Home Base; Wireless Command Center - iRobot Roomba Owner's Manual

Home Base

®
(optional accessory for models 520 and above)
Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when
its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the
Home Base in order to return.
Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When the Home Base is plugged
in, the power light will blink to indicate that the Home Base is connected
to the power source. When Roomba connects to the Home Base, the
power light will be solid to indicate that Roomba has successfully
connected to the Home Base. When Roomba is charging, Roomba's
"Clean" button will pulse amber as described in the "Battery Storage and
Charging" section of this manual. The "Clean" button will be a solid green
when Roomba is completely charged.
Home Base Location
You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an
area where Roomba has a clear path to return at the end of a cleaning
cycle. Locate the Home Base against a wall or other immovable object to
prevent it from sliding during docking. If Roomba is unable to dock on its
first attempt, it will try again until it docks successfully.
Chair
TIP: Do not place the Home Base within 4 feet of a stairwell.

Pairing Roomba with the Wireless Command Center
Wireless Command Centers are set up to control only one Roomba. To pair
a Wireless Command Center with a Roomba, you need four "AA" batteries
(not included).

2 Unplug the power supply or remove Roomba from its Home Base.
3 Install three "AA" batteries into the Command Center.

Continue holding the button for 3 seconds or until the days of the
5
week lights flash in a sequence from right to left (Saturday to Sunday).
Install the battery door and place the Command Center on top of

Roomba.
Press and hold the DAY and MINUTE buttons on the Command Center
7
for 2 seconds. The lights on the Command Center will flash to indicate
the pairing has completed, and Roomba will make a two-tone beep.

flash in sequence from left to right until Roomba is under control.
