Introducing Your Roomba FloorVac

Congratulations! You are now the owner of the award-winning Roomba™ Intelligent FloorVac.

Your Roomba FloorVac is an automated floor-cleaning device that helps keep your floors clean between periodic deep cleanings, without needing to be pushed or followed around. With a vacuum and agitator brush design, this device diligently cleans common household floor surfaces including hardwood, linoleum, tile and low- to medium-pile carpets, with little or no human supervision.

When Roomba starts cleaning it travels around the floor in a spiral pattern (see Figure 1, below). Its Non-Marring Bumper will contact a wall, or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for a while. Roomba follows the wall for a short period of time, using its Spinning Side Brush to move debris away from the wall and into the Vacuum’s path. After cleaning along a portion of the wall or other object, Roomba criss-crosses the room in straight lines. Roomba repeats this cleaning pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed. This pattern is designed to provide maximum coverage of the room.

Figure 1: A typical Roomba cleaning pattern.

(approximately twelve hours for a fully discharged Battery Pack).

Figure 5a: The Battery Charger is connected to the Battery Charger AC Adapter, and then inserted into Roomba’s Charge Socket.

Using Your Roomba

Setting Up the Room for Cleaning

1. For optimal cleaning performance, clear your floor of objects just as you would before using a regular vacuum cleaner. Do not leave the following items on the floor: clothing, loose papers, pull cords for blinds or curtains, power cords, or any fragile items. In addition, because Roomba contacts walls, furniture and other objects as it cleans, please remove any items that may be pushed and knocked over by light contact from Roomba.

Avoid using Roomba on carpets with tassels or fringe edges.

Not recommended for use on shag or deep-pile carpets.

2. Roomba is designed to clean one room at a time. Confine Roomba to the room you want cleaned by closing all doors and use the Virtual Wall Unit to block all open door ways. See page 9 for instructions on using the Virtual Wall Unit.

Observe Roomba the first time it cleans a room to confirm it does not get wedged under or stuck on top of uneven surfaces.

Caring for Your Roomba

Your Roomba requires very little maintenance; however, before each use, you should empty Roomba’s Particle Bin (2 steps). The Vacuum Inlet (see Figure 3b) and Cleaning Brushes must also be removed and checked after every 10 floor cleanings – and, if necessary, cleaned.

If there is pet hair or long hair in your home, you may need to remove hair and other debris from the Cleaning brushes more frequently. If so, check the Cleaning Brushes (including their ends, or axles) every five floor cleanings to prevent build-up of hair, which can degrade cleaning performance. The Cleaning Brush axles cannot be checked without removing the brushes from Roomba.

Note: Caring for the Cleaning Brushes involves completely removing them (see instructions on pages 14-15) to examine and clean the Brush Axles, as well as the Brushes themselves.

Starting Roomba

1. Always empty the Particle Bin before use (a simple two-step process; see Emptying the Particle Bin on Page 10).

2. Place Roomba on the floor in the middle of an open area in the room.

3. Turn on the Main Power Switch, located on the right side of the device (see Figure 3a).

4. Select your room size according to the chart. Press the S, M, or L Button (these are the Room Size Buttons).

Roomba will play a short start up tune and then start cleaning. Note: Powering up Roomba off the

ground may prevent the unit from operating until you place it on the ground, turn the power off, then on again.

5. Once you start Roomba, you only need to supervise it the first time it cleans a room. Identify areas where it gets stuck, then move problem objects out of the room or modify them or block them with the Virtual Wall Unit provided. Please refer to the illustration entitled “Roomba Care Hints” on Pages 12-13, as well as Troubleshooting Tips on Page 16 to help identify and easily fix problem areas. After this first use, there is no need to supervise the device unless you are operating it around small children or pets.

6. When Roomba is finished cleaning it will stop and play a cheerful tone sequence. It will flash its buttons and periodically beep for five minutes to remind you that it is done, then turn itself off.

Stopping Roomba

Roomba’s cleaning cycle can either be paused or stopped at any time.

