3. Installation
3.1 Chargement de la batterie
Before first use, fully charge the Roomba's battery. Place the Roomba on its Home Base or connect the power source directly to the robot. A full charge can take up to 3 hours and provides up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning.
3.2 Placing the Home Base
Position the Home Base against a wall in an open, uncluttered area. Ensure there is at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clear space on either side of the Home Base and 6 feet (2 meters) in front of it. This allows the Roomba to easily dock and recharge.

3.3 Setting up Virtual Walls
Use the included Auto Virtual Walls to create invisible barriers, preventing the Roomba from entering specific areas. Place a Virtual Wall at a doorway or other opening and adjust the infrared beam setting to match the desired boundary distance. The Roomba will detect the beam and not cross it.
4. Mode d'emploi
4.1 Démarrage d'un cycle de nettoyage
Appuyez sur le grand FAIRE LE MÉNAGE button on the top of the Roomba to start a cleaning cycle. The robot will automatically navigate and clean your floors, adjusting its cleaning head for different surfaces like wood, tile, linoleum, and carpets.

4.2 Amarrage automatique
When the battery runs low or a cleaning cycle is complete, the Roomba will automatically return to its Home Base to recharge.
4.3 Anti-Tangle Technology
The Roomba 560 is equipped with anti-tangle technology. If the unit encounters cords or rug fringes, it will automatically reverse its brushes to prevent entanglement and continue cleaning.
4.4 capteurs de falaise
Built-in cliff sensors prevent the Roomba from falling down stairs or other drop-offs.
4.5 Gentle-Touch Bumper System
The robot uses a gentle-touch bumper system to sense obstacles, slowing its approach and gently touching objects before redirecting to clean around or under them.

Clean the fine-filtration system filter regularly. Tap the filter against a trash can to remove dust. Replace the filter every 1-2 months, or as needed, to maintain suction performance.
5.4 Nettoyage des capteurs
Wipe the cliff sensors and bumper sensors with a clean, dry cloth to ensure they function correctly.
6. Dépannage
- Roomba ne charge pas : Ensure the Home Base is plugged in and positioned correctly. Clean the charging contacts on both the Roomba and the Home Base.
- Roomba bloqué : Clear the cleaning area of excessive cords, loose rugs, or small objects. Clean the anti-tangle brushes.
- Mauvaises performances de nettoyage : Videz le bac à poussière, nettoyez ou remplacez le filtre, et nettoyez les brosses principales et la brosse latérale.
- Le Roomba ne retourne pas à sa base : Ensure the Home Base is in an open area and not blocked. Check if Virtual Walls are interfering with the signal.
