Incorrect activity maps
If the robot has trouble detecting its location in a room, the activity map may differ from the mapped area.
This can be caused by a combination of the robot becoming lost, a change in ambient lighting, the sensors needing to be cleaned or the room not being prepared correctly. Each of which will need to be checked.
This can also occur when the dock is moved or rotated. We advise remapping your floorspace if the dock needs to be moved.

If the environment has changed significantly, if furniture has been moved or inner doors closed for example, the peristent map may not appear in your robot's activity map. If the environment has changed and your activity maps frequently show without your persistent map, we would recommend remapping your home.
Ambient lighting
Your robot will compensate for low light by using its LEDs to selectively illuminate dark areas. It is not designed to operate in complete darkness.
Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.
It is normal for the LEDs to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

Cleaning the sensors
To maintain optimum performance, keep your camera lens and sensors clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the sensors and camera lens.

Preparing your home
Remove thin rugs or loose objects that your robot may suck up. Tidy small items such as shoe laces or thin cables that your robot won't detect and may get tangled in the brush bar.
Clean any liquid spills or sharp items that could damage your robot.

Dock placement
Your dock should be located against a wall, in a place close to a mains power supply, out of bright sunlight and not obscured under a table or other furniture. It needs at least 50cm of clear space around the front.
You should choose a location close to your Wi-Fi access point to avoid connection issues.
We recommend a location close to the centre of your home, as this can lead to more reliable cleans.

Accessing Mapping and Zoning
Mapping, zoning and restriction features can be found by selecting the settings icon.
Creating a map of your home with the MyDyson™ app lets your robot learn the layout. This gives you more control over where and how your robot cleans areas of your home.
Please select the appropriate option
Reference code:
Mapping your home
To get the most out of your Dyson robot, we recommend letting it map your home's floorspace.
Preparing your home
Before mapping, it's a good idea to tidy up any loose objects from the floor, open internal doors and remove any items that may be moved between cleans. Place your robot on the dock and you can start mapping.
Building a complete map can take time, and depends on the size of your home (100 sq m may take approximately 90 minutes). During the mapping process, leave your robot to create your map. It will return to the dock by itself when mapping is complete.
Ensure that there is a clear path for your robot to navigate, so that it can map your whole home.
Clean any liquid spills or sharp items that could damage your robot.
Create a map
In the Mapping and Zoning menu, create a new map. Follow the prompts on the screen to start the mapping process.
Your robot follows an optimised route to systematically clean your home, with the brush bar and suction turned off to minimise the time taken to map. For best results, avoid interrupting your robot while it's mapping.
Your robot needs a complete and accurate map of your home, so if there are any problems during mapping, it's better to start again.
Multiple floors
If your home has more than one level, you can create a map for each storey or level of your home.
You'll need to move your robot's dock to each floor and start the mapping process from the dock.
To start a clean from the dock on a mapped floor of your home, the dock must be in the same location as it was when the map was created.
You can purchase additional docks to avoid having to move your robot's dock between floors. Each floor should only have one dock.
What next?
After your home has been successfully mapped, you'll be able to assign zones to your map for directed cleaning. You'll also be able to create restrictions that your robot will follow when cleaning.
Did you find this helpful?
Reference code:
Creating restrictions
If you have mapped your home you'll be able to create restrictions, leading to more reliable cleans from your robot. You can create these in the Mapping and Zoning menu.
There are three different types of restrictions you can create to suit your home.
Avoid areas
You can select areas on your map for your robot to avoid. This can be used in areas with cables, clothing or toys, where your robot might get stuck. You can also avoid entire rooms, such as the bathroom.
Ensure that any avoid areas you create do not block off access to areas you want your robot to clean.
No brush bar
In a "No brush bar" area, your robot will vacuum with the brush bar turned off. This is useful where there are delicate floors or long-pile rugs.
If your robot's brush bar regularly gets caught in the same area, we would advise creating this type of restriction.
No climb
In a "No climb" area, your robot will avoid climbing in areas where obstacles may cause it to get stuck, such as furniture with pedestals or low level items.
If your robot repeatedly gets caught on inclines or small objects, we would recommend creating this type of restriction.
Reference code:
Zoning your home
After your robot has finished mapping you'll be prompted to create zones for your new map.
If your map was left unzoned or if you would like to recreate your zones, you can do so in the Mapping and Zoning menu.
Splitting your map
The MyDyson™ app will prompt you to split your map into zones using lines.
You can split the map up as you like, but we recommend dragging the lines onto doorways and other thresholds between rooms. Lines can't be set where they would intersect other lines.
Naming your zones
After splitting the map, you can assign names to the individual zones. You can choose from a list of common room names or set a custom name.
What next?
Once your map has been zoned, you can assign a cleaning mode to each zone and direct your robot to clean specific zones.

