(for use on carpet)

The Self-Empty Base charges your robot and holds dirt and debris from up to 15 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 from the front. Place the base with its back against the wall in an area with a good Wi-Fi signal. Set up the base on bare ﬂoor, or on the SharkMat. Plug in the Charging Cord, and turn on the power switch on the back of the base. 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 with the SharkMat. NOTE: Do not place base against heating elem ents or baseboards, or in direc t sunlight. NOTE: The robot will make a loud noise when it empties it s debris into the base. This is n ormal 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 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: Whe n picking up the robot be careful not to place ﬁngers between the bumper and the base of the robot .

PREP YOUR HOME MAPPING AND NAVIGATION

8-inch

Min.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

EDIT OPTIONS

Your robot uses an array of sensors to navigate around walls, furniture legs, and other obstacles while it cleans. To prevent the robot from bumping into objects or navigating to areas you don't want it to, use the included BotBoundary™ strips. For best results, prepare your home as indicated below, and schedule a daily cleaning to ensure all ﬂoor areas are regularly maintained.

NOTE: Scheduling is one of many features that are only available in the app.

OBSTRUCTIONS

Clear cords and small objects from ﬂoors and open interior doors to ensure a complete map of your home.

THRESHOLDS

Your robot may have trouble clearing some high thresholds. Block o high thresholds with the included BotBoundary strips.

STA IRS

Your robot's cli sensors will prevent it from falling o ledges. For the cli sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be at least 20 cm (8") from any stairs (or extend over the edge of the stairs.)

BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. You can cut BotBoundary strips to shorten them as needed. (18-inch minimum) If cutting a strip, make sure it’s still long enough to cover the entire area you need to block o. Gaps may cause BotBoundary strips to malfunction.

2. Make sure each BotBoundary strip lies completely ﬂat against the ﬂoor, with no overlapping. NOTE: DO NOT place BotBoundary strips on top of one another.

3. For best results, place the strips between ﬁxed objects like furniture legs or door frames, or make a closed loop around an obstacle.

WARNING: Do not put BotBoundary strips near any stairs or clis. WARNING: Do not place BotBoundary strips on top of one another.

(18” Minimum)

SCHEDULING

For a constant state of clean, set up a whole-home cleaning schedule in the app.

AVOID MOVING THE ROBOT OR BASE

While your robot is cleaning, do not pick it up and move it, or move the charging base—

Clean Dock

this will impact the robot’s ability to map your home.

CHECK BASE FILL LEVEL

During the ﬁrst few weeks, your robot will empty more often than usual. Check the ﬁll level regularly. The dust bin is designed to hold up to 15 days’ worth of debris, but home environments vary, and the bin may ﬁll up quicker in some homes.

PREPPING YOUR HOME USING BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS

Use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily create no-go zones to keep your robot out of the areas you would like it to avoid. These may include:

• Near power cords

• In front of high thresholds

BotBoundary strips

Dining Room

As it cleans, your robot will create a map of your home. It may take several cleanings for the robot to ﬁnish its mapping. Once mapping is complete, an Interactive Map of your ﬂoor plan will be available on the app.

Living Room

Kitchen

The interactive map in the app allows you to name rooms, then select which rooms to clean, and send the robot to immediately clean one speciﬁc location.

As cleanings continue, the robot will update and reﬁne its path to provide optimized cleaning coverage. After each use, a cleaning report will be available in the app.

MANUAL CLEANING MODE

To manually start a cleaning cycle, press the Clean button on the robot or on the mobile app. To stop the robot before it ﬁnishes cleaning and automatically returns to the base, press the Dock button.

NOTE: Be sure to charge the robot completely before its ﬁrst cle aning so that it can explore, map, and clean as much of your home as possible. It may take up to 6 hours to fully charge the robot.

NOTE: Avoid picking up and moving the robot or base. If either are relocated, the robot may not be able to follow its intelligent cleaning path , or ﬁnd its way back to the base. If the robot is picke d up or moved for any reason, it sho uld be returned to within 6 inch es of its last location.
