Charging on the Home Base
At the end of a cleaning job or when the Roomba’s battery is running
low, it returns to the Home Base to recharge. When it has docked
successfully, the Home Base power indicator turns solid green and
the battery indicator ( ) begins pulsing to signal that it is charging:
• If the Roomba is returning to recharge after completing a cleaning
cycle, it will play a series of tones to indicate the successful
completion of the cleaning cycle. Within a minute of docking, the
Roomba enters standby mode with just the battery indicator ( )
illuminated to show charging status.
• If the Roomba is returning to recharge in the middle of a cleaning
cycle, it will not play a tone as it docks and its CLEAN button will
pulse with the battery indicator ( ). The iRobot HOME App will
also display the Roomba’s current status.
If you want, you can also send the Roomba to its Home Base
manually by pressing (Dock) on the Roomba or by pressing
CLEAN on the iRobot HOME App main screen and then ending
the job.
Battery Charging
Store the Roomba on the Home Base so it’s always charged and
ready to clean when you need it. For the best results, only use the
iRobot Lithium Ion Battery that comes with the Roomba. See page 26
for more details.
Reduced Power Standby Mode
The Roomba consumes a small amount of power every time it is
on the Home Base to ensure that it is ready for its next cleaning
job as well as to maintain Wi-Fi connectivity. It is possible to put
the Roomba in a further-reduced power state when not in use. For
instructions and more details on this Reduced Power Standby Mode,
refer to the iRobot HOME App.
Note:
•
If you pick up the Roomba and manually move it to another location, it
may have difficulty finding its Home Base. For the best results, allow the
Roomba to complete its cleaning cycle without interruption.
•
If the Roomba appears to have trouble docking, please refer to page
17 to ensure that the Home Base has been installed in an optimal
location.
•
The Roomba won’t leave the Home Base for a cleaning cycle if its bin
is full. In this case, remove and empty the bin, then reinsert it before
starting or resuming a cleaning cycle (see page 21 for instructions).