1. To pause Roomba while it is cleaning, simply pick it up by its handle. The Room Size Button previously selected will flash. To unpause Roomba and continue the current cleaning cycle, simply press the flashing Room Size Button.

2. To stop Roomba and clear the current cleaning cycle, press any one of the Room Size Buttons while it is cleaning, or turn Roomba’s Power Switch off and on again. Roomba is now ready to start a fresh cleaning cycle. Press your choice of Room Size Button to start cleaning (making sure the Particle Bin is empty).

Cleaning the Main Brushes

It is important that you regularly remove and clean the Brushes of your Roomba. Debris can accumulate around the Brushes and the brush ends, or axles, causing a decrease in cleaning ability and potentially damaging the unit.

In most households it’s a good idea to clean the Brushes after every ten floor cleanings. In houses with pets or long hair, clean the Brushes after every five floor cleanings. Note that the Cleaning Brush axles cannot be checked without removing the Brushes from Roomba. It is a simple process that you will master quickly with a little practice.

1. Turn Roomba’s Main Power Switch off and place Roomba upside down (cleaning surface up) on a flat surface, with the Front Bumper facing away from you.

2. Unlatch the Wire Guards that cover the Brushes by pushing the Release Tab backward (see Figure 12a). Pull the rear of the hinged Wire Guards up and out of their slots, and then swing them up toward the front of the device (Figure 12b).

3. Unscrew the screw located on the right side of the Self-Adjusting Cleaning Deck with a Phillips-head screwdriver (Figure 12c). Remove the screw and pull up the Brush Coupler (see inset in Figure 12d), the component that holds the Brushes in place on the right side of the unit. The Brushes will come up with the Brush Coupler.

Figure 12a-b: Unlatch the Wire Guards by pushing each of the two Release Tabs forward (away from you) while pushing down on the Wire Guards to elongate them, swinging the Wire Guards up and over the tabs. Once the Wire Guard has been freed from both Release Tabs, it can be swung up and away, exposing the Brushes.

4. Pull the Brush Coupler off the end of the Brushes, then pull the Brushes to the right and up, free of the device (Figure 12d).

5. Clean any hair or other debris off the Brushes.

6. Clean any debris from around the Brush ends, or axles (Figure 13).

Reassembling the Brushes

1. Put the Self-Adjusting Cleaning Deck back together by inserting the square ends of the two Brushes into the square sockets in the Cleaning Deck.

2. Insert the other ends of the Brushes into the small holes in the Brush Coupler.

3. Lower the Brush Coupler into its slot and screw in the screw.

4. Swing the Wire Guards back in place and snap them down into their slots.

Maintaining the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush

Periodically check the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush by spinning it to ensure debris has not built up underneath it. If it seems to be obstructed, remove and clean the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush.

1. Turn Roomba off and empty the Particle Bin. Turn Roomba over so the cleaning surface is up. Place it on a flat surface.

2. Turn the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush so the Screw Head can be accessed (see Figure 14). Point the screw head towards Roomba’s bumper, as shown in the image.

3. Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the holding screw. Place the screw aside.

4. Pull the Side Brush up and off of Roomba.

5. Clean out any hair or other debris that may have been caught under the Brush or on the Side Brush Shaft.

6. Push the Side Brush back onto the Side Brush Shaft. Screw the holding screw securely into the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush, being careful not to over tighten.

Figure 12c-d: Remove the screw on the Self-Adjusting Cleaning Deck and pull out the plastic Brush Coupler and the two Brushes.

My Roomba Gets Stuck

Your Roomba may occasionally get stuck, especially in rooms that it has not cleaned before. If it does get stuck, Roomba will try to free itself by turning in different directions. If it cannot free itself Roomba will flash its Room Size Buttons and periodically beep for five minutes to let you know it is stuck, before shutting off to conserve power. Your Roomba might get stuck for several reasons.

