USING THE SHARK ION™ ROBOT
SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Smart Sensor technology allows your robot to navigate around obstructions as it cleans.
During your first few cleanings, you may need to make some small adjustments to optimize
your robot's performance.

CORDS AND OBSTRUCTIONS
Before cleaning, clear away cords and other
obstructions or block off the area with the included
BotBoundary™ strips.
DOORWAY THRESHOLDS
Your robot may not be able to clear some high
thresholds. Block off high thresholds with
BotBoundary strips.

RETURNING TO DOCK
Make sure the dock is set up as shown. If your
robot roams too far, it could have trouble finding
the dock. It may be helpful to block off part of your
home with BotBoundary strips, or to add a second
dock (available at sharkaccessories.com)

BOTBOUNDARY™ STRIPS
To keep your robot away from certain areas, such as pet bowls, fragile objects, power strips, or
doorways, use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily create "no-go zones".

4-inch
Min.
For your robot's cliff sensors to work properly,
all runners, rugs, or carpets must be at least
4 inches from any stairs (or extend over the edge
of the stairs.)
If a runner, rug, or carpet edge is less than
4 inches from the stairs and can't be moved,
use a BotBoundary strip to block off the stairs.
NOTE: To prevent bumping, place strips at least 2 inches in front of the object you want to block off.
NOTE: You do not need to use BotBoundary strips on stairs. Your robot has cliff sensors that will prevent it from falling
off any ledges or stairs.
Cut the BotBoundary strip to the desired length
(18˝/45cm minimum) so that it spans the length of
the doorway or object you want to block off.
For best results, make sure your BotBoundary strip
is completely flat against the floor. Make a closed
loop around an object, or place the strips between
fixed objects, like door frames or the legs of a couch.
