Charging Contacts

Check if there has been any buildup of debris or dirt on the charging contacts of the Home Base® and the robot. Unplug the base and wait 60 seconds. Then use a clean lightly dampened melamine foam, such as a Magic Eraser, to remove debris from the charging contacts. The contacts should have a visible shine.
