4. Appliance should be serviced only by a qualified repair person using only identical
   replacement parts. DO NOT modify or attempt to repair Shark ION ROBOT™ or charging dock yourself, except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

5. Before disposing of the Shark ION ROBOT, the battery must be removed. To remove, unscrew the battery cover with a Phillips-head screwdriver, then detach the battery from the connector.

6. Used batteries must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. Note that in some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream.

BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHTS
The indicator lights display the amount of charge remaining in the battery. See page 10 for more details.

“!” ERROR INDICATOR
When a blockage or a filter problem occurs, the “!” error indicator light will illuminate. Clear any blockages and clean filters. Remove dust bin and make sure nothing is blocking suction. See page 21 for a full list of error codes.

WI-FI INDICATOR
Illuminates blue when unit is connected to Wi-Fi. If the icon illuminates red, the connection has been lost. When the icon is flashing blue, the robot is in setup mode. When the icon is off, the robot has not been set up to connect to the Internet.

CHARGING YOUR SHARK ION ROBOT™

IMPORTANT: Install the charging dock in a location that can be easily accessed by your Shark ION ROBOT.

Always keep the charging dock plugged in, or the Shark ION ROBOT will not be able to automatically return to the base.

The Shark ION ROBOT will beep when it is first connected to power or when it starts charging on the dock.

RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY
When your robot’s 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 batteries 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.

INSTALLING THE CHARGING DOCK
Set the charging dock on a hard, level surface, with its back against the wall. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet (1 meter) from either side of the base, or closer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the front of the base. Plug the charging cable into the port on the side of the dock, and connect the charger plug to a wall outlet.

IMPORTANT CHARGING INFORMATION
The Shark ION ROBOT has a pre-installed rechargeable battery. Battery must be fully charged before using. The Power switch must be in the ON position in order to charge the battery. When the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery is running low, Shark ION ROBOT will automatically return to the charging dock.

If your unit doesn’t return to the dock, the battery charge may have run out. See charging instructions on page 10.

Shark ION ROBOT™ can be charged three different ways:

1. Manually place Shark ION ROBOT on the charging dock, aligning its charging pads with the charging contacts on the base.
2. Using the app, press the DOCK button to automatically send Shark ION ROBOT to the charging dock.
3. To charge unit directly, plug the charger into a wall outlet, then connect the charger cable to the jack on the side of the Shark ION ROBOT.

BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHTS
While the battery is charging, all three blue LED lights will cycle until fully charged.

If the red “Replace” light is on, then the battery needs to be replaced. See page 20 for more information. If all the battery indicator lights are off, then either the power switch is turned off or there is no charge remaining. Turn the Power switch to the ON position. If all indicator lights remain off, then charge the unit directly, using the charger.

SETTING UP YOUR SHARK ION ROBOT™

NOTE: Some carpets may cause the robot to malfunction due to pile height.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning an entire room for the first time, we recommend that you first test your unit on a small section of the floor to ensure there is no scratching.

IMPORTANT: Shark ION ROBOT uses cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other steep drops. Sensors may work less effectively when they are dirty. For best results, clean sensors as needed.

TIP: Turn off the power switch if Shark ION ROBOT will not be used for a long period of time.

TIP: To preserve battery life, unit should be recharged at least once every three months.

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES

1. Turn the unit over.
2. Align hole in center of side brush over brush post on bottom of unit.
3. Press side brush down over the post until it snaps into place.

USING YOUR SHARK ION ROBOT™

DOWNLOADING THE SHARK APP
The app will guide you through easy setup of your Shark ION ROBOT, and allow you to schedule cleaning times and to control the unit remotely.

The app will also provide access to:

• Tips, Tricks, and FAQs
• Tech Support
• Troubleshooting

NOTE: Before cleaning, the robot’s power must be turned on. Press the top of the power switch on the side of the unit to turn on power.

TIP: Shark ION ROBOT will automatically return to the charging dock when the battery level is low.

BOTBOUNDARY™ STRIPS
You may need to keep Shark ION ROBOT away from certain
areas, such as pet bowls, fragile objects, power strips, or
doorways. Use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily
create “no-go zones” to keep Shark ION ROBOT out of the
areas you would like it to avoid.

1. Identify areas or objects you want Shark ION ROBOT to avoid. Cut the BotBoundary strip to the desired length so that it covers the entire perimeter of an object or spans the length of the doorway you want to block off. With the provided connecting joints, you can shape the strips to fit your needs. Insert the ends of the strips into the connecting joints to form angles and create customized boundaries. You can connect up to four BotBoundary strips at a time.
2. Place the strips on the floor or under an area rug to create perimeters around the objects and areas you’d like to block.
   NOTE: If blocking an object, place the BotBoundary strip two inches in front to ensure ION ROBOT will not bump into it.

CLEANING MODES

Manual Start/Stop
You can manually start and stop Shark ION ROBOT™.

1. To start cleaning, press the CLEAN button on Shark ION ROBOT or the CLEAN/ENTER button on the mobile app. Shark ION ROBOT selects different cleaning modes and automatically operates until cleaning is complete.
2. To stop the unit before it automatically finishes cleaning and returns to dock, press the CLEAN button on Shark ION ROBOT or the CLEAN/ENTER button on the mobile app.

Spot Cleaning
In Spot mode, Shark ION ROBOT will thoroughly clean an area in a spiral pattern. Use Spot mode to clean a concentrated area of dust or debris.

1. To start cleaning in Spot mode, press the SPOT button on Shark ION ROBOT or on the mobile app.

SENDING SHARK ION ROBOT TO CHARGING DOCK

To return the unit to the Charging Dock, press the DOCK button on the unit or on the mobile app.