1. It is wedged or pinned between or under narrowly spaced objects.

2. A cord, string, rug fringe or carpet tassel is wound around its Brushes or Wheels.

3. One of the Wheels is no longer in contact with the ground.

4. Roomba bumps into objects and repositions them in such a way that an exit path no longer exists.

Move or block any object that Roomba gets stuck on or under. Please refer to the illustration entitled “Roomba Care Hints” on Pages 12-13 to help identify and easily fix these problem areas.

Once the problem areas have been amended, begin a new cleaning cycle by turning the Main Power Switch off then on again. Select your room size to start cleaning by pressing the S, M, or L Room Size Button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why doesn’t my Roomba clean my floor in straight lines?

A: Roomba uses an algorithm-based cleaning pattern to clean your home most efficiently. When Roomba starts cleaning it travels around the floor in a spiral pattern (see Figure 1 on Page 3). Its Non-Marring Bumper will contact a wall, or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for a while. Roomba follows the wall for a short period of time, utilizing its Spinning Side Brush to move particles away from the wall and into the Vacuum’s path. After cleaning along a portion of the wall or other object, Roomba criss-crosses the room in straight lines. Roomba repeats this cleaning pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed. This sophisticated navigation ensures that Roomba will clean your whole room as thoroughly as possible.

Q: Are pets and children safe around Roomba?

A: Roomba has been designed with a number of safety features, including automatically shutting off when it is picked up or gets stuck. Children and pets should always be supervised around Roomba for optimum safety and cleaning performance.

Q: Does Roomba clean corners and along the walls?

A: Roomba has a Spinning Side Brush that cleans next to walls, most corners and other tough to reach places.

Q: Will it go under kickboards, beds, and furniture?

A: Roomba has been designed to fit under the kickboards in your kitchen. If your bed or furniture is more than 4” off the floor, Roomba will happily clean underneath.

Q: What powers Roomba?

A: Roomba is powered by a NiMH Rechargeable Battery Pack.

Q: How much suction power does Roomba have?

A: Roomba uses a unique, three-stage cleaning system. Two counter-rotating Brushes sweep up larger particles, while a small, extremely efficient vacuum sucks up the smaller particles. The Spinning Side Brush sweeps debris from corners and edges of the room into Roomba’s main cleaning path. This allows Roomba to get impressive cleaning performance using only 30 Watts, much less power than is required by traditional upright vacuums.

Q: How long will the Battery Pack’s charge last?

A: The life of a fully-charged Battery Pack is dependent on the floor surface to be cleaned. A single charge can last from about 60 minutes (on medium pile carpet) to about 90 minutes (on hard floor surfaces).

Q: How many rooms will Roomba clean before the Battery Pack needs to be recharged?

A: It depends on the floor surface to be cleaned. For typical operation, Roomba cleans three 14’ x 16’ medium-size rooms.

Q: How long does it take to recharge the Battery Pack?

A: The Battery Charger that comes with Roomba takes up to 12 hours to recharge the Battery Pack. As of February 2003, you can also purchase the Rapid Charger accessory that recharges the Battery Pack within about two and a half hours. Contact your nearest Roomba retailer for availability, or visit www.RoombaVac.com for online purchase options and more purchase information.

Q: Is Roomba safe to use when I leave my home?

A: Roomba can operate unattended, so long as small children and pets are not present to interfere with Roomba’s operation, and loose objects have been picked up.

Q: Does Roomba pick up pet hair?

A: Roomba picks up pet hair very effectively from carpet as well as hard surfaces. As with most vacuums, if pet hair is an issue in your house you may need to empty the Particle Bin and clean the Brushes more frequently to reduce the chance of clogging. Removing and cleaning the Main Brushes after every five room cleaning is recommended in these cases. See Page 9 for instructions on Caring for Your Roomba.

HELPFUL HINT: If there is a lot of pet hair in the room (such as the first time Roomba cleans the room), the Cleaning Head will pick up a large amount of it. If the room is medium or large, you may want to use the "small room" setting a few times, enabling Roomba to stop cleaning after a short period of time so you can remove the collected pet hair. Upon completion of this process, you should be able to run Roomba on larger room settings (i.e. for longer cleaning periods), with a reduced chance of clogging from pet hair.

