18 iRobot Roomba Professional Series
Home Base
®
Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when
its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the
Home Base in order to return.
Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When Roomba is on the Home
Base, the Power and Docked lights will be green to indicate Roomba is
charging.
Home Base Location
You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an
area where Roomba has a clear path to return at the end of a cleaning
cycle. Locate the Home Base against a wall or other immovable object to
prevent it from sliding during docking. If Roomba is unable to dock on its
first attempt, it will try again until it docks successfully.
