Home Base
™
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 Power and Docked lights will be green to indicate Roomba is charging.
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.
To manually dock Roomba, place it within five feet of the Home Base and
press Spot and Clean simultaneously. You can also drive Roomba toward the
Home Base with the remote control, and Roomba will dock automatically.
