Neato XV™ Series User Guide 11

Likes and Dislikes

There are just a few things to remember that will keep your Neato Vacuum happy and
successful in your home:

Likes Dislikes

POWER. Charge it when you aren't using
it to ensure that every time you need it,
it will be ready to roll.

WATER, CHEMICALS, or OTHER MOLD
PRODUCING FLUIDS. Do not clean wet
messes with your Neato Vacuum. Though
it may seem pet-like, do not bathe or
otherwise submerge your Neato Vacuum
in water. It also doesn’t like harsh
chemicals, or anything that can
permanently stain it. It doesn’t mind
being cleaned and groomed with a damp
cloth, however.

Neato XV™ Series User Guide12

BOUNDARIES. Your Neato Vacuum likes
to clean everywhere it can reach. If you
want to keep the robot from a certain
area, just put out the boundary markers
(see page 41). The robot will clean up to
the boundary markers but will not cross
over the them.

HANGING CABLES AND LOW TO THE
GROUND TABLECLOTHS. To keep your
robot and your home safe, make sure
that your vacuum cannot get caught on
hanging electric cords, tablecloths, or
other cord-like items.

GROOMING. Because it's down in the dirt
all day long, your Neato Vacuum can get
a little grungy. After a while, give it a
once over to ensure wheels and brushes
are free of hair and debris and to keep it
running smoothly.

COLD. Exposing your Neato Robotics
vacuum to freezing temperatures may
cause permanent damage, and possibly
hurt its feelings.

OUTDOORS. Your Neato vacuum is a
domestic device and not intended for
outdoor use. Keep it in the house where
it will be happy.

before you can use it for the first time.

To use the charging base, follow these steps:
1 Plug the charging base into the wall and place it on the floor in a room that you want

to vacuum frequently and which provides the vacuum a clear path to return to
recharge itself.

2 When placing the charging base, ensure that:

•the back of the charging base is against a wall

•the charging base is least 3 feet from a corner of the room

•the charging base is not tilted

Using the Charging Base

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 17

NOTE:There are exit holes on either side of the charging base so that you can

have the cable exit the charging base on the side closest to the wall plug.
Refer to the illustration on page 9.

Recharging the battery takes about 2 to 3 hours. The status light lets you know the
current charging state of your Neato Vacuum:

Optimal Charging

For optimal performance, we recommend that you charge your Neato Vacuum on the
charging base whenever it is not cleaning. Not only will this make sure the vacuum will
be ready for upcoming cleaning tasks, but it also ensures longer battery life.

Status light color Meaning

Solid green Fully charged and ready to clean

Pulsing green Charging, but ready to clean

Pulsing amber Charging, can’t clean yet

to Communicating with Your Neato Vacuum on page 42)

Cleaning Mode

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 21

Cleaning Mode

Your Neato cleans using its powerful vacuum. Just press the START button and it will
vacuum your home, cleaning one room at a time. Neato creates a map of your home as
it goes from room to room. When it needs to recharge its batteries, it uses the map to
find it way back to where it started. Depending on where it started, it will:

START Connected to Charge Base: If Neato started at its charge base, it will
return to the charge base to recharge, and after charging, go out and continue
cleaning where it left off. If it still hasn’t finished cleaning, it will return to its
charge base once more, recharge, and return to finish cleaning where it left off.

START Not Connected to Charge Base: If Neato did not start at its charge base, it
will go back to the location where it started, stop, and say please recharge my
battery. When finished charging, place Neato within two feet of where it stopped
and press START. It will return to where it left off to finish the cleaning job. This
can be repeated one more time if it hasn’t finished the cleaning job.

During a cleaning cycle Neato will do a maximum of three cleaning runs. When Neato
finishes a cleaning cycle the map is erased.

Quick-Start Your Robotic Vacuum

Neato XV™ Series User Guide22

Quick-Start Your Robotic Vacuum

The Neato Vacuum works best when it performs regularly scheduled cleanings (see
Scheduling a Cleaning on page 30), but you can quick-start the vacuum for immediate
cleaning any time.

