Roomba Home Base - iRobot Roomba 570 Service Manual

Roomba Home Base

The Roomba Home Base is a self-charging station where the Roomba (through a sophisticated infrared
tracking mechanism) can drive back to at the end of a clean cycle or when its battery is low. After
docking itself, the Roomba will recharge its battery. The charging sequence takes about 3 hours in a
normal charge and 16 hours in a recovery mode.
The power light on the Home Base indicates that it is plugged in and operating properly. This light
must be on and solid green for Roomba to charge. The docked light on the Home Base indicates that
Roomba is successfully docked and charging.
