Setup Guide

1. Unpack the Robot and Dock: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all protective films and packing materials are removed from the robot and the AutoEmpty dock.
2. Place the AutoEmpty Dock: Choose a location for the dock that is against a wall, on a hard, level surface, and has at least 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) of clear space on either side and 4 feet (1.2 meters) in front. Ensure it's near a power outlet and has good Wi-Fi signal.
3. Connect Power: Plug the dock's power cord into a wall outlet.
4. Charge the Robot: Place the Roomba robot onto the charging contacts of the AutoEmpty dock. The robot will begin charging. Allow it to fully charge before its first use (typically several hours).
5. Download the iRobot Home App: Search for "iRobot Home" in your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and download the application.
6. Connect to Wi-Fi: Open the iRobot Home app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. The robot requires a 2.4 GHz network for initial setup and operation.
7. Initial Mapping Run: Once connected, the app will guide you through an initial mapping run. This allows the robot to learn your home's layout and create a smart map for efficient cleaning.
