Home Base®

Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the Home Base in order to return.

Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When Roomba is on the Home Base, the Power and Docked lights will be green to indicate Roomba is charging.

Home Base Location

You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an area where Roomba has a clear path to return to the dock at the end of a cleaning cycle. If Roomba is unable to dock on its first attempt, it will try again until it successfully docks.