Relocating the dock
If your robot encounters this issue often, the location of your dock may need to be reconsidered. We recommend that you also remap your home after relocating the dock.
Check the dock
Ensure your dock is placed on a level surface that extends at least 50cm around it.
Your dock should be located against a wall, in a place close to a mains power supply, out of bright sunlight and not obscured under a table or other furniture. It needs at least 50cm of clear space around the front.
You should choose a location close to your Wi-Fi access point to avoid connection issues.
We recommend a location close to the centre of your home, as this can lead to more reliable cleans.
Ensure the dock is on a level surface and aligned with the wall. Do not place the dock against glass.

For future cleans, ensure there is a clear path back to the dock from all areas of your home or selected zones.

Clean the contacts
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe both metal contacts on the front of the robot and on the dock.

Charging mid-clean
If a clean is started on the dock, the robot will be able to return mid-clean if it needs to recharge.
Depending on the power mode used and the size of the cleaning area, your robot may return to the dock several times to recharge before finishing the clean.

Your robot takes 90 minutes to fully charge but can take longer if the charge contacts have overheated. For safety reasons, your robot will not charge if the charge contacts exceed normal operating temperatures.
Your robot is designed to operate in an ambient temperature between 5°C and 35°C.
To avoid long charge times, we advise setting up your dock in an area away from direct sunlight and regularly cleaning the charge contacts.

Cleaning the contacts
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe both metal contacts on the front of the robot and on the dock.
Do not use cleaning fluids, liquids or sprays of any kind.

Reference code:
Hot to touch
Your robot has a built in safety system that stops the machine if it begins to overheat. This usually happens because the filters need washing or your machine is blocked.
If your machine continues to overheat, please refrain from using it until it has cooled down sufficiently and then carry out the performance checks.
Reference code:
Check the LCD screen
Check the LCD screen on top of your robot.

Reference code:
Low battery
If your robot encounters a problem during the clean and is unable to continue it will display an alert.
If your robot does not display any alert, it is likely that your robot was unable to return to dock to recharge and has shut down when its battery became low.

Ambient lighting
Your robot will compensate for low light by using its LEDs to selectively illuminate dark areas. It is not designed to operate in complete darkness.
Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.
It is normal for the LEDs to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

Cleaning the sensors
To maintain optimum performance, keep your camera lens and sensors clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the lens.
Check all sensor covers and the navigational camera for dirt, dust, fingerprints and smears.
Do not use cleaning fluids, liquids or sprays of any kind.

Turn your robot over and place it on a soft surface.
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the optical flow sensor and each drop sensor on the base of your robot. There are seven sensors in total.

Preparing your home
Remove thin rugs or loose objects that your robot may suck up. Tidy small items such as shoe laces or thin cables that your robot won't detect and may get tangled in the brush bar.
Clean any liquid spills or sharp items that could damage your robot.

Dock placement
Your dock should be located against a wall, in a place close to a mains power supply, out of bright sunlight and not obscured under a table or other furniture. It needs at least 50cm of clear space around the front.
You should choose a location close to your Wi-Fi access point to avoid connection issues.
We recommend a location close to the centre of your home, as this can lead to more reliable cleans.

Place your robot away from the drop and somewhere that it has cleaned before, then try to resume the clean by pressing the LCD screen.

Reference code:
Charging mid-clean
If a clean is started on the dock, the robot will be able to return mid-clean if it needs to recharge.
Depending on the power mode used and the size of the cleaning area, your robot may return to the dock several times to recharge before finishing the clean.

Boost mode
Selecting Boost mode will result in deeper cleans but with less run time for your robot. If you find your robot is recharging mid-clean too often, we advise using Auto mode as it automatically optimises suction power throughout the clean.
Before starting a clean, you can set cleaning modes for each of your zones to customise your clean or set a cleaning mode for all areas.
Reference code:
Dust detection
If your robot is recharging too often mid-clean, there may be dust or debris stuck in the airways.
Your robot has a piezo sensor that detects changes in dust levels, allowing your robot to optimise suction power when using Auto mode. Blockages in your robot's airways can cause the robot to detect high levels of dust and increase suction power, resulting in lower run time.
Check the airway
Debris caught in the brush bar or the machine's airways could interfere with the piezo sensor readings.
If your robot is detecting abnormally high volumes of dust, we would suggest carrying out the following checks.
Removing a blockage
Press the cyclone pack release button on the top of your robot and lift your bin away. Use the handle to carry your bin.

