SharkMat

(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 .

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.

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

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.