To start the Neato Vacuum:
1 Charge the vacuum (see Using the Charging Base on page 16). When the START

button light is solid green, the vacuum is fully charged.

2 Remove any loose items (such as small toy pieces) that might get caught in the

vacuum’s brushes.

3 Place your Neato Vacuum on the floor.
4 Press the START button. If the vacuum is asleep, that will wake it up! Then press the

button once more to clean your entire house.

Quick-Start Your Robotic Vacuum

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 23

5 The Neato Vacuum maps the room and cleans it automatically.

or to where you manually started it in the room and turns itself off.

Using the Control Center LCD screen

Neato XV™ Series User Guide24

Using the Control Center LCD screen

The Neato Vacuum’s LCD Control Center screen is your interface to communicate with
the vacuum. This is where you give the vacuum its cleaning schedule or pause its
cleaning cycle, and it’s also where the vacuum will give you information. For example,
it may tell you that it is returning to its base to recharge. In addition, if your vacuum
encounters a problem, it will tell you what is happening so you can correct the problem.

The Welcome screen looks like this:

To Get the Most of Scheduled Cleanings

Neato XV™ Series User Guide32

If you are not using the charging base, you will need to put the Neato Vacuum out and
it will start its scheduled cleaning when that is the actual time and day of the week.
When you return, you will need to manually place the vacuum on its charging base.

To Get the Most of Scheduled Cleanings

•The charging base needs to be located within the area that you want to clean on a
schedule.

•Make sure you empty the dirt bin (see Emptying the Dirt Bin on page 39) between
scheduled cleanings for best results.

•If there is not enough battery power to complete the cleaning cycle, your Neato
Vacuum returns to the charging base to recharge, and then will return to where it
left off to finish its cleaning.

Ideas for Scheduled Cleanings

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 33

Ideas for Scheduled Cleanings

Some ways you can take advantage of scheduled cleanings include:

•Clean a specific high-traffic area on a regular basis. For example, you could set up
a schedule to clean your kitchen and family room everyday at 10 a.m. Locating your
charging base in the kitchen, the Neato Vacuum comes off its charging base, cleans
the rooms, and returns to the charging base. Cleaning on an everyday basis helps to
minimize dust build up and can result in a reduction in allergy symptoms.

•You could also have your charging base in your bedroom corridor and schedule it to
clean every other day to keep your bedroom floors tidy. To keep the robot in that
area of the house, just put out the Boundary Markers and then it will go out and
clean as much as it can, return to charge, and then go back out to finish the cleaning
where it left off if the area is large.

Pausing a Cleaning

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 37

Pausing a Cleaning

If at any time you want to pause a cleaning, press any button on the Neato Vacuum and
the vacuum will offer you a PAUSE menu. From the PAUSE menu, press the down arrows
to make the vacuum:

•Pause its current cleaning

•Cancel its current cleaning

•Cancel and return to its charging base

•Resume its current cleaning

Use the up and down arrows and the SELECT button to tell your Neato Vacuum to do any
of the above items.

Putting your Vacuum to Sleep

Press and hold the START button for 2 seconds and your Neato Vacuum’s LCD screen
light will go off. When the vacuum is turned on the next time, the lights will turn on
again.

Turning off Your Vacuum

Neato XV™ Series User Guide38

Turning off Your Vacuum

If you would like to turn off your vacuum for long term storage or if you are going away
for vacation, you can turn off all power to your Neato Vacuum. Note that this will delete
your clock settings.

To turn off your vacuum:

1 Select MENU from the LCD screen.
2 Select SUPPORT.
3 Select Shut Down.

To power your vacuum once you have done this, just press the START button and it will
be fully powered again.

NOTE:Your Neato Vacuum cannot be on its charging base when you turn off all

power to it.

NOTE:The robot will turn itself off automatically if the battery is extremely low.

If your clock has been reset and the schedule is no longer available, it is
because the battery became fully discharged. This is why we recommend
that you keep the robot charging at all times when not in use for cleaning.