Q: Do you offer spare parts?

A: Certain spare parts are available for U.S. customers only. Please contact us with your request. Email us at roomba-support@irobot.com or call toll-free 1-877-855-8593.

Q: How can I find out more about Roomba?

How Roomba cleans a room

When Roomba s t a rts a typical cleaning cycle it first travels around the floor in a spiral pattern (see Figure 1).Its Non-Mar r ing Bumper will contact a wall,or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for a while.Roomba fol lows the wall for a short per i o d of time , using it s spinning, Edge-Cleaning Side Brush to move debris away from the wall and into the Vacuum’s path. After cleaning a long a por t ion of the wall or oth e r o bj ect,Roomb a crisscrosses the room in straight lines.For most ofRoomba’s cleaning cycles, Roomb a re peat s t his clea ni ng patter n unti l its clean ing time has elapsed,prov iding maximum coverage of the room . I n n ew Sp ot C leaning mode (new in Pro and Pro Elite),Roomba cleans a 3-foot-diameter area using a slow,high-efficiency spiral pattern.This pattern allows Ro omba to focus intense cleaning over a soiled area.In new MAX Cleaning mode (Pro Elite or Remote),Roomba excels at cleaning multiple rooms,or an extra large area — at the touch of a single button.

3. Press the green Power Button on top of Roomba to turn it on.

4. Select the cleaning cycle you want according to the chart in Figure 8,and press the corresponding Cleaning Cycle Button to s t art.Roomba will play a short start-up tune and start the cleaning cycle.

Note: If yo u wa nt t o c l e a n a sm a ll area up to 3 feet wide,where there is extra dirt or where something dry has spilled,place

Roomb a in th e cente r of the area to be cleaned and select the Spot Button.Roomba will intensively clean this area.Repeat as necessary.

5. You only need to super v ise Ro o m b a t h e fir s t time i t c l eans a room.Identify areas whe re it gets stuck,then move problem obje cts off t h e f l o or or out of the room ,mo d i fy the m or b lo c k t h em with t he Virtua l Wall Unit provided. Please refer to the

page 21 ofthis manual to help identify and easily fix problem areas.After this first use,there should be no need to super v i s e Ro omb a unless you are operating it around small children or pets.

6. When Roomba is finished cleaning in all cleaning c ycles except MAX Clea ning , it will stop and play a cheerf u l tu ne. The MAX Cleaning Cycle enables Roomba to clean for the maximum amount oftime,until its batteries are fully discharged; consequently,when Roomba fi nishe s a MAX Cleaning Cycle,it will stop and play its “Battery Low”tune.In all cases,all of Roomba’s Cleaning Cycle Buttons will glow green,and Roomba will periodically beep for five minutes to remi n d you that it's done,then turn itself off to conserve power.

Using Your Roomba

Preparing the Room for Cleaning

1. Clear your floor of objects just as you would before using a regular vacuum cleaner:clothing,loose papers,pull cords for blind s or c urtains , power cords,and sm a l l or f r agile items.Because Roomba gently contacts walls,furniture and other objects a s it cle ans ,pleas e remove any items that may be knocked over by lig ht contact from Roomba.

Avoid using Roomba on carpets with long tassels or fringe edges. It may become stuck on long fringe. See the Quick Start Guide for tips. Not recommended for use on shag or deep-pile carpets.

2. Roomba’s S,M and L Room Size Buttons are designed to clean one room at a time (see Figure 8).The MAX Cleaning setting (Pro Elite/Roomba Remote only) is designed to clean an extra large room or multiple room s, but may be us e d to clean on e ro om i ntens ively.Con fi n e Ro omba to t he area you want c l e aned by closing a ll do ors and use the Virtual Wall Unit to block all open doorways.See

Observe Roomba the first time it cleans a room to make sure it doesn’t get wedged under or stuck on top of uneven surfaces. Roomba automatically senses stairs and turns away from them. However, if the room to be cleaned contains a balcony, a physical barrier should be used to prevent access to the ledge and ensure safe operation.

