PREP YOUR HOME
Your robot uses an array of sensors to navigate around walls, furniture legs, and other obstacles while it
cleans. To prevent the robot from bumping into objects or navigating to areas you don't want it to, use the
included BotBoundary™ strips. For best results, prepare your home as indicated below, and schedule a daily
cleaning to ensure all floor areas are regularly maintained.
NOTE: Scheduling is one of many features that are only available in the app.
OBSTRUCTIONS
Clear cords and small objects
from floors and open interior
doors to ensure a complete
map of your home.
THRESHOLDS
Your robot may have trouble
clearing some thresholds
higher than 2.2 cm (7/8").
Block off high thresholds with
the included BotBoundary™
strips.
STAIRS
Your robot's cliff sensors will
prevent it from falling off
ledges. For the cliff sensors
to work properly, all runners,
rugs, or carpets must be at
least 20 cm (8 inches) from
any stairs (or extend over the
edge of the stairs.)
BOTBOUNDARY™ STRIPS
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. You can cut BotBoundary
strips to shorten them as
needed. (.5 m/18-inch
minimum) If cutting a strip,
(.5 m/18" Minimum)
make sure it's still long enough
to cover the entire area you
need to block off. Gaps may
cause BotBoundary strips to
malfunction.
2. Make sure each BotBoundary
strip lies completely flat
against the floor, with no
overlapping. NOTE: DO NOT
BotBoundary strip
place BotBoundary strips on
top of one another.
3. For best results, place the
strips between fixed objects
like furniture legs or door
frames, or make a closed loop
around an obstacle.

SCHEDULING
For a constant state of
clean, set up a whole-home
cleaning schedule cleaning
schedule in the app.
AVOID MOVING THE
ROBOT & DOCK
While your robot is cleaning,
do not pick it up and move
it to different rooms, or
move the charging dock—
this could impact the robot's
navigation.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning an entire room for the
first time, we recommend that you first test your robot
on a small section of the floor to ensure there is no
scratching.
PREPPING YOUR HOME USING
BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS
Use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily
create no-go zones to keep your robot out of the areas
you would like it to avoid. These may include:
• Near power cords
• In front of thresholds higher than 2.2 cm (7/8")

USING THE SHARK IQ ROBOT™
IQ NAVIGATION™
As it cleans, your robot will create a map of your
home. It may take several cleanings for the robot to
finish its mapping. Once mapping is complete, an
Interactive Map of your floor plan will be available
on the app.
MANUAL CLEANING MODE
To manually start a cleaning cycle, press the Clean button on the robot or on the
mobile app. To stop the robot before it finishes cleaning and automatically returns to
the dock, press the Dock button.
NOTE: Be sure to charge the robot completely before its first cleaning so that it can explore, map, and clean as much of
your home as possible. It may take up to 6 hours to fully charge your robot.
NOTE: Avoid picking up or moving the robot or dock. If either are relocated, the robot may not be able to follow its
intelligent cleaning path, or find its way back to the dock. If the robot is picked up or moved for any reason, it should be
returned to within 15 cm (6 inches) of its last location.
