12 iRobot Dirt Dog Owner’s Manual
Home Base
™
(optional accessory)
Dirt Dog returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its
battery is running low. Dirt Dog needs to find the infrared signal of the Home
Base in order to return.
Always keep the Home Base plugged in. When Dirt Dog is on the Home Base,
the Power and Docked lights will be green to indicate Dirt Dog is charging.
Home Base Location
You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an area
where Dirt Dog has a clear path to return to the dock at the end of a cleaning
cycle. If Dirt Dog is unable to dock on its first attempt, it will try again until it
successfully docks.
To manually dock Dirt Dog, place it within five feet of the Home Base and
press Spot and Clean simultaneously. You can also drive Dirt Dog toward the
Home Base with the remote control, and Dirt Dog will dock automatically.
The Dirt Dog Remote, Virtual Wall, and Home Base operate using an
invisible infrared technology. If they are all used in the same area, Dirt Dog
may see multiple infrared signals and not operate. Dirt Dog WILL NOT dock
if you have a Virtual Wall near the Home Base. Fluorescent lights also can
impact Virtual Wall and Home Base performance.