Roomba Remote Notes:

• Virtual Wall Units and the Roomba Remote:If you drive Ro o mba Pro | Pro Elite into the beam of a Virtual Wall,

Roomb a wil l be e p, b ut become blinded to commands from the Remote .Th e Ro omb a Rem ote a nd t he Virtual Wall Unit both use Infrared beams,and Roomba’s beam receiver can only pick up one beam at a time.For safety reasons,the Virtual Wall Unit’s beams al w a ys ta ke precedence over the Roomba Remote.In this case,to continue using the Remote, you w ill need to either pick up Roomba, tur n o f f the Vir t u al Wall Un it , or wai t u nt il the Virt ual Wall Uni t autom a tic ally powers down af ter two hours.

• Driving Roomba toward walls or staircases: If yo u d rive Ro om b a into a wall or too close to the top ofa staircase,it

will stop and beep ifyou try to go forward.Press the left or rig ht side of the Control Pad to turn Roomba in place until Roomb a is po i nting away from the obstacle.Roomba will now drive forward. It is a good idea to avoid driving Roomba near staircases using the Remote.

1. Powering Roomba Up and Down Remotely: Press t h e Power

Button on t h e Re mo te . If Roomba was off it will turn on with a beep,and its Batter y Indicator Light will glow.Press the Power Button again to turn Roomb a of f . Note: the Power Button on the Roomba Remote only turns Roomba Pro | Pro E l i te on an d of f . Li ke most othe r re m o t e s , the Roomba Remote requ i re s no power sw itch of its own .

2. Drive Roomba to the Dirt: Turn R oomba on, and use th e Rem ote’s

Control Pad (see Figure 12) to drive Roomba where you want it to clean. Roomba cl e ans a s you d rive it. To reverse direction,use the Control Pad to turn in place clo ckwise or counter-clo ckwise,then drive straight once Roomb a is po i nt e d in the desired direction.

3. Starting, Pausing and Stopping a Cleaning Cycle: To start

Roomb a Pro | Pro Elite cle a n i n g with the Remote,either place Roomba in the middle ofthe room or drive it to the middle of the room (see #2 above).Press the Cleaning Cycl e B u tton o n the Re mote and Roomba wi ll begin cleaning.The Roomba Remote’s Cleaning Cycle Buttons work much as they do on Roomba Pro | Pro Elit e . See

Starting Roomba on p ag e 9 a s

well a s Pausing and Stopping Ro omb a on p age 10.

4. Spot Cleaning with the Remote: To drive Roomba to a specific area

to be cleane d such a s spi l le d plant s oil or kitty litter,drive Roomba to the dirt (see #2 above).Once it’s in the middle of the soiled area,push the Spot Cle an i ng but ton an d let Roomba go to work.

5. Spot Cleaning with the Remote During a Cleaning Cycle: You

can also use the Roomba Remote to interrupt a cleaning cycle and drive Roomb a t o an are a that needs intensive cleaning.Pointing the Remote at Roomb a , push t h e red Pause button on the Remote to pause the cur rent cleaning cycle,and dr ive Roomba to the new area (see # 2 above).Once you ar e finished Spot Cleaning,press any Cleaning Cycle Button except the Spot Button to u n -pause Roomba and c ontinue the p aused cleani ng cycle.

10"

• Keeping tabs on Roomba’s state: The Roomba Remote has all the same buttons as on Roomba Pro | Pro Elite,but

its buttons do not light up as they do on Roomba to help keep you informed ofRoomba’s state.Always look at Roomba to determine it’s state.

• The Pause Button: The red Pause Button on the Roomba Remote may be pressed dur ing any cleaning cycle to Pause

Roomb a . This b u t t on may be thought of as a “panic button”:it only pauses Roomba.Once Roomb a i s p au se d , a dd it i ona l presses of t h i s button have no effect.

