surfaces.
13. 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
air flow.
14. DO NOT use if robotic vacuum cleaner
airflow is restricted. If the air paths
become blocked, turn the vacuum
cleaner o and remove all obstructions
before turning on the unit again.
15. Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings
away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered
feet, or loose clothing.

mothproofing substances, or
flammable dust)
20. Turn o the robotic vacuum cleaner
before any adjustment, cleaning,
maintenance or troubleshooting.
21. Allow all filters to air-dry completely
before replacing in the robotic vacuum
cleaner to prevent liquid from being
drawn into electric parts.
22. 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.
BAT T E RY U S E
23. The battery is the power source for
the vacuum. Carefully read and follow
all charging instructions.
24. 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.
25. Use O N LY the Shark® charging docks
RVDOK850 or RVDOK85OWV and use
only battery RVBAT850. Use of batteries
or battery chargers other than those
indicated may create a risk of fire.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. DO NOT expose the robotic vacuum cleaner
or battery to fire or temperatures above
265°F (130°C) as it may cause explosion.
30. Non-rechargeable batteries cannot

PREPARING FOR USE
CHARGING THE SHARK IONTM ROBOT
INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES CHARGING
Snap the 2 included Side Brushes onto the square
posts on the bottom of the robot.
CHARGING DOCK SET-UP
IM P O RTAN T: The Shark Robot has a pre-installed rechargeable battery. Battery must be fully charged before using.
To charge, the Power button on the side of the robot
must be in the ON position (I).
When the cleaning cycle is complete, or if the batter y
is running low, the robot will search for the dock .
If your robot doesn’t return to the dock, its charge
may have run out.
3 ft.
3 ft.
5 ft.
Place the charging dock on a level sur face with its back against a wall, in a space without obstructions, that
can easily be accessed by your robot. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet ( 1 meter) from either
side of the dock, or closer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the front of the dock. Plug the Charging Adapter
into a wall outlet. The dock must be plugged in continually for the robot to find it. The dock indicator will
turn green when the dock is plugged in. The robot will beep when it starts charging on the dock.
If the robot has no charge and cannot return to the
charging dock, place it on the dock manually. If the
batter y was depleted, it may take up to 60 seconds
for the robot lights to come on after manually
placing on the dock.
NOTE: Whe n manu ally placing the robot o n the dock, make sure the Charging Contacts on the bottom of the robot are
aligned with the dock . To ensure the robot is d ocked co rrectly, refer to th e Charge Indicator Lights section.
