USER MANUAL Botvac D6 Connected Neato Robotics

Connecting Your Robot

1 BEFORE BEGINNING

To operate correctly, remove all protective films and shipping material from the robot and charge base.

Have your smartphone / tablet available.

You will need your wifi network name and password.

TIP: Locate your router in a central location where it can deliver a strong signal throughout the house.

2 SET UP CHARGE BASE

Plug the power cord securely into the charge base.

Adjust the length of the cord by wrapping it as shown.

Choose a wall outlet that has a 3' (1 m) clearance on both sides and in front of the charge base. This helps your robot find the charge base.

Plug in the power cord and push the charge base against the wall.

TIP: Locate the charge base on a hard floor surface.

TIP: Make sure the power outlet is not controlled by a switch.

3 INITIAL ROBOT CHARGING

Place the rounded side of your Neato robot against the metal charging contacts on the charge base until the contacts are pushed all of the way in.

For best results, charge the robot fully before your first cleaning cycle.

NOTE: During bootup, the robot LEDs next to the Start Button will alternately blink blue. You will need to wait for an audible tone before performing additional functions.

NOTE: Your robot is only compatible with the included charge base.

4 ACCESSING THE NEATO APP

• Open the Neato app and create a Neato account

TIP: If you have an existing Neato account, you can just sign in

  • Sign in to the Neato app
• Follow steps in the Neato app to CONNECT YOUR ROBOT

TIP: Your robot is in pairing mode for the first 60 minutes after you turn on your robot for the first time.

FloorPlanner™ with No-Go Lines

Use the Neato app and the FloorPlanner map of your home to set up virtual boundaries called No-Go Lines so you can tell the robot where not to go.

To set up virtual No-Go Lines, please be sure that the Neato App is installed on your selected device, then follow the next steps:

Launch the Neato App and tap the "Tri-Bar" symbol in the left upper corner.

Select the "MY FLOOR PLAN" option.

MY FLOOR PLAN Edit floor plan

Tap the "Get Started" button and follow the instructions to allow the robot to do a special cleaning run to create a floor map.

Once the cleaning is complete, you'll be notified that the robot has created your new floor plan. Give the new floor plan a name and save.

Tap the "ADD NO-GO LINE" icon and draw your boundary line directly on the map.

Continue tapping the "ADD NO-GO LINE" button to create multiple boundary lines.

TIP: Draw No-Go Lines more accurately by zooming into the floor plan. Double tap or use the pinch gesture to zoom. Ensure there are no gaps in the boundaries created with the No-Go Lines.

No-Go Lines Seven

To clean with No-Go lines, only use the app to start your robot

DK

When finished setting your boundaries, tap the "Save" icon to store your floor plan with virtual No-Go Lines added

A confirmation prompt will appear, letting you know that "No-Go" lines have been saved.

Once saved, your new floor plan with virtual No-Go Lines will become your default map, and be utilized for future cleaning events.

NOTE: Botvac D4 can only store one floor plan at a time and accompanying virtual No-Go Lines.

NOTE: Botvac D6 can store more than one floor plan and accompanying virtual No-Go Lines. To clean with No-Go Lines, the robot must be started from a charge base on each floor. It is recommended to have additional charge bases (sold separately) for each floor plan.

Cleaning with No-Go Lines

To clean with No-Go Lines enabled, the robot must start from the charge base and the cleaning must be initiated from the Neato app. Press the Start button on the app, or schedule a cleaning on the app.

NOTE:

• After each cleaning, tap the 📋, to see a Cleaning Summary which shows where the robot has cleaned on the coverage map.
• To use No-Go Lines, the charge base must stay in the original location where the floor plan was created.
• If cleaning is initiated using the Start button on the robot, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Chatbots, or IFTTT, it will not adhere to the No-Go Lines boundaries.
