Using Your Roomba

Use Instructions

• Turn your robot over and remove the bin insert and battery pull tabs. Then place

Roomba on the Home Base to activate the battery.

• Roomba has a partial battery charge, so it’s ready to start cleaning.

Note: Roomba ships with a partial battery charge. If you start a cleaning cycle before

charging the battery fully, Roomba may return to the Home Base to recharge sooner

than it will during future cleaning cycles. To fully charge the battery before the ﬁrst

cleaning cycle, allow Roomba to charge on the Home Base for 3 hours.

Note: Remove excess clutter from ﬂoors before cleaning (e.g. clothing, toys, etc.). Use

Roomba frequently to maintain well-conditioned ﬂoors.

• If its battery gets low before ﬁnishing a cleaning cycle, Roomba returns to the Home

Base to recharge. It will not play a tone when it docks and its CLEAN button will pulse

with the battery indicator ( ).

» After its battery has been recharged, Roomba automatically returns to where it left

o and completes the cleaning cycle.

» You can check the iRobot HOME App for a current status of your Roomba.

• If Roomba is returning to recharge after completing a cleaning cycle, it will play a

series of tones to indicate successful completion of the cleaning cycle.

• To pause Roomba during a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN.

• To resume the cleaning cycle, press CLEAN again.

• To end the cleaning cycle and put Roomba in standby mode, press and hold CLEAN

until Roomba’s indicators turn o.

• To send Roomba back to its Home Base during a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN and then

(DOCK) on Roomba or press CLEAN on the iRobot HOME App main screen. This will

end the cleaning cycle.

Positioning the Home Base

Place the Home Base in an open, uncluttered area leaving the following

distances around the Home Base:

• At least 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) on each side of the Home Base

• At least 4 feet (1.2 meters) in front of the Home Base, and at least 4

feet (1.2 meters) away from stairs

• At least 8 feet (2.4 meters) from Virtual Wall Barriers
