Home Base®

 

EN

Use the Home Base® to charge the battery overnight before the fi rst use.

At the end of a cleaning cycle or when Roomba’s battery is running low, it returns to the Home Base to charge. Roomba needs to fi nd the infrared signal of the Home Base in order to return.

Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When the Home Base is fi rst plugged in, its power light turns on momentarily to indicate the Home Base is connected to the power source.

If Roomba returns to the Home Base and is unable to dock, it will try again until it docks successfully.

When Roomba makes a connection and docks successfully, the Home Base power light momentarily turns solid green. Within a minute of docking, Roomba goes to sleep, turning off all lights, while continuing to charge the battery.

Home Base Location

Position the Home Base on a hard, level surface against a wall. Make sure it’s at least four feet (1.2 meters) from any stairs and that Roomba has a clear path to reach it.

Do not place the Home Base within four feet (1.2 meters) of a stairwell.
