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

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.
• To begin a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN on the robot or in the
iRobot HOME App.
• 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 off.
• To send Roomba back to its Home Base during a cleaning cycle,
press CLEAN and then
the iRobot HOME App main screen. This will end the cleaning cycle.
