HAZARD WARININGS

Risk of electric shock!

• Always switch the device off before carrying out any

cleaning or maintenance work. Disconnect the power plug

from the charge base.

• Never pull the power plug out of the socket by the power

cord; instead, pull it out by the power plug itself.

• Disconnect the power plug from the socket before opening

the charge base.

• Never perform repairs on your device yourself. Repairs

to electric devices may only be carried out by Neato

customer service.

• Do not insert any pointed objects into the electric contacts.

• Do not change the contacts.

• Never carry the charge base by the power cord.

• Do not continue to operate the robot if the device itself or

the power cord is damaged.

• Contact your Neato customer service in the event of

damage.

• Do not clean the robot, the charge base or the power cable

in water or other liquids.

• Do not use the robot on damp ground or in places in which

it can get into contact with liquids or be immersed in water.

• Do not use the robot in humid environments, such as wet

bathrooms.

• Do not use the robot in hazardous areas such open

ﬁreplaces, running showers or swimming pools.

• Make sure that you do not damage, bend or twist the power

cord. Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cord.

This could damage the power cord and cause a ﬁre or

electrical shock.

• Drooping or bare cables, curtains, tablecloths or cords in the

working area of the robot are to be secured in order to avoid

damage to the it or cause an electrical shock.

• Make sure no fragile, light, loose or movable objects are

within range of the robot.

Risk of injury!

• Never run the robot over any part of the body. Do not

vacuum close to children or pets; keep body parts away

from the spinning brush.

Risk of pinching!

• Keep away from moving parts.

Note! Risk of damage from improper use!

• Use Neato Genuine Accessory parts only.

• Use the charge base exclusively with the alternating current

voltage stated on the type plate and on a connection that

has been properly installed by an expert.

• Do not use the robot if the charge base, the power cord or

the robot are faulty or damaged, or if the robot has not been

completely assembled.

• If the power cord or charge base is faulty, it must be

replaced with a Neato Genuine Accessory to avoid hazards.

• Never try to repair the robot by yourself.

• This robot is intended for indoor use only.

• This robot is intended for the cleaning of ﬂoors only.

• Make sure that children do not play with the robot.

• Keep children and pets away from the robot; do not let them

stand or sit on it.

• Do not vacuum up any cleaning powders with the robot.

• Very ﬁne sand, limestone, cement dust or similar particulates

will block the pores of the ﬁlter and reduce performance.

• Never use the robot without the ﬁlter. This will damage the

motor and shorten the life of the robot.

• To charge the robot, only use the power cord and charge

base included in the box.

• Do not cover the infrared window of the charge base with

stickers or other objects that can block the window.

• Do not block the sensors on the robot. Otherwise it will no

longer be able to orientate itself or communicate with the

charge base.

• The robot can be used on most carpets with a ﬁber length

of up to 0.7in (20mm). It may move slower on carpet than

hard wood.

• Do not use 3rd party batteries with the robot. Only use

Genuine Neato Accessory batteries.

• Do not use the robot on top of worktops or glass-ceramic

stove tops.

• Make sure that no fragile, light or loose objects are within

range of the robot.

• If the drop sensors are dirty, the robot may fall down stairs

or off ledges. This can cause serious damage to the device.

Please clean the drop sensors regularly

• If there are steps in the working area of the robot, the

enclosed boundary markers can be applied to the top stair.

The minimum distance to the edge of the step should be

approximately 0.75in (2cm) on hardwood or thin carpet. On

thick carpet the minimum distance to the edge of the step

should be approximately 6in (15cm). This is an extra safety

measure to prevent the robot from falling off a ledge or

stairs.

Laser Distance Sensor (LDS)

The laser distance sensor contains a rotating class 1 laser

according to DIN EN 60825-1. In general, the following codes

of practice apply for lasers:

• Switch the robot off before reﬁt or repair.

• Do not direct the laser beam at people.

• Do not look into the direct or reﬂected beam of the laser.

• It is not permitted to carry out manipulations (alterations)

or attempt repairs on the device and especially on the LDS.

Electromagnetic ﬁelds

• The robot meets all standards regarding electromagnetic

ﬁelds (EMF).

• According to current scientiﬁc ﬁndings, the robot is safe to

use provided that it is handled correctly and in accordance

with the instructions in the user manual.

• The device complies with the safety requirements of

the country in which it was sold by a Neato Authorized

Distributor.

• By using the device in another country, compliance with

local safety standards cannot be guaranteed. Neato

therefore rejects any resulting safety risks for the user.

HOW BOTVAC WORKS

Your Neato Botvac uses sophisticated mapping software to create

a map of your home and plan its cleaning.

The foundation of Neato’s robotic technology is its patented

Neato Botvision™ – a breakthrough in robotic mapping and

navigation. Botvision uses a proprietary laser scanner and

proprietary navigation software based on SLAM (Simultaneous

Localization and Mapping) – the same technology used by the

Google self-driving car. This is a milestone achievement – Neato

has brought a laser scanning technology that typically costs

thousands of dollars to a consumer product at an affordable price.

Smart mapping – Neato’s patented laser distance system

continually scans the room, making instant decisions based on

input from its external sensors. This enables Botvac to create

detailed and accurate maps of its environment and methodically

clean in an organized back and forth pattern, leaving the straight

carpet vacuum lines.

OTHER ROBOTS NEATO ROBOTS

Instead of bumping around like other robot vacuums,

Neato Botvac uses patented Neato Botvision to scan

and map the room, plan, and methodically clean.

Tip! Give It Power

Charge it when you aren’t using it to ensure it is ready to clean

and to maintain the batteries.

Tip! Set Cleaning Boundaries

Your Botvac will clean everywhere it can reach. If you want to

keep it from a certain area, just put down boundary markers. It

will clean up to the boundary markers but will not cross over

them. See section on Boundary Markers for more information.

Tip! Keep It Well-Maintained

Because it’s down in the dirt all day long, your Botvac can

get a little grungy. See section on Maintenance for more

information.

IMPORTANT! Risk of damage from improper use

Remove light, fragile or movable objects from the ﬂoor.

Remove shag carpets from the area that you would like to clean.

IMPORTANT! Keep It Away From Water, Chemicals,

or Other Mold Producing Fluids

Do not clean wet messes

with your Botvac.

Do not bathe or otherwise

submerge your Botvac in water.

Do not use harsh chemicals on your Botvac, or anything that

can permanently stain it.

IMPORTANT! Keep Botvac Away From Hanging Cables and

Low To The Ground Tablecloths and Curtains

To keep your Botvac and your home safe, make sure that it

cannot get caught on tablecloths, curtains, hanging electric

cords, or other cord-like items.

IMPORTANT! Don’t Let It Get Cold

Exposing your Botvac to freezing temperatures may cause

permanent damage.

IMPORTANT! Don’t Use or Store It Outside

Your Botvac is an indoor device and is not intended for

outdoor use. Use and store it in the house.
