Positioning the Home Base®
Place the Home Base in an open, uncluttered area. We recommend
you leave the following distances around the Home Base:
• At least 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) on each side of the Home Base.
• At least 4 feet (1 meter) in front of the Home Base, with no furniture
such as tables or chairs within this area.
• At least 4 feet (1 meter) between the Home Base and any stairs.
• At least 8 feet (2.5 meters) from Virtual Wall barriers.
Keep the Home Base on a level surface, flat against a wall to help
Roomba clean more eciently. Putting the Home Base at an angle will
cause Roomba to clean diagonally in motion in relation to the wall.
Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When the Home Base is
first plugged in, its power light turns on momentarily to indicate the
Home Base is connected to the power source.
Place the Home Base in an area with consistent Wi-Fi® coverage;
this will allow Roomba to receive information via the iRobot HOME
app. If your mobile device has Wi-Fi® coverage at that location,
Roomba should have sucient signal strength.
