GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHARK IQ ROBOT®

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHARK IQ ROBOT®

BASE SETUP

The Self-Empty Base charges your robot and holds dirt and debris from up to 45 days of cleaning.

• Select a permanent location for the base. Every time you move the base, your robot will have to completely re-map your house.
• Choose a level surface in a central area. Remove protective film from base.
• Place the base with its back against the wall, in an area with a good Wi-Fi signal.
• Set up the base on bare floor.
• Remove any objects closer than 3 feet from the sides of the base, or closer than 5 feet from the from the front.
• Plug in the Charging Cord, and turn on the Power Switch on the back of the base. When the base is plugged in and the power switch is turned on, the GREEN Power Indicator Light on the base will illuminate.
  NOTE: Do not place base against heating elements or baseboards, or in direct sunlight.
  NOTE: The robot will make a loud noise when it empties its debris into the base. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES
Snap the 2 included Side Brushes onto the square pegs on the bottom of the robot.

CHARGING

IMPORTANT: The Shark IQ Robot® has a pre-installed rechargeable battery. Charge the battery completely before using the robot. It may take up to 6 hours to fully charge.

To charge, place the robot with its BACK side against the base. The metal Charging Pads on the bottom of the robot must be touching the Charging Contacts on the base. Make sure the power switches on BOTH the robot and the base are turned to the (I) ON position.

When the cleaning cycle is complete, or if the battery is running low, the robot will search for the base. If your robot doesn’t return to the base, its charge may have run out. Make sure that all the protective film has been removed from the base, and recharge the robot

When charging begins, the robot will beep. The BLUE Charging Indicator Light on the base will PULSE, and the Battery Indicator Light on the robot will flash blue. When the robot is fully charged, the battery light on the robot and the blue charging indicator light on the base will illuminate steadily.
NOTE: When manually placing the robot on the base, make sure the charging contacts on the bottom of the robot are touching the ones on the base and the robot’s dust bin is touching the debris intake on the base. When the robot is fully charged, the battery light on the robot and the indicator light on the base will both turn solid blue.
NOTE: When picking up the robot be careful not to place fingers between the bumper and the base of the robot.

ROBOT BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT

The battery indicator light on the robot shows how much charge is remaining. When the robot is charging, the battery light will flash blue. When charging is complete, the light will illuminate steadily in blue.
NOTE: If the battery indicator light on the robot is blinking red, there is not enough charge for the robot to return to the base. Manually place the robot on the base.
BASE INDICATOR LIGHTS

There are 2 indicator lights on the front of the base, the green power indicator light and the blue charging indicator light. When the base is plugged in and the power switch is turned on, the GREEN power light wil illuminate. When the robot is charging on the base, the BLUE light will pulse. When charging is complete, the blue light will illuminate steadily.

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 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.) 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 45 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.
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 BotBoundary® strips

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 maycause BotBoundary strips to malfunction.
2. Make sure each BotBoundary strip lies completely flat against the floor, with no overlapping. NOTE: DO NOT place BotBoundarystrips 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.

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.

The interactive map in the app allows you to name rooms, then select which rooms to clean, and send the robot to immediately clean one specific location.
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.
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.

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
This product uses a battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery.
When your lithium-ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent battery to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery. For more information on battery removal for disposal, please visit sharkclean.com/batterysupport.
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on the lithium-ion battery indicates that the costs to recycle the battery at the end of its useful life have already been paid by SharkNinja. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRC, in cooperation with SharkNinja and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent lithium-ion battery to an authorized SharkNinja service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
