OWNER’S GUIDE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
If the charging cable plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage:
GENERAL WARNINGS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.Robotic vacuum cleaner consists of a robotic vacuum and charging base with power supply. These components contain electrical connections, electrical wiring, and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.
2.Before each use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. If a part is damaged,
discontinue use.
3.Use only identical replacement parts.
4.This robotic vacuum cleaner contains no serviceable parts.
5.Use only as described in this manual. DO NOT use the robotic vacuum cleaner for any purpose other than those described in this manual.
6.With the exception of filters, DO NOT expose any parts of the robotic vacuum cleaner to water or other liquids.
USE WARNINGS
7.This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
a)Children shall not play with the appliance.
b)Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
8.Always turn off the robotic vacuum cleaner before inserting or removing the filter or dust bin.
9.DO NOT handle plug, charging base, charging cable, or robotic vacuum cleaner with wet hands. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
10.DO NOT use without robot dust bin and filters in place.
11.DO NOT damage the charging cord:
a)DO NOT pull or carry charging base by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
b)DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
c)DO NOT close a door on the cord, pull the cord around sharp corners, or leave the cord near heated surfaces.
12.DO NOT put any objects into nozzle or accessory openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
13.DO NOT use if robotic vacuum cleaner airflow is restricted. If the air paths become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and remove all obstructions before turning on the unit again.
14.Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
15.DO NOT use if robotic vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
16.DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces.
17.DO NOT use to pick up:
a)Liquids
b)Large objects
c)Hard or sharp objects (glass, nails, screws, or coins)
d)Large quantities of dust (drywall dust, fireplace ash, or embers). DO NOT use as an attachment to power tools for
dust collection.
e)Smoking or burning objects (hot coals, cigarette butts, or matches)
f)Flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline,
or kerosene)
g)Toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner)
18.DO NOT use in the following areas:
a)Wet or damp surfaces
b)Outdoor areas
c)Spaces that are enclosed and may contain explosive or toxic fumes or vapors (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinners, mothproofing substances, or flammable dust)
d)Near fireplaces with unobstructed entrances.
e)In an area with a space heater.
19.Turn off 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 shutoff the unit needs to have a hard power reset to restart.
BATTERY 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 off 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.
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 cliff 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 off the stairs.

(for use on carpet) |
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 floor or thin carpet.
NOTE: Do not place base against heating elements or baseboards, or in direct sunlight.
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.

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: When manually placing the robot on the base, make sure the Charging Contacts on the bottom of the robot are touching the ones on the base and the robot's dust bin is touching the debris intake on the base. While the robot is charging, both blue LED lights will flash. When charging is complete, both blue lights will illuminate steadily.
NOTE: When picking up the robot be careful not to place fingers between the bumper and the base of the robot.
