CHARGING YOUR SHARK ION ROBOT™

IMPORTANT: Install the charging dock in a location that can be easily accessed by your Shark ION ROBOT.

Always keep the charging dock plugged in, or the Shark ION ROBOT will not be able to automatically return to the base.

The Shark ION ROBOT will beep when it is first connected to power or when it starts charging on the dock.

RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY
When your robot’s battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent batteries to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

INSTALLING THE CHARGING DOCK
Set the charging dock on a hard, level surface, with its back against the wall. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet (1 meter) from either side of the base, or closer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the front of the base. Plug the charging cable into the port on the side of the dock, and connect the charger plug to a wall outlet.

IMPORTANT CHARGING INFORMATION
The Shark ION ROBOT has a pre-installed rechargeable battery. Battery must be fully charged before using. The Power switch must be in the ON position in order to charge the battery. When the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery is running low, Shark ION ROBOT will automatically return to the charging dock.

If your unit doesn’t return to the dock, the battery charge may have run out. See charging instructions on page 10.

Shark ION ROBOT™ can be charged three different ways:

Manually place Shark ION ROBOT on the charging dock, aligning its charging pads with the charging contacts on the base.

If the red “Replace” light is on, then the battery needs to be replaced. See page 20 for more information. If all the battery indicator lights are off, then either the power switch is turned off or there is no charge remaining. Turn the Power switch to the ON position. If all indicator lights remain off, then charge the unit directly, using the charger.

SETTING UP YOUR SHARK ION ROBOT™

NOTE: Some carpets may cause the robot to malfunction due to pile height.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning an entire room for the first time, we recommend that you first test your unit on a small section of the floor to ensure there is no scratching.

IMPORTANT: Shark ION ROBOT uses cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other steep drops. Sensors may work less effectively when they are dirty. For best results, clean sensors as needed.

TIP: Turn off the power switch if Shark ION ROBOT will not be used for a long period of time.

TIP: To preserve battery life, unit should be recharged at least once every three months.

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES

TIP: Shark ION ROBOT will automatically return to the charging dock when the battery level is low.

BOTBOUNDARY™ STRIPS
You may need to keep Shark ION ROBOT away from certain
areas, such as pet bowls, fragile objects, power strips, or
doorways. Use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily
create “no-go zones” to keep Shark ION ROBOT out of the
areas you would like it to avoid.

Identify areas or objects you want Shark ION ROBOT to avoid. Cut the BotBoundary strip to the desired length so that it covers the entire perimeter of an object or spans the length of the doorway you want to block off. With the provided connecting joints, you can shape the strips to fit your needs. Insert the ends of the strips into the connecting joints to form angles and create customized boundaries. You can connect up to four BotBoundary strips at a time.
Place the strips on the floor or under an area rug to create perimeters around the objects and areas you’d like to block.
NOTE: If blocking an object, place the BotBoundary strip two inches in front to ensure ION ROBOT will not bump into it.
