6 Roomba

900 Series Owner’s Guide

Follow these three simple steps to get started with your Roomba vacuum

cleaning robot. For additional operating instructions see page 8.

Step 1: Activate Roomba

• In an uncluttered area, place the Home Base® charging station

ﬂat against a wall on a level ﬂoor surface. Refer to page 17 for

tips on optimizing the position of the Home Base.

• Plug one end of the line cord into the Home Base and the other

into a wall outlet.

• Remove the yellow bin insert and battery pull tab from beneath

the robot.

• Place Roomba onto the Home Base, making sure the metal

charging contacts on the Home Base match up with those

underneath the robot.

• If successful, you will hear a series of tones. Once the CLEAN

button illuminates, Roomba is ready for use.

Step 2: Start Cleaning Cycle

• Press CLEAN once to wake up Roomba.

• Press CLEAN again to start a cleaning cycle.

• Roomba cleans an entire level of your home during one

cleaning cycle.

• If its battery gets low before ﬁnishing a cleaning cycle, Roomba

returns to the Home Base to recharge. After its battery has been

recharged, Roomba automatically resumes, completes the

cleaning cycle, and returns to the Home Base.

• If the Home Base is inaccessible, Roomba will not be able to recharge.

It will return to its starting location and the cleaning cycle will end.

Note: Roomba ships with a partial battery charge. If you start a cleaning

cycle before charging the battery fully, Roomba may return to the Home Base

to recharge sooner than it will during future cleaning cycles.

Step 3: Download the iRobot HOME App

• The iRobot HOME App allows you to use your iOS or Android smart

device to help you have the best possible experience with Roomba.
