Possible Causes
Dock placed in tight or cluttered area, Dock IR signal blocked, Weak battery preventing return, Faulty docking sensor on robot
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the dock is plugged in and powered.
- Reposition dock: Place the dock against a wall with at least 3 feet (1 m) of clear space in front and 1.5 feet (0.5 m) on each side.
- Remove obstacles: Clear objects that may block the robot's line of sight to the dock.
- Clean sensors: Wipe the robot's front sensors and the dock's IR window with a dry cloth.
If the robot still fails to dock despite good placement, the docking sensor or navigation system may need service.
