ROOMBA BATTERY INDICATOR HOW TO
The below video will give you an idea on how to charge and store the battery of older versions of Roomba like the 700 series and the 800 series. If the power indicator is colored red, then it means that the unit’s battery is drained and needs to be charged. If it is pulsing amber, then the unit is still charging. If the color of the power indicator is green, then the robot vacuum is fully charged. One is to press the CLEAN button on the unit once. Of course, there are a couple of ways to determine if the battery is being charged. However, it will go out after a minute or so precisely to conserve energy.
The Roomba’s charging indicator will light up immediately after it is docked on the Home Base. In the case of the Home Base, the power indicator will only turn on for around 4 seconds after the robot had docked. This is because both the Roomba and the Home Base need to conserve energy during charging. Here’s something you should know-it is normal for Roomba units that charge through Home Base to have its light indicator off. You can tell that the Roomba is charging if the charger has a solid green power indicator on when it is plugged into a wall outlet.īut how about the Roomba model that is being charged through a Home Base? The key to this is recharging the battery after every cleaning cycle.
Ensure there are no Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barriers or other Home Bases located within 8 ft (2.5 m) of the Home Base. This is normal behavior, designed to conserve energy. Verify that the power indicator on the Home Base starts blinking approximately once every 4 seconds or illuminates solid for approximately 4 seconds and then goes out. To resolve this, unplug the line cord from the Home Base and then plug it back in to ensure that it is fully inserted with a tight fit. If Roomba is picked up and moved during a cleaning job, it will not be able to find the Home Base when the “DOCK” button is pressed, unless it is placed facing the Home Base within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the Home Base.
