19. Turn o the robotic vacuum cleaner before

any adjustment, cleaning, maintenance or troubleshooting.

20. Allow all ﬁlters to air-dry completely

before replacing in the robotic vacuum cleaner to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.

21. DO NOT modify or attempt to repair the

robotic vacuum cleaner or the battery yourself, except as indicated in this manual. DO NOT use the vacuum if it has been modiﬁed or damaged.

22. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

23. In case the self-empty base has a thermal

shuto the unit needs to have a hard power reset to restart.

BAT T ERY USE

24. The battery is the power source for

the vacuum. Carefully read and follow all charging instructions.

25. To prevent unintentional starting, ensure

the vacuum is powered o before picking up or carrying the vacuum. DO NOT carry the appliance with your ﬁnger on the power switch.

26. Use ONLY the Shark® self-empty base

XSKAEDOCK and use only battery RVBAT850. Use of batteries or battery chargers other than those indicated may create a risk of ﬁre.

27. Keep the battery away from all metal

objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws. Shorting the battery terminals together increases the risk of ﬁre or burns.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

28. Under abusive conditions, liquids may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid, as it may cause irritation or burns. If contact occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help.

29. Robotic vacuum cleaner should not be stored, charged, or used at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or above 104°F (40°C). Ensure the battery and vacuum have reached room temperature before charging or use. Exposing the robot or battery to temperatures outside of this range may damage the battery and increase the risk of ﬁre.

30. DO NOT expose the robotic vacuum cleaner or battery to ﬁre or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) as it may cause explosion.

BOTBOUNDARY® STRIPS

31. DO NOT put BotBoundary strips

underneath carpet or rugs.

32. DO NOT place BotBoundary strips on top of one another.

33. Always use BotBoundary strips around reﬂective ﬂooring and surfaces.

34. BotBoundary strips should always be used near carpeted stairs.

35. DO NOT place BotBoundary strips within 10 feet of the dock.

36. For your robot’s cli sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be eight inches from any stairs (or it must be continuous and extend over the edge of the stairs). If a runner, rug or carpet edge that is less than eight inches from the stairs cannot be moved, you must use a BotBoundary strip to block o the stairs.

The Self-Empty Base charges your robot and holds dirt and debris from up to 30 days of cleaning. Select a permanent location for the base, because every time you relocate it, your robot will have to completely re-map your house.

Choose a level surface in a central area. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet from either side of the base, or closer than 5 feet from the front of the base. Plug in the Charging Cord, and turn on power switch on the back of the base, then place the base with its back against the wall, in an area with a good Wi-Fi signal. For best results, set up base on bare ﬂoor, or on the SharkMat. The base must be plugged in continuously for the robot to ﬁnd it. The Indicator Light will illuminate green when the base has power.

NOTE: For best results, set up on bare ﬂ oor or thin carpet.

NOTE: Do no t place ba se against heating elements or baseboards, or in direct sunli ght.

NOTE: The robot makes a loud noise when it empties its debris into the base. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES

Snap the 2 included Side Brushes onto the square pegs on the bottom of the robot.

To charge, the Power button on the side of the robot must be in the ON position (I). The robot will beep when charging begins.

Clean Dock

When the cleaning cycle is complete, or if the battery is running low, the robot will search for the base. If your robot doesn’t return to the base, its charge may have run out.

If the robot has no charge and cannot return to the base, manually place it on the base. The base indicator light will ﬂash blue and the robot will beep when charging begins.

NOTE: Whe n manually placing the ro bot on the base, ma ke sure the Charging Contacts on the bottom of the robot a re touching the ones on the base and the rob ot's dust bin is tou ching th e debri s intake on the base . While the robot is charging, both blue LED lights will ﬂash . When charging is compl ete, both b lue lights will illumina te steadi ly.

NOTE: Whe n picking up the robot be careful not to place ﬁngers between th e bumpe r and the b ase of the ro bot.
