GETTING TO KNOW ROGUE™
Rogue™ Control Center
These icons are located on my lid and will light up when active.
This blue Wi-Fi symbol will light up
when you are connected to Wi-Fi
through the Hoover Home App. If it’s
not lit, I’m not connected.
To set up a connection, turn to
page 8.
This battery symbol lets you know my
battery status. If you don’t see it lit
up, I have enough battery life. When
it starts blinking, I’m going to head
back to my base to recharge.
When you see this symbol, it means
my dirt cup is full. Please make sure
to empty it so I can continue cleaning.
The light will disappear once you
empty the dirt cup and press the .
When you see this symbol flashing,
I’m in trouble. It might be as simple
as something stuck in my brush roll
or it could be an internal error.
Turn to page 19 for some common
errors I might encounter and how you
can help me.

GETTING TO KNOW ROGUE™
Voice Control
I’ve got a pretty good relationship with Amazon Alexa* and Google Home Assistant*.
If you own an Amazon Alexa product or a Google Home Assistant, you can use them
to communicate with me. Download the skill set in the Amazon Alexa or Google Home
App.
Robart®Technology with Memory Navigation
I utilize a high-tech laser to map and navigate your home because I'm
highly intelligent. I will also remember your home's floor plan so you can
customize how I clean (See SmartWall™Technology on page 10).
SmartWall™Technology
Through the Hoover Home App, you can designate rooms and areas as off
limits but I don’t know why you would want to. *Amazon Alexa and Google Home Assistant sold separately.
NOTE: The Hoover Home App is required to interact with Amazon Alexa and Google Home
Assistant. Be on the look out for new skills/commands coming soon.

THE HOOVER HOME APP
Why download my App?
Make sure your device’s Wi-Fi and

NOTE: I only work on 2.4GHz networks so make sure you aren’t on a 5GHz.
Most routers will broadcast both so just switch on over to the 2.4GHz.

THE HOOVER HOME APP: SMARTWALL™TECHNOLOGY
I understand you might not want me in certain areas or rooms, so use SmartWall™Technology in the Hoover Home App to create
boundaries and barriers that I won’t cross.
If you have not downloaded the Hoover Home App, please go to page 8 for instructions on how to get connected. Before attempting to use SmartWall™Technology,
please allow Rogue™to complete the Recon Mode to explore its surroundings and map your floor plan.
• Mark entire rooms as off-limits.
• Mark areas within rooms as off-limits (I want to avoid the dog bowl
just as much as you do).
Why use SmartWall™ Technology?
Visit Hoover.com for a SmartWall™Technology tutorial.

established and zones created. Please let Rogue™ run its Recon Mode to map your floor plan before attempting to schedule by room.