Tip: Can’t find Roomba once it’s finished its work? Point the Roomba Remote in the general direction that you think

Roomb a may be hiding.Press the Power Button on the Roomba Remote over and over.If Ro o m b a can “see”the Re m o t e , it will b e ep to start up.

Using the Roomba Remote with Roomba Pro

The Roomba Remote is designed for use with Roomba Pro Elite ,but i s a ls o comp at i bl e w i t h Room b a Pro.As a n a dd e d benefit for Roomba Pro owners,all of the features of Roomba Pro Elite are available to Roomba Pro users,including MAX Cleaning mode. However,this feature works slightly differently with Roomba Pro,as described below.

• Starting MAX Cleaning with Roomba Pro: If Roomba Pro i s o f f,turn it on (see Feature #1 in Usin g the Roomba

Remote on p ag e 13), and press the MAX Button on the Roomba Remote.Roomba will play its “Starting a Cleaning Cycle”

tune and begin a MAX cleaning cycle.Roomba typically lets you k now what Cleaning Cycle it’s in by illuminating the correspon ding C l eaning Cycle Button.Sin ce Roomba Pro does not have a MAX Cleaning Cycle Button,no Cleaning Cycle Button is i l lu m i nat ed w h i l e Ro omb a Pro i s i n a MAX C l e a ning Cycl e .

• Pausing MAX Cleaning with Roomba Pro: Once in MAX Cleaning Cycle,you can pause the cleaning cycle in a

variety of ways — pressing the red Pause Button or any Cleaning Cycle Button on the Remote,picking Roomba Pro up or pressing any Clean i ng Cycle Button on Roomba Pro.When Roomba is paused,it ty pically lets you know what Cleaning Cycle is paused by flas hin g the c o rre sponding Cleaning Cycle Button.Since Roomba Pro does not have a MAX Cleaning Cycle But t o n,n o Cleaning Cycle Button is flashing while Roomba Pro is paused during a MAX Cleaning Cycle.In this case,Roomba Pro’s control panel may look a bit confusing. Here’s how to tell that Roomba is paused in a MAX Cleaning Cycle: I f non e of the Cle aning Cycle buttons are illuminated,and the Battery Indicator Light is not flashing red,then Roomb a is paused in a MAX Cleaning Cycle.

Beyond these two instances,the Roomba Remote will operate the same way it does with Roomba Pro Elite.

The Wall Mount Unit (Roomba Pro Elite only)

The Wall Mount Unit included with Roomba Pro Elite gives you a convenient,compact storage solution for Roomba.The Wall M ount Unit easily mounts to a variety of wall surfaces,and is designed to provide easy access to empty the Part icl e Bin and ch arg e Room ba w h ile stored.All the hardware needed to mount the unit are included with Roomba Pro Elite.The Wall M ount Unit fits all Roomba and Roomba Pro models,and is available as an accessory.Visit www.RoombaVac.com for online purchase opt ions,and for more purchase i n f ormation .

Cleaning the Mai n Br u s he s

It i s im port ant tha t you re gularly remove and clean the Main C le a n i n g Br u s he s of your Roomba.Debris can accumulate around the Brushes and the Brush ends,or axles,causing a decrease in cleaning ability and potentially damaging the unit.If the Main Brushes are not cleaned regularly your Roomba may seriously malfunction.

In most households it’s a good idea to clean the Main Cleaning Brushes after every ten floor cleanings. In houses with pets or long hair,clean the Brushes after every five floor cleanings.The Main Cleaning Brush axles cannot be checked without removing the Brushes f rom Ro omb a . It is a si mp le pro ce ss t h at you w ill mast er quickly with a little practice.

1. IfRoomba’s power is on, tur n it off.Empty the Par tic l e Bin an d place Roomba upside down (cleaning surface up) on a flat, padded surface such as a towe l , with the Front Bumper facing away f ro m yo u .

