Before first use, fully charge your Roomba's battery. This typically takes up to 3 hours. You can charge the Roomba in two ways:

1. Using the Home Base: Place the Home Base on a hard, level surface against a wall. Ensure there are no obstacles for at least 3 feet (1 meter) in front of the Home Base and 1 foot (0.3 meters) on either side. Plug the power charger into the Home Base and then into a wall outlet. Place Roomba onto the Home Base, ensuring the metal charging contacts align. The power indicator on the Home Base will illuminate.
2. Directly with the Power Charger: Plug the power charger directly into the charging port on the side of the Roomba and then into a wall outlet.

• Remove clutter, loose cables, small rugs, and delicate items from the floor.
• Lift curtains or bedspreads that reach the floor.
• Use Virtual Walls (if included) to block off areas you don't want Roomba to enter.
