Do not attempt to install or rearrange the robot, beacons, or charging station by yourself. Your robot will mow your lawn on its own once youve either set it to a mowing schedule or manually started it on the mower or iRobot HOME App. Your robot uses the beacons to understand its location in your yard, and to plan its path. Ensure that your beacons do not move, or else your robot will not know where it is and then it will not be able to mow. Your robot will automatically return back to its charging station when a mowing job is complete. The bumper receives a signal to re-navigate when it bumps into larger objects like trees, large rocks, or structures. The bumper may not sense smaller objects, so clear your yard of small obstacles like toys, equipment, or gardening supplies before any scheduled or on-demand mowing jobs. Before you mow Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for acci-

dents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. Your robot is equipped with numerous built-in safety features. However, the robot is a hazardous device with sharp blades, which could cause major injury to anyone who comes in contact with them. Therefore, dont ever use the robot lawn mower when persons are in the cutting area. Before operation, always check the work area and remove any branches, rocks, and other objects from the lawn. Note that the robot is intended for consumer use only; use must be limited to residential areas. TerraTM t7 Robot Mower Owners Guide 6 EN Mowing For best performance and maintenance of your lawn, send your robot to mow at least 3 times per week. To start mowing, first make sure that the Mode Key is in the Auto position. You can start the mowing job in any of the following ways:

1 A. Set up a mowing schedule in the iRobot HOME App. B. Press MOW on the iRobot HOME App. To stop or pause a mowing job, press STOP on the robot or tap MOW on the iRobot HOME App. Mowing jobs can be resumed for up to 90 minutes after pausing, then they will be canceled. Resume a mowing job by pressing START on the robot or via the iRobot HOME App. Send the robot back to its charging station by pressing on the robot or via the iRobot HOME App. MOW Schedule 9:00 AM WEEKDAYS 12:00 PM SATURDAYS MOW 2 Press START on the robot, then close the lid. Schedule Note: If you ever need to pick up your mower, it is recommended that 9:00 AM you carry it with two hands, as show in the illustration below. WEEKDAYS 12:00 PM SATURDAYS Note: A white light ring will spiral around the antenna to let you know when the blades are spinning. 7 For more information, email TerraSupport@irobot.com Warning: Always press the STOP button before lifting or carrying the robot. Warning: Blades are sharp. Use caution whenever touching the robot. EN Charging Slide your robot onto the charging station contacts to charge the battery. Tips for Best Performance Set up an automatic mowing schedule using the iRobot HOME App. For optimal performance, schedule your mower to run at least 3 times per week. Adjust the grass-cut height, child lock, and anti-theft alarm preferences in the iRobot HOME App. Keep your charging station plugged in and the area around it clear of obstacles. Keep the beacons and charging station in the locations set by the iRobot authorized installer. If you need to change them for some reason, please email TerraSupport@irobot.com. For the best possible result, its recommended to run your robot lawn mower primarily in dry weather. The robot lawn mower is also able to run in rain; however, wet grass will be more likely to stick to the mower, which could create a greater risk of the mower slipping on steep slopes. The robot light ring will pulse to let you know its charging. The charging status can be viewed on the iRobot HOME App or on the battery icon under the lid on your robot. Your robot uses a small amount of power whenever its on its charging station. For long term storage, turn off your robot by turning the Mode Key to the Off position and then removing the robot from its charging station. Store your robot in a cool, dry place. TerraTM t7 Robot Mower Owners Guide 8 EN Customer Care If you have questions or comments about your TerraTM t7 robot mower or require any customer support, please email TerraSupport@irobot.com.
