Possible Causes
Dock placed in poor location, Dock IR signal blocked, Map data inconsistent with current furniture layout, Weak battery causing early shutdown
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the dock is placed where the robot has a clear path.
- 1. Reposition dock: Move the dock to a central, open area with clear space around it. Avoid placing it behind doors or furniture.
- 2. Clear path: Remove obstacles between typical cleaning areas and the dock, such as cords or low furniture.
- 3. Remap home: Delete the existing map and perform a full cleaning run so the robot can learn the new dock location.
- 4. Check battery health: If the robot often dies before reaching the dock, test and replace the battery if runtime is low.
