Positioning the Home Base
Place the Home Bose in an open, uncluttered area leaving the following distances around the Home Bose:

At least 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) on each side of the Home Bose
At least 4 feet ( 1 meter) in front of the Home Bose, and at least 4 feet (1 meter) away from stairs
At least 8 feet (2.5 meters) from Virtual Woll Barriers Always keep the Home Bose plugged in and make sure it is in an area with consistent Wi-Fi” coverage to allow Roomba to receive information via the iRobot HOME App.

Download the iRobot HOME App and connect to Wi-Fi:

Watch an overview video with instructions on how to set up and use your Roomba
Set an automatic cleaning schedule (up to 7 times per week)
Enable automatic Software updates
Access to tips, tricks, and answers to commonly asked questions

Use Instructions

Turn your robot over and remove the bin insert and battery pull tabs.
Then place Roomba on the Home Bose to activate the battery.
Roomba has a partial battery charge, so it’s ready to start cleaning. E:)
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 Bose 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 Bose for 3 hours.
Note· Remove excess clutter from floors before cleaning (e.g. clothing, toys, etc.).
Use Roomba frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors.
To begin a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN on the robot or in the iRobot HOME App.
Pre-set your robot to automatically vacuum up to seven times per week using the Scheduling feature in the iRobot HOME App.
When Roomba returns to the Home Bose 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 Roombo’s indicators turn off.
To send Roomba back to its Home Bose 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.
If Roomba encounters an area of high debris concentration, it will move in a spiral motion to clean the area more thoroughly. When Roomba does this, the CLEAN
the button will blink.
To use SPOT Cleaning, place Roomba on top of the localized debris and press (SPOT) on the robot. Roomba will intensely clean the area by spiraling outward about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter and then spiraling inward to where it started.
Note. After each use, empty the bin and clean the filter.
Always store Roomba on the Home Bose so it’s charged and ready to clean when you need it. If storing off of the Home Bose, remove the battery first and then store
Roomba and the battery in a cool, dry place.

Battery and Charging
Charge Roomba using the Home Bose. Indicator lights will turn off after 60 seconds to conserve energy while Roomba is charging. Check the status of the battery by pressing the CLEAN button to illuminate the Battery Indicator. The indicator will appear amber while the battery is charging and solid green when fully charged.

Accessories

The Dual Mode Virtual Wall Barrier (optional accessory for all models)
The Dual Mode Virtual Woll barrier keeps Roomba in the places you want to be cleaned – and out of the ones you don’t.
In between cleaning cycles, you can leave the device operating in its position on the floor. You can set your device to one of two modes to fit your home’s cleaning needs:

Note’. Under normal use, batteries will lose 8-10 months. If are not planning on using your Virtual Woll device for an extended period of time and you would like to store it, be sure to switch it to the “Off ” (middle) position.
Virtual Wall Mode: When the switch is in the “up” position ( ), the device functions as a Virtual Woll. This means that you can set it to block openings of up to 10 feet (3 meters). It creates an invisible, cone-shaped barrier that only Roomba can see.
Note: This barrier gets wider as it gets further from the device (refer to illustration).

Halo Mode: When the switch is in the “down” position ( ), the device creates a protective zone that Roomba will not enter. This prevents Roomba from bumping into items you want to protect (e.g. a dog bowl or vase) or crossing into undesired areas (e.g. a corner or under a desk). The Halo is invisible and reaches approximately 1 2 inches (30
centimeters) from the center of the device.