Check the cyclone unit and inlet for any obstructions. Empty the bin if it is full.

Please note that cleans scheduled in the MyDyson™ app can only start from the dock.

Starting a clean off the dock
For when you want to clean a specific area, do a quick clean or clean rooms on different floors.
If you pick your robot up and place it where you want it to clean, it will stop when it detects that charge is low and return to its starting position.

What type of clean?
Reference code:
Low battery
If you start a clean from the LCD touchscreen when there isn't enough charge, an alert will appear on the screen.
Return your robot to the dock and allow it to recharge for at least 30 minutes.

Check lighting
Your robot may struggle to balance its camera exposure if it is placed in direct sunlight or in a bright, white location at the start of the clean. If this problem occurs, try an alternative start location out of direct sunlight.
Your robot will compensate for low light by using its LEDs to selectively illuminate dark areas. It is not designed to operate in complete darkness.
Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.

Reference code:
Check the dock
In order for the robot to start a scheduled clean or an unscheduled clean from the MyDyson™ app, the robot must be on a powered dock.
Make sure your dock is powered by removing the robot and checking the light on the back.

Make sure your robot has adequate illumination to navigate by for the duration of the clean.
It is normal for the LEDs to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

If the robot is still not navigating successfully in darker areas, this could be caused by uneven lighting transitions. Closing curtains and blinds can help to avoid uneven lighting.

Reference code:
Robot is navigating
Your robot will switch off its vacuum motor and brush bar occasionally during the clean.
If you have created any "No brush bar" restrictions in theMyDyson™ app, your robot will switch off the brush bar when navigating through these areas.
Your robot will also switch off the vacuum motor and brush bar when navigating through areas it has already cleaned or when it returns to the dock.

Reference code:
Robot is navigating
The timer on your robot's LCD touchscreen will continue counting throughout the clean unless the robot is paused or encounters a problem.
If the timer is still counting and your robot has stopped, we recommend leaving it to continue cleaning.
Your robot tracks features using its camera to determine its location.
Your robot may come to a short halt occasionally during the clean to detect its position in the room.

Reference code:
Getting lost
When your robot loses sight of features, it can keep track of its motion for short periods using its wheels and an accelerometer.
Try to make sure that access to new areas does not require the robot to spend long periods under low furniture or in featureless areas, such as long corridors.

Restricting areas of your home
If your robot gets stuck in the same place regularly, you can use the MyDyson™ app to add a suitable restriction for that area.
There are three different types of restrictions you can create to suit your home.

Avoid areas
You can select areas on your map for your robot to avoid. This can be used in areas with cables, clothing or toys, where your robot might get stuck. You can also avoid entire rooms, such as the bathroom.
No brush bar
Your robot will vacuum in this area with the brush bar turned off.
No climb
Your robot will avoid climbing in this area where there may be furniture with pedestals or low level items.
Reference code:
Common checks
If your robot gets lost or stuck in the same area repeatedly, ensure there is adequate lighting throughout, the robot's sensors are clean and that the room is prepared before the start of the clean.
The location of the dock may also need to be reconsidered.

We recommend a location close to the centre of your home, as this can lead to more reliable cleans.

Reference code:
Object detection
Your robot has infra-red distance sensors to detect obstacles and avoid them.
The sensors and camera are best suited to avoiding large obstacles, such as walls and large furniture. Thin obstacles such as chair or table legs are occasionally not detected. Shiny, dark or clear surfaces such as metallic bins, chrome chair legs, mirrors, glass and windows can also fail to be detected.

In each case the robot relies on a sensitive bump detection system that avoids damage to your belongings when the robot does make contact with them.
While this is a normal behaviour, you can reduce how often the robot bumps into furniture by ensuring the sensors are kept clean and by preparing the room.

What is intelligent dust predictions?
The Robot will prioritise the order of the zones cleaned based on the dust build up in each zone.
My dust prediction does not align with my understanding
The prediction will improve with further cleaning sessions. You can still clean whichever zone you prefer.
My dust prediction does not align with my clean map
This is normal. The clean map is based on the last clean, dust prediction reflects the current dust level.
I only have a few or no dust predictions
Dust predictions become available when there is enough data. Performing more cleaning sessions will increase the data available. There are some instances where no prediction will be available such as if the area is very small or is not cleaned very often.
My Robot does not clean in order of predictions
Your robot will clean all the zones selected but may not clean the highest dust area first depending on the most efficient route it can take.
My dust predictions change
This is normal. The prediction is based on the dust level from previous cleans so will increase over time.