Emptying the Dirt Bin

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 39

Emptying the Dirt Bin

For optimal performance, empty the Neato Vacuum’s dirt bin after every use.

1

Remove the dirt bin.

2

Remove the filter.

Emptying the Dirt Bin

Neato XV™ Series User Guide40

3

Empty the contents of the
dirt bin into a garbage can.
Tap the filter against the
garbage can to get rid of
any excess dirt.

4

Replace the filter cover, then replace the dirt bin into
the top of the Neato Vacuum.

Boundary Markers

Neato XV™ Series User Guide 41

Boundary Markers

Boundary Markers are useful tools that tell your Neato Vacuum where not to clean.
Boundary markers are most helpful when you want to:

• Create a boundary where one does not exist. You
might have a large open plan house where you
want to clean a subset of a large room like the
shaded area shown here.

• Keep your Neato Vacuum away from any item
that you don’t want the vacuum to get near.

Using boundary markers

To use the markers, simply lay the boundary marker flat on the floor from one wall to
the opposite wall to block off an area. The Neato Vacuum will clean the floor on the
side of the boundary marker that it is started on. Place the vacuum within the bounded
area and press START. The vacuum recognizes the boundary markers and will not cross
them. You can use scissors to cut a shorter length of the boundary markers if needed.

When finished, the vacuum returns to its charging base or to where i t s tarted if it cannot
find its base. (In this case, you need to start charging the vacuum as soon as you can.)

32

如果您未使用充电基座，您需要手动启动 Neato 机器人吸尘器。它将根据实际的时间和星
期几开始定时预约清扫。您回来后，需要手动将机器人吸尘器放回充电基座。

要充分利用定时预约清扫

• 需要将充电基座放在您想要进行定时预约清扫的区域内。

• 确保在定时预约之间清空尘盒 （参阅第 39 页的

清空尘盒

）以获得最佳结果。

• 如果电池电量不足以完成清扫周期， Neato 机器人吸尘器将自动返回充电基座充电，
然后回到暂停处继续完成清扫。

定时预约清扫的想法

Neato XV™

系列用户指南

33

定时预约清扫的想法

一些帮助您利用定时预约清扫的方式：

• 定期清扫经常走动的特定区域。例如，您可以设置一个定时预约在每天上午 10 点清
扫您的厨房或客厅。将充电基座放在厨房内，Neato 机器人吸尘器会自动离开充电基
座，清扫单房间，然后返回充电基座。每天定时清扫有助于降低灰尘堆积，减少过敏

症状。

• 您还可以将充电基座放在卧室走廊上，定时预约每隔一天清扫一次卧室地板。要使机
器人保持在多房间的该区域内，只需放置边界标记即可，然后机器人便可以出去进行
尽可能多的清扫，如果清扫区域较大，在电池电量快耗尽时，它将返回充电基座充
电，然后回到暂停处继续清扫。

边界标记

Neato XV™

系列用户指南

41

边界标记

边界标记是告诉 Neato 机器人吸尘器什么地方不用清扫的有用工具。

当您想做如下事情时，边界标记是非常有用的：

• 在不存在边界的地方创造一个边界。您可能拥有
一个大的开放式规划多房间，想要清扫一个大单
房间中的一部分区域，如此处显示的阴影部分。

• 让 Neato 机器人吸尘器远离您不想让其接近的任
何物件。

使用边界标记

要使用边界标记，只需将它紧贴地板从一面墙拉到对面墙，即可封锁一个区域。 Neato 机
器人吸尘器将会在其启动的边界标记的一侧清扫地板。将机器人吸尘器放在边界标记限定

的区域内，然后按 “开始”。机器人吸尘器将识别边界标记，且不会越过边界标记。您可
按照需要使用剪刀将边界标记剪成更短的长度。

完成清扫后，机器人吸尘器将返回充电基座，如果未找到充电基座，将返回到起始位置。

（在这种情况下，您需要尽快给机器人吸尘器充电。）
