Getting Started
Get to Know bObi
Who is bObi?
bObi is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner, at your service! She can vacuum, sweep, and
mop all the same time — and at the end of her cleaning session, she automatically returns to her
charging station for a power nap. Set bObi to clean on a schedule and she’ll clean on her own
even when you’re not around.
How does bObi nd her way around?
bObi doesn’t store any data about your home; instead, she uses a network of reactionary sensors
to detect obstacles. To maximize her coverage, she may spiral outward, zigzag across a small
area, or follow along walls. If she seems to be ignoring some spaces or spending too much time
on others, don’t worry! bObi will efciently clean your home over the course of a full cycle — just
check her dustbin for the evidence!
Should I pick up bObi?
You may pick up bObi while she’s cleaning, but it’s best to let her work in her own way. Moving
her around, manipulating her movements, or picking her up may confuse her and disrupt her
cycle.
FullCommand™ Remote
If you wish to control bObi’s movements manually, you may use the
navigational buttons on her remote.
blOck™
You can keep bObi away from obstacles that she nds difcult to
navigate, such as areas with cords or high ledges, by using blOck*.
Charging Station
bObi automatically returns to her charging station when low on battery. If
bObi is having trouble nding her station, try re-syncing it and relocating
it to a more easily accessible location with more space around it.
Mop Attachment
bObi may have a tough time climbing over elevated surfaces while
mopping. Remove bObi’s mop when she is not cleaning smooth
surfaces. Do not let her climb onto carpet or rugs when mopping.

Get to Know bObi
Navigating Difcult Obstacles
Unique Furniture
bObi is designed to maneuver
around furniture of most
shapes and sizes, but she
may nd it difcult to clean
under chairs with narrow legs
or around furniture that is too
low for her sensors to detect.
Specialty furniture, such as
desk chairs with wheels or
stools with circular bases,
may also confuse her — but
don’t worry, bObi usually
nds her way around with
time.
Dark-Colored
Carpet
If bObi repeatedly backs up
or displays an error message
while cleaning dark carpet,
then you’ll need to deactivate
the edge sensors. To do so,
simply use bObi’s blindfold
stickers to cover her edge
sensors. Just remember that
while bObi’s edge sensors
are deactivated, she will not
be able to detect edges or
stairs!
Shag Carpet
bObi’s main and side brushes
are not designed to clean shag
carpet or rugs with long bers.
If you’d like bObi to clean shag
carpet or long-bered rugs,
you may remove her main and
side brushes and allow her to
vacuum without it.
Inclines
Sometimes bObi will attempt
to drive up angled surfaces,
get stuck for a few minutes,
and then decide to clean
somewhere else. As long
as bObi does not stop and
display an error message on
her remote’s screen, let her
continue cleaning and nd
her own way around. Take
note of the areas bObi nds
the most challenging and, if
possible, adjust your furniture
accordingly.
Easy Fix
Use blOck*, bObi’s add-on
accessory, to keep bObi
away from areas she finds
particularly challenging.
blOck emits a digital
barriers that bObi won’t
cross.

FAQs
My bObi won’t turn on no
matter what I do.
First, make sure bObi’s power switch is turned
ON. The power switch is located on bObi’s
side. If bObi’s power switch is turned ON and
she is not responding to her cover buttons,
then her battery has likely drained too low for
him to operate. Place bObi on her charging
station and allow her to fully charge.
Why is bObi beeping?
bObi beeps periodically while in standby
mode. You may mute her beeping by ipping
her power siwtch OFF or by placing her on
the charging station.
bObi also beeps when she encounters a
problem and needs assistance. In addition to
beeping, she will display an error message
on her remote. Consult the Troubleshooting
section of this manual for solutions.
How do I know that bObi is
fully charged and ready to
clean?
When bObi is charging, the center light on her
cover ashes. When she is fully charged, the
light remains still.
bObi just stopped cleaning
and her screen turned off.
What do I do next?
bObi may be in standby mode. If this is the
case, pressing any button on her cover or
FullCommand™ remote should wake her.
If this does not work, her battery is likely
completely drained. Place bObi on her
charging station and allow her to fully charge.
How often should I empty the
dustbin?
Depending on the size of the room and the
amount of debris piled up, bObi may be able
to perform up to 6 cleaning cycles before
lling her dustbin. Simply remove the dustbin
and check to see if emptying is necessary.
bObi is having trouble nding
her charging station.
First, sync the charging station. Start by
ipping bObi’s power switch OFF. Then,
press down the SYNC button on the back
of the station using the syncing tool and ip
bObi’s power switch ON. bObi will chirp twice
to conrm the sync was successful. If after
syncing the station bObi is still having trouble
nding it, relocate the station to a more easily
accessible location with more space around
it. Make sure the station is against a wall on a
at, level surface.
I am having problems
removing bObi’s brushes.
Open the brush compartment and gently
wriggle them while pulling up. Do not force the
brushes out, as this can damage them. You
may use scissors to cut away entanglements
of hair, or tweezers to unclog the notches
inside bObi. It is best to clean bObi’s brushes
about once a week to prevent buildup.
How often should I clean
bObi’s brushes?
To maximize bObi’s efciency, it is best
to clean her brushes about once a week.
Remember to also clean the notches inside
bObi that hold the brushes in place.

FAQs
What is bObi’s runtime? How
long should bObi’s battery
last?
The exact runtime depends on the age of
the battery and the type of surface bObis is
cleaning; the younger the battery and the
smoother the cleaning surface, the longer
the runtime. The normal runtime range for
bObi is 45 – 75 minutes.
bObi’s battery comes with a 2-year warranty
and should last for several years. To
conserve bObi’s battery, do not leave her on
her charging station for more than 5 days. If
you are not using bObi regularly, remove her
from her station and ip her power switch
OFF.
What is the best way to clean
bObi’s wheels?
Use compressed air to clear the wheels of
debris, or wipe the wheels as they spin during
the checkup test. For a more thorough clean, you
may remove the wheels completely. See bObi’s
wheel repair guide on www.bobsweep.com/
bobi-classic-support for detailed instructions.
* Available to purchase separately.
bObi gets stuck under my
furniture or travels over wires
that tangle up her brush. How
can I stop her from going into
certain areas?
If bObi maneuvers under a piece of furniture
and there is only one open entrance, he may
need a few minutes to nd her way out. If
bObi does need help, she’ll stop cleaning
completely, beep, and display a trouble
message.
If you would like bObi to avoid a certain area,
such as an area with lots of wires, you may
use blOck* to create a digital barrier.
bObi is showing Er on her
remote. How can I x this?
bObi’s error messages identify the specic
parts on bObi that need help. Consult the
Troubleshooting section of this manual for
solutions.
Why does bObi start up when
I did not tell him to clean?
bObi is either scheduled to clean or is on
auto-resume mode.
First, make sure the current time and day
is set correctly on bObi’s FullCommand™
remote. Remember, bObi works on a 24-hour
clock. If the current time and day is incorrect,
then bObi’s cleaning schedule will be out of
sync.
Consult the Scheduling section of this manual
for detailed instructions on how to reset bObi’s
cleaning schedule.
On auto-resume mode, bObi automatically
begins cleaning after every recharge. When
bObi is on auto-resume, she displays “FFGO”
on her remote. To disable auto-resume, press
the SCH TIME button on bObi’s remote. Then
press STOP. The remote will reset to the last
time saved.
Press SCH TIME again to save your settings.
I think my bObi is broken. What
do I do next?
Don’t worry, a customer service agent will
work with you personally to ensure you have
a healthy, fully functional bObi. To connect
with an agent, call 1-888-549-8847 or email
