Home Base ®
(select models)
Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when
its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the
Home Base in order to return.
Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When Roomba is on the Home
Base, the lights on the Home Base will be solid to indicate Roomba is
connected to the Home Base.
Home Base Location
You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an
area where Roomba has a clear path to return to the dock at the end of a
cleaning cycle. If Roomba is unable to dock on its first attempt, it will try
again until it successfully docks.
The Roomba Remote, Virtual Wall and Home Base operate using an invisible
infrared beam. If they are all used in the same area, Roomba may see
multiple infrared signals and will not operate. The Remote WILL NOT dock
if you have a Virtual Wall near the Home Base. Fluorescent lights can also
impact Virtual Wall and Home base performance.
