED and then immediately to blinking white - now the other symbol are not blinking anymore - only the battery. (see picture) still: what can I do to fix the robot to recognize the loading station better? Thanks for answers
Did you place the docking station on a (soft) carpet? If yes, the back of the robot might sink into the carpet just a little too much to make reliable contact every once in a while.
Try if it gets any better when you place the docking station on hard floor. And of course there is the old "wipe-the-contacts-clean-on-both-the-robot-and-docking-station" routine (as if you hadn't already done that)
thanks for your effort: answer = NO; it is a carpet but hard based, still might be an effect as you described, anyway I fixed the power charging, but the robot did still not do the job - I believe it has to do that I have an 'old docking station from my former robot and the new one might need the right power: I also fixed this by switches the charger but keeping the old docking station - still the robot acts & cleans only 5-10 mins and then gives up - strange: he goes back to the docking station
okey, glad @frekan could clear this up
(I'm now spending my "sleepless nights" thinking about what in the world you might have done with your Pure i9.1 without the matching docking station and power supply)
Thanks for the hint about old station not working with new p92
that raise the question: since I got the old replaced am I entitled to get the station replaced too?
Sorry, I'm not sure what is applicable in your situation. I advice you to get in contact with customer service in your country for that.
