Charging

• Light Ring Spiral While Charging
• White Spiral: charging
• Red Spiral: charging, low battery
• A solid white light will indicate the battery charge percentage of your robot

Place the robot on the charging station to activate the battery.
Note: Your robot comes with a partial charge, but we recommend that you charge the robot for 3 hours prior to starting the first cleaning job. When your robot is fully charged, the light ring indicator will intermittently pulse white at the rear.

The robot uses a small amount of power whenever it is on the charging station. You can put the robot in a further-reduced power state when not in use. To put your robot into reduced power standby mode, remove the dust bin and tap the clean button 5 times. To exit reduced power standby mode, place your robot on the charging station and tap the clean button. For more details on this Reduced Power Standby  Mode, refer to the FAQ page on our website. For long- term storage, turn off the robot by removing it from the charging station and holding down the clean button for 3 seconds with one wheel off the ground. Store the robot in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning

• To end a job and send the robot back to its charging station, hold the clean button down for 2-5 seconds. A blue light ring pattern will indicate that the robot is seeking the charging station.
• When your robot detects an especially dirty area, it will engage Dirt Detect™ mode, moving in a forward/backward motion to clean the area more thoroughly. The light ring indicator will flash blue.
• When the robot senses its bin needs to be emptied, the light ring indicator will illuminate in a red sweeping motion toward the rear.

Troubleshooting

• Your robot will tell you something is wrong by playing an audio alert and turning the light ring indicator red. Press the clean button or tap the bumper for details.
• Check the iRobot Home App for further support
• After 90 minutes of inactivity off the charging station, the robot will automatically end its cleaning job.
• To factory reset your robot, remove the dust bin and hold the clean button down for seven (7) seconds.
• A sound will let you know when the factory reset has been completed. Press the clean button down once more to confirm.
