Your first week sets the tone for years of family life with Optimus. Rushing setup leads to frustration; a methodical first seven days builds confidence for everyone — including kids and elderly family members.

Day 1: Unboxing & charging

Place the charging station in a central, accessible location — not a closet
Let Optimus complete its initial firmware check and self-diagnostics
Do NOT run room mapping on day one — let the family meet Optimus first
Run through the quick-start guide on the display with all family members present

Day 2–3: Room mapping

Map in daylight with floors clear of clutter and cables
Start with common areas: living room, kitchen, hallway
Add bedrooms and bathrooms on day 3
Mark no-go zones: stairs, utility closets, home office if desired

Kids are curious — let them watch mapping from a safe distance. It reduces fear and builds excitement for the first week.

Day 4–5: Family profiles

Create a profile for each family member with voice and preference settings
Set age-appropriate interaction levels for children
Configure elderly family member assist preferences (mobility level, medication schedule)
Assign a primary 'owner' account for settings changes

Day 6–7: First workflows

Run one housekeeping task end-to-end (vacuum the living room)
Try one family routine (morning kitchen tidy or evening dish loading)
Run the 30-minute safety orientation with kids and elders
Configure daily schedule windows so Optimus knows when it's 'work time' vs 'rest time'
