How it works
• Your robot must be installed and trained to your yard perimeter
by an iRobot approved professional installer. Do not attempt to
install or rearrange the robot, beacons, or charging station by
yourself.
• Your robot will mow your lawn on its own once you’ve either set
it to a mowing schedule or manually started it on the mower or
iRobot HOME App.
• Your robot uses the beacons to understand its location in your
yard, and to plan its path. Ensure that your beacons do not move,
or else your robot will not know where it is and then it will not be
able to mow.
• Your robot will automatically return back to its charging station
when a mowing job is complete.
• The bumper receives a signal to re-navigate when it bumps into
larger objects like trees, large rocks, or structures.
• The bumper may not sense smaller objects, so clear your yard
of small obstacles like toys, equipment, or gardening supplies
before any scheduled or on-demand mowing jobs.
Before you mow
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for acci-
dents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Your robot is equipped with numerous built-in safety features.
However, the robot is a hazardous device with sharp blades,
which could cause major injury to anyone who comes in contact
with them. Therefore, don’t ever use the robot lawn mower when
persons are in the cutting area.
• Before operation, always check the work area and remove any
branches, rocks, and other objects from the lawn.
• Note that the robot is intended for consumer use only; use must
be limited to residential areas.

Mowing
For best performance and maintenance of your lawn, send your robot
to mow at least 3 times per week.
To start mowing, first make sure that the Mode Key is in the Auto

Tips for Best Performance
• Set up an automatic mowing schedule using the iRobot HOME App.
For optimal performance, schedule your mower to run at least 3
times per week.
• Adjust the grass-cut height, child lock, and anti-theft alarm
preferences in the iRobot HOME App.
• Keep your charging station plugged in and the area around it clear
of obstacles.
• Keep the beacons and charging station in the locations set by the
iRobot authorized installer. If you need to change them for some
reason, please email TerraSupport@irobot.com.
• For the best possible result, it’s recommended to run your robot
lawn mower primarily in dry weather. The robot lawn mower is also
able to run in rain; however, wet grass will be more likely to stick to
the mower, which could create a greater risk of the mower slipping
on steep slopes.
Charging
• Slide your robot onto the charging station contacts to charge
the battery.
• The robot light ring will pulse to let you know it’s charging.
• The charging status can be viewed on the iRobot HOME App or on the
battery icon under the lid on your robot.
• Your robot uses a small amount of power whenever it’s on its charging
station.
• For long term storage, turn o your robot by turning the Mode Key to
the O position and then removing the robot from its charging station.
Store your robot in a cool, dry place.
