Battery and Charging
Scooba is powered by a rechargeable battery and should be fully charged
before each cleaning cycle. When fully charged (takes up to three hours),
Scooba’s battery will last for at least one full cleaning.
Install the battery
To install the battery, fi rst align the two
battery tabs with Scooba’s guide holes.
With the tabs inserted, push down on the
battery and listen for a click as the battery
clicks into place.
Charge the battery
Charge Scooba’s battery by plugging the
charger into wall and connecting
the charger to Scooba (lift charging jack
cover). Always make sure that the green
power light of the charger is ON while
plugged into the wall.
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, fi rst grip the
battery, making sure to push in the
release tabs. Then lift the battery up
and out of Scooba.
If the battery’s tabs are not inside the guide holes in the battery pocket,
the tank and robot base may not be properly connected.
TIP: For best battery performance, recharge the battery as soon as
possible and store your Scooba plugged in. For long-term storage,
remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place.

Scooba’s Virtual Wall
®
(included with select models)
The Scooba Virtual Wall creates an invisible barrier that
Scooba will not cross. Virtual Walls can be set to block
areas from 1 to 2.5 meters (1 to 8 feet).
The Virtual Wall beam is keyhole shaped. A small halo prevents Scooba from
bumping the Virtual Wall and a larger beam blocks off areas of your home
where you don’t want Scooba to go.
Virtual Walls require 2 “D” batteries. Virtual Walls will automatically shut
themselves off at the end of a cleaning cycle, or they can be manually shut
off by pressing their power button.
TIP: Use the Virtual Wall to block doorways or to keep Scooba away from cords.
TIP: For best performance, place the Virtual Wall on the outside of the
doorway you wish to block, and always set the Virtual Wall to the
shortest setting possible.
