Shark IQ Robot Vacuum AV1010AE Quick Start Guide

Scheduling

For a constant state of clean, set up a cleaning schedule in the app.

Avoid Moving the Robot or Base

While your robot is cleaning, do not pick it up and move it, or move the charging base—this could impact the robot's ability to map your home.

Check Base Fill Level

During the first few weeks, your robot will empty more often than usual. Check the fill level regularly. Home environments vary, and the bin may fill up quicker in some homes.

Lighting Conditions

For best results, run your robot in well-lit conditions. If you run your robot at night, keep the lights on in the areas to be cleaned.

Doorways and Thresholds

Your robot can easily climb over most thresholds, but if one is higher than 7/8ths of an inch, block it off with a BotBoundary® strip.

Step 1: Prep the Robot

• Remove protective film from robot and base.
• Attach side brushes located in the red packaging.
• The power button on the side of the robot must be in the (I) ON position.

Step 2: Set Up the Base

Find a permanent location for the base. Place it with its back against a wall, in an area with a good Wi-Fi signal. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 ft. from either side of the base, or closer than 5 ft. from the front. For best results, set up base on hard floor.

Step 3: Plug in the Base

• Plug cord into electrical outlet.
• Make sure the power switch on the back of the dock is in the ON position.
• The Indicator Light will illuminate green (?) when base has power.

Step 4: Charge the Robot

Place robot on base to charge for 6 hours (?). Power button must be in the (I) ON position and the robot must be aligned correctly, with its BACK side against the base. When charging begins, the robot will BEEP and the DOCK light will turn BLUE (?).

? NOTE: Every time the robot returns to the dock, it will make a loud noise as it empties debris. This is normal and no cause for concern.

Step 5: Prep Your Home

Clear cords and remove small objects like toys, clothing, or drapes from floors. Open interior doors in rooms you want your robot to clean.

Step 1: Create An Account

Open the SharkClean app and set up your account.

Step 2: Activate Robot Wi-Fi

Hold down Dock and Clean buttons simultaneously until your Shark prompts you with audio, and Wi-Fi light (?) on robot blinks.

Step 3: Select Robot (Apple iOS Only)

• Exit the app and open Wi-Fi settings.
• Select your robot (Ex. Shark_ RVXXX) from the menu.
• Exit settings and return to the SharkClean app.

Step 4: Connect To Home Wi-Fi

? NOTE: Most networks are 2.4 GHz. The app will not work on 5 GHz network.

Can't Connect?

• Restart your phone.
• Reboot your robot: Make sure the power switch on the back of the BASE is in the ON position. Press the power button on the side of the ROBOT to the OFF position for 10 seconds, then press it again to turn power back ON.
• Reboot your router: Unplug the router power cable for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow several minutes for your router to reboot completely.