2. Unlatch the Wire Guards that cover the Main Cleaning Brushes from the two Release Tabs (Figure 22):Push down on the Wire Guards to flatten and elongate them,and pull the front edge of the Wire Guard (the edge nearest you) toward you to sw i n g it u p and over both Release Tabs to expose Brushes.(see Figure 23a-b).

3. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,completely loosen the screw in the Brush Coupler,the component that holds the Brushes in place on the right side of the unit(Figure 23 c) .Note that th e s crew will not come all the way out of the Brush Coupler so you cannot lose it. Pull up the Brush Coupler (see inset in Figure 23d.) The Main Cleaning Brushes will come up with the Brush Coupler.

4. Pull the Brush Coupler of f the en d of t h e Brushes , then pull the Brushes to the r ight and up,out of Roomb a (Figure 23d).

5. Clean any hair or other debr is off the Brushes.

6. Completely clean any debris from around the Brush Axles (Figure 2

My Roomba Gets Stuck.

Your Roomba may occasionally get stuck,especially in rooms that it has not cleaned before.If it does get stuck,Roomba will try to free itselfby turning in different directions. If it cannot free itself,Roomba will pause its cleaning cycle,flash its Room S i z e Butt on s a n d be e p periodical ly for five minutes to let you know it’s stuck,before shutting off to conserve power. Your Roomba might get stuck for several reasons:

1. It is wedged or pinned between or under narrowly spaced objects.

2. A cord, str ing,long rug fringe or carpet tassel is wound around its Brushes or Wheels.

3. One ofthe Wheels is no longer in contact with the ground.

4. Roomba bumps into objects and repositions them in such a way that an exit path no longer exists.

Move or b l ock a ny objec t th at Roomba gets stuck on or under.See the illustration entitled “Roomba Care Hints”on the back cover of the Quick Start Guide to help identify and easily fix these problem areas.Once the problem areas have been fixed,press the flashing Cleaning Cycle Button to continue Roomba’s clean ing cycle.If you wish to beg in a new clean ing cycle,press Roomba’s Power Button to turn it off,then turn it on again. Make sure the Particle Bin is empty and select the desired Cleaning Cycle Button to start a new cleaning cycle

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why doesn’t my Roomba clean my floor in straight lines? A: Roomba uses an algor ithm-based cleaning pattern to clean your home most efficiently.For all clean ing cycles except

Spot Cle an i ng,when Room b a s t arts cleani ng it t ravels around the floor in a spiral pattern (see Figure 1 on page 4).Its Non- M a rr i ng Bumper will c o ntact a wall,or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for a while.Roomba follows the wall for a sh or t p e r i o d of t i m e ,u si ng it s spinning,Edge-Cleaning Side Brush to move part icles away from the wa ll and into the Vacuum’s path.After cleaning along a por t ion of the wall or other object,Roomba criss-crosses the room in straight lines.Roomba repeats this cleaning pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed.This sophisticated navigation ensures that Roomba will clean your whol e ro om a s t horoughly as possible.

Roomba Battery will not charge.

1. Ensure that the Charger AC Adapter is plugged into a working outlet.Tr y several outlets to be sure.

2. Make sure that the Charger AC Adapter is fully plugged into Roomba.No metal should be visible once the plug is fully inserted.See

Charging the Battery on page 7.

3. Check that the Batter y is properly inserted.To be sure,remove it,inspect the contacts on the Batter y and in Roomba to make sure they are not blocked by dirt,then reinsert the Battery.It should click into place on each side.

4. The Battery Indicator Light on Roomba (under the Battery Icon) should pulse yellow.If it does not glow at all,check all the connections.The Battery Indicator Light will turn off when the Battery is fully charged.

My Roomba moves too close to or far from my walls.

1. Ifthe Edge-Cleaning Side Brush does not clean close enough to the wall,use a pen to push the Adjustment

Q: When I turn on Roomba,t he Battery Indicator Light is green,but quickly turns to red.Why is that? A: Even when they are nearly completely drained,most batteries tend to recover their charge a small amount after they

are rested.In this cas e, Roomba’s Battery needs to be recharged.
