electrical connections, electrical wiring,
and moving parts that potentially present
risk to the user.

GUIDE

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 WARNI NGS

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
air flow.

13. 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.

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)

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 E R Y 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 O NLY 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.

31. Non-rechargeable batteries cannot
be recharged.

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, 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 hard 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 h ard flo or or thi n carp et.
