Risk of injury!
• Never run the robot over any part of the body. Do not
vacuum close to children or pets; keep body parts away
from the spinning brush.
• Do not cover the infrared window of the charge base with
stickers or other objects that can block the window.
• Do not block the sensors on the robot. Otherwise it will no
longer be able to orientate itself or communicate with the
charge base.
Risk of pinching!
• Keep away from moving parts.
Note! Risk of damage from improper use!
• Use Neato Genuine Accessory parts only.
• Use the charge base exclusively with the alternating current
voltage stated on the type plate and on a connection that
has been properly installed by an expert.
• Do not use the robot if the charge base, the power cord or
the robot are faulty or damaged, or if the robot has not been
completely assembled.
• If the power cord or charge base is faulty, it must be
replaced with a Neato Genuine Accessory to avoid hazards.
• Never try to repair the robot by yourself.
• This robot is intended for indoor use only.
• This robot is intended for the cleaning of floors only.
• Make sure that children do not play with the robot.
• Keep children and pets away from the robot; do not let them
stand or sit on it.
• The robot can be used on most carpets with a fiber length
of up to 0.7in (20mm). It may move slower on carpet than
hard wood.
• Do not use 3rd party batteries with the robot. Only use
Genuine Neato Accessory batteries.
• Do not use the robot on top of worktops or glass-ceramic

or off ledges. This can cause serious damage to the device.
Please clean the drop sensors regularly
• If there are steps in the working area of the robot, the
enclosed boundary markers can be applied to the top stair.
The minimum distance to the edge of the step should be
approximately 0.75in (2cm) on hardwood or thin carpet. On
thick carpet the minimum distance to the edge of the step
should be approximately 6in (15cm). This is an extra safety
measure to prevent the robot from falling off a ledge or
stairs.
• Do not vacuum up any cleaning powders with the robot.
• Very fine sand, limestone, cement dust or similar particulates
will block the pores of the filter and reduce performance.
• Never use the robot without the filter. This will damage the
motor and shorten the life of the robot.
• To charge the robot, only use the power cord and charge
base included in the box.

Laser Distance Sensor (LDS)
The laser distance sensor contains a rotating class 1 laser
according to DIN EN 60825-1. In general, the following codes
of practice apply for lasers:
HOW BOTVAC WORKS
1
• Switch the robot off before refit or repair.
• Do not direct the laser beam at people.
• Do not look into the direct or reflected beam of the laser.
• It is not permitted to carry out manipulations (alterations)
or attempt repairs on the device and especially on the LDS.
Electromagnetic fields
• The robot meets all standards regarding electromagnetic
fields (EMF).
• According to current scientific findings, the robot is safe to
use provided that it is handled correctly and in accordance
with the instructions in the user manual.
• The device complies with the safety requirements of
the country in which it was sold by a Neato Authorized
Distributor.
• By using the device in another country, compliance with
local safety standards cannot be guaranteed. Neato
therefore rejects any resulting safety risks for the user.
Your Neato Botvac uses sophisticated mapping software to create
a map of your home and plan its cleaning.
The foundation of Neato’s robotic technology is its patented
Neato Botvision™ – a breakthrough in robotic mapping and
navigation. Botvision uses a proprietary laser scanner and
proprietary navigation software based on SLAM (Simultaneous
Localization and Mapping) – the same technology used by the
Google self-driving car. This is a milestone achievement – Neato
has brought a laser scanning technology that typically costs
thousands of dollars to a consumer product at an affordable price.
Smart mapping – Neato’s patented laser distance system
continually scans the room, making instant decisions based on
input from its external sensors. This enables Botvac to create
detailed and accurate maps of its environment and methodically
clean in an organized back and forth pattern, leaving the straight
carpet vacuum lines.
OTHER ROBOTS NEATO ROBOTS
Instead of bumping around like other robot vacuums,
Neato Botvac uses patented Neato Botvision to scan
and map the room, plan, and methodically clean.

Tip! Give It Power
Charge it when you aren’t using it to ensure it is ready to clean
and to maintain the batteries.
Tip! Set Cleaning Boundaries
Your Botvac will clean everywhere it can reach. If you want to
keep it from a certain area, just put down boundary markers. It
will clean up to the boundary markers but will not cross over
them. See section on Boundary Markers for more information.
Tip! Keep It Well-Maintained
Because it’s down in the dirt all day long, your Botvac can
get a little grungy. See section on Maintenance for more
information.
IMPORTANT! Risk of damage from improper use
Remove light, fragile or movable objects from the floor.
Remove shag carpets from the area that you would like to clean.
IMPORTANT! Keep It Away From Water, Chemicals,
or Other Mold Producing Fluids
Do not clean wet messes
with your Botvac.
Do not bathe or otherwise
submerge your Botvac in water.
Do not use harsh chemicals on your Botvac, or anything that
can permanently stain it.
IMPORTANT! Keep Botvac Away From Hanging Cables and
Low To The Ground Tablecloths and Curtains
To keep your Botvac and your home safe, make sure that it
cannot get caught on tablecloths, curtains, hanging electric
cords, or other cord-like items.
IMPORTANT! Don’t Let It Get Cold
Exposing your Botvac to freezing temperatures may cause
permanent damage.
IMPORTANT! Don’t Use or Store It Outside
Your Botvac is an indoor device and is not intended for
outdoor use. Use and store it in the house.
