ABOUT THE SHARK ION™ ROBOT

With Auto-Sense™ Navigation, your robot uses an array of sensors to navigate around walls, furniture legs, and other obstacles while it cleans, The robot may gently bump into obstructions or linger in one spot, and it may not cover every area in a single cleaning. For best results, prepare your home as indicated below, and schedule a daily cleaning to ensure all floor areas are regularly maintained.

Before cleaning, clear away cords and other obstructions or block off the areas you don't want your robot to travel to.

To prevent your robot from becoming trapped, use furniture risers.

If your robot roams too far, it could have trouble finding the Charging Dock.

For your robot's cliff sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be at least 4 inches from any stairs (or extend over the edge of the stairs),

If a runner, rug, or carpet edge is less than 4 inches from the stairs and can't be moved, use a BotBoundary® strip to block off the stairs.

PREPARING FOR USE

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES

Snap the 2 included Side Brushes onto the square pegs on the bottom of the robot.

CHARGING DOCK SET-UP

Place the charging dock on a level surface with its back against a wail, in a space without obstructions, that can easily be accessed by your robot. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet (1 meter) from either side of the dock, or closer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the front of the dock. Plug the Charging Adapter into a wall outlet. The dock must be plugged in continually for the robot to find it. The robot will beep when it starts charging on the dock.

NOTE: Placing the dock near reflective objects like mirrors could make docking difficult.

CHARGING THE SHARK ION™ ROBOT

CHARGING

IMPORTANT: The Shark ION Robot has a pre-installed rechargeable battery, Battery must be fully charged before using.

To charge, the Power button on the side of the robot must be in the ON position (I)

When the cleaning cycle is complete, or if the battery is running low, the robot will search for the dock, if your robot doesn't return to the dock, its charge may have run out.

If the robot has no charge and cannot return to the charging dock, place it on the dock manually.

NOTE: When manually placing the robot on the dock, make sure the Charging Contacts on the bottom of the robot are aligned with the ones on the dock, To ensure the robot is docked correctly, refer to the Charge Indicator Lights section.

CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHTS

The blue charge indicator lights show how much charge is remaining.

While the robot is charging, all three blue LED lights will cycle. When charging is complete, all three blue lights will illuminate steadily,

If the robot is idle and away from the charging dock for 10 minutes, it will enter Sleep Mode, and the lights will turn off.

if ail the indicator lights are off, then the robot is in Sleep Mode, the power switch is turned OFF (O) or there is no charge remaining. Turn the power switch ON (I). Press any button to ensure robot is not in Sleep Mode, if ail indicator lights remain off, there is no charge. Place the robot on the dock, leaving a half-inch space between the front of the robot and the face of the dock. When the robot is docked correctly and begins to charge, it will beep and the charge indicator lights will cycle.

NOTE: if the low charge light is blinking red, there is not enough charge for the robot to return to the dock. Manually place the robot on the dock, leaving a half-inch space between the front of the robot and the face of the dock.

TIP: To preserve battery life, turn off the power switch if robot will not be used for a long period of time. Unit should be recharged at least once every three months.
