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 is one of many features that are only available in the app.
OBSTRUCTIONS
Clear cords and small objects
from floors and open interior
doors to ensure a complete
map of your home.
THRESHOLDS
Your robot may have some
trouble clearing thresholds
higher than an inch. Block
off high thresholds with the
included BotBoundary strips.
STAIRS
Your robot's cliff sensors will
prevent it from falling off
ledges. For the cliff sensors
8-inch
Min.
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.)
BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS
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 thresholds higher than an inch
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. You can cut BotBoundary strips to shorten
them as needed. (18-inch minimum) If cutting
a strip, make sure 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 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.

AVOID MOVING THE
ROBOT OR BASE
While your robot is cleaning,
do not pick it up and move it,
or move the charging base—
this will impact the robot's
ability to map your home.
CHECK BASE FILL LEVEL
During the first few weeks,
your robot will empty more
debris than usual. Check the
fill level regularly. The dust
bin is designed to hold up
to 15 days' worth of debris,
but home environments
vary, and the bin may fill up
quicker in some homes.
LIGHTING CONDITIONS
For best results, run your
robot in well-lit conditions. If
you run your robot at night,
keep the lights on in the areas
to be cleaned.

MAPPING AND NAVIGATION
As it cleans, your robot will create a map of your
home. It may take several cleanings for the robot to
finish its mapping. Once mapping is complete, an
Interactive Map of your floor plan will be available
on the app.
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 base, 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 the robot.
NOTE: Avoid picking up and moving the robot or base. If either are relocated, the robot may not be able to follow its
intelligent cleaning path, or find its way back to the base. If the robot is picked up or moved for any reason, it should be
returned to within 6 inches of its last location.

The interactive map in the app allows you to name
rooms, then select which rooms to clean, and send
the robot to immediately clean specific locations.
As cleanings continue, the robot will update and
refine its path to provide optimized cleaning coverage.
After each use, a cleaning report will be available
in the app.
