In a few hours off it went….and it has been going every day for the past 3 months. What a great find! Never will I got back to the old style of vacuum.

4. What can I do to help Roomba get back to the Home Base?
The Home Base creates an infrared “beam” that Roomba needs to find in order to return successfully.
You should make sure that the Home Base is plugged in, the power light is on, and the base is on a flat, level surface. Do not use any Virtual Walls near the Home Base.
5. Roomba does not respond to Scheduler commands?
When sending schedules to Roomba, make sure that Roomba is 8 feet away from the Home Base OR that Roomba is completely on the Home Base and that both Home Base lights are on. Also,make sure that any Virtual Walls in the area are turned off.
