Botboundary Strips - Shark IQ ROBOT AV970 Series Owner's Manual

PREP YOUR HOME
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 can only be done in the app.
OBSTRUCTIONS
Clear cords and small objects
from floors and open doors
to ensure a complete map of
your home.
THRESHOLDS
Your robot may have some
trouble clearing some high
thresholds. Block off high
thresholds with the included
BotBoundary® strips.
STAIRS
Your robot's cliff sensors will
prevent it from falling off
ledges. For your robot's cliff
4-inch
Min. sensors to work properly, all
runners, rugs,
or carpets must be at least
8 inches from any stairs
(or extend over the edge of
the stairs.)

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. You can cut BotBoundary
strips to shorten them as
needed. (18-inch minimum)
If cutting a strip, make sure
(18" Minimum)
it's still long enough to
cover the entire area you
need to block off. 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
BotBoundary strip
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.

SCHEDULING
For a constant state of clean,
set up a cleaning schedule in
the app.
AVOID MOVING THE
ROBOT & DOCK
While your robot is cleaning,
do not pick it up and move it
to different rooms, or move
the charging dock—this
could impact the robot's
navigation.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning an entire room for
the first time, we recommend that you first test your
robot on a small section of the floor to ensure there
is no scratching.

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 higher than 7/8 inch
BotBoundary strips
USING THE SHARK IQ ROBOT®
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 dock, press the Dock button.
NOTE: Be sure to charge the robot completely before its first cleaning 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 your robot.
NOTE: Avoid picking up or moving the robot or dock. If either are relocated, the robot may not be able to follow its
intelligent cleaning path, or find its way back to the dock. If the robot is picked up or moved for any reason, it should be
returned to within 6 inches of its last location.
