Setup

Before first use, ensure your Shark IQ Robot is properly set up for optimal performance and navigation.

1. Unpacking and Charging

• Remove all packaging materials from the robot and charging dock.
• Place the charging dock on a level surface against a wall, with at least 3 feet of clear space on either side and 5 feet in front.
• Plug the charging dock into a power outlet.
• Place the robot onto the charging dock. The battery indicator lights will illuminate to show charging status. Allow the robot to fully charge before its first cleaning cycle (approximately 6 hours).

2. Initial Home Mapping

The robot will create a map of your home during its first few cleaning runs. This map allows for efficient navigation and room selection.

• Clear any obstacles from the floor before the first mapping run.
• Ensure all interior doors are open to allow the robot to access all areas you wish to map.
• The robot will methodically clean and map your home. Subsequent cleanings will be more efficient.

3. Setting Up Boundary Strips (Optional)

Use the included boundary strips to create "no-go" zones for the robot, preventing it from entering specific areas or going over certain thresholds.

• Cut the boundary strip to the desired length.
• Place the strip flat on the floor or under rugs where you want to restrict the robot's access.
• Ensure the shiny side of the strip is facing down.

Operating Your Robot Vacuum

The Shark IQ Robot offers multiple ways to initiate and manage cleaning cycles.

1. Manual Operation
