Meet Your Neato Robot
Congratulations on your new home robot – now “connected” in your smart home so you can
manage your floor cleaning from a smartphone or tablet. 
This guide will help get your robot set up and connected via the Neato app. You’ll also find
some important information on operating and maintaining your robot for best performance.
Then relax. Your robot will let you know when your floors are clean.
Any problems? Just let us know. We are here to help. www.neatorobotics.com/support
In order to ensure the best possible experience with your
Neato robot, please note the following to minimize any
risk of damage to household furnishings or belongings.
Please observe your Neato robot during the first few
cleaning runs and make any adjustments to the cleaning
environment to optimize navigation.
• While Neato robots have a smart navigation system
that avoids obstacles, the robot may occasionally bump
into furniture, objects, pets and people. Therefore,
if you have special objects that could potentially be
damaged by the bumping, remove these objects from
the room or use boundary markers.
• Similarly, the Neato robot’s rotating brush operates
like a regular upright vacuum cleaner, so do not use
the Neato robot on floors or rugs (e.g., with fringes)
that you would not use a regular upright vacuum on.
Neato Robotics is not responsible for any damage
to furniture, objects, rugs, or flooring.

TIPS
To keep your robot out of places you don’t
want it to go, set down boundary markers
(included in specific models, however Neato
Boundary Markers are compatible with all
Neato robots).
You can use scissors to cut boundary
markers to a shorter length.
You can use removable tape to keep
boundary markers flat on the floor.
To do a Reset of the Neato robot, press and
hold the button for 10 seconds and all the
lights will turn o. Press Start button once
more to turn the robot back on.
The combo brush oers superior pick-up
of pet hair, reduced noise during operation,
and is ideal for homes with multiple types of
flooring.
The spiral blade brush (sold separately)
oers deep cleaning performance across all
floor surfaces.
Shiny surfaces and black floors might cause
navigation issues.
Before connecting your robot to your Neato
account, view the How-To Video online at
www.NeatoRobotics.com/Support
Important Items and Tips
IMPORTANT ITEMS
Keep your robot away from liquids and wet
areas. Move or cover pet bowls and plant trays.
Clear the area of small items such as toys
and clothing.
Tie up wires, curtains and other low-hanging
items.
Thick carpet on top stair may aect the
ability of the robot’s navigation system to
prevent falls (top stair with low pile carpet is
OK). To make sure your robot sees the drop,
place boundary markers 6 inches/15cm from
the edge of the stair.
Keep your Neato inside the house. It was not
designed for outdoor cleaning or freezing
temperatures.
IMPORTANT: Please observe your Neato robot during the first few cleaning runs and make any adjustments to the cleaning environment to optimize navigation. Also, while Neato robots have a
smart navigation system that avoids obstacles, the robot may occasionally bump into furniture, objects pets and people. Therefore, if you have special objects that could potentially be damaged
by the bumping, remove these objects from the room or use boundary markers. Similarly, the Neato robot’s rotating brush operates like a regular upright vacuum cleaner, so do not use the
Neato robot on floors or rugs (e.g., with fringes) that you would not use a regular upright vacuum on. Neato Robotics is not responsible for any damage to furniture, objects, rugs, or flooring.

HOUSE CLEANING
In normal operation, Neato comes oof
its base, explores its surroundings and
starts cleaning. It starts cleaning in sections
approximately 15’x15’ depending on layout
and furniture in the room. It will continue to
clean section by section until the entire area is
cleaned.
Your Neato robot will also try to clean one
room fully before moving on to the next,
assuming it can detect your doorways. If it
cleans a partial room, your Neato robot will
come back to finish the room before finishing
the complete job.
AUTO CHARGE AND RESUME
If the area the Neato robot is attempting
to clean is very large, the robot will return
to its base mid-cleaning to recharge. Once
recharged, it will return to finish where it left
o. A complete cleaning cycle includes 3
cleanings and 2 recharges so that Neato can
clean very large areas on one level.
SINGLE ROOM CLEANING
If you just want to clean a single room, you
can manually place your robot in the room,
press the start button, and close the door.
Your Neato robot will clean the room, and
return to where you originally placed it in the
room. When the robot has finished cleaning,
please put the robot back on its charge base.
RETURNING TO BASE
For best results, we recommend you start
your robot from its charge base. When
started from its charge base, it has a better
result in returning to base when it is complete.
MOVING A ROBOT MID-CLEANING
It is not recommended to pick up your robot
and move it mid-cleaning. It can become
disoriented, not follow its normal smart
behavior, and have diculty finding its charge
base. If you pick up your robot, put it back
down within 1 foot of where you picked
it up for best results.

Replace the filter
every 1 to 2 months
or more frequently
as needed.
If your robot has a side brush, remove the
side brush and set aside. Then, remove the
brush guard by pulling up on both sides.
Use the hair/fiber blade to cut and remove
hair from the brush. Remove any debris from
the brush ends and inside the brush cavity
where the brush sits. Re-insert the brush and
replace the brush guard.

Voici votre robot Neato
Félicitations pour l’acquisition de votre nouveau robot domestique, désormais «connecté»
àvotre maison intelligente pour vous permettre de gérer le nettoyage de vos sols depuis
votre smartphone ou votre tablette.
Ce guide vous aidera à installer votre robot et à le connecter via l’application Neato. Vous
ytrouverez également des informations importantes sur le fonctionnement et l’entretien de
votre robot, afin d’obtenir des performances optimales. Alors, détendez-vous. Votre robot
vous préviendra lorsque vos sols seront propres.
Afin de garantir la meilleure expérience possible avec votre
robot Neato, veuillez noter les points suivants afin de minimiser
tout risque de dommages aux meubles ou biens domestiques.
Veuillez observer votre robot Neato pendant les premiers
cycles de nettoyage et apportez les ajustements nécessaires
àl’environnement de nettoyage pour optimiser la navigation.
• Même si les robots Neato disposent d’un système de
navigation intelligente qui évite les obstacles, le robot peut
parfois heurter les meubles, les objets, les animaux et les
personnes. Par conséquent, si vous avez des objets auxquels
vous tenez particulièrement qui pourraient être endommagés
en cas de choc avec le robot, retirez-les de la pièce ou utilisez
des balises de délimitation.
• De même, la brosse rotative du robot Neato fonctionne
comme celle d’un aspirateur balai standard ; n’utilisez
donc pas le robot Neato sur les planchers ou les tapis (par
exemple, avec des franges) sur lesquels nous n’utiliseriez
pasun aspirateur balai standard.
Neato Robotics décline toute responsabilité en cas de
dommage causé à des meubles, des objets, des tapis
oudessols.
