Indicators
Roomba® says, “Error one eight (1-8).”
This error applies to 600, 700, and 800 series robots only. For 900 series robots, please see Error 18, All Roomba® and Braava® Models
Overview
Error 1-8 means Roomba® is sensing that a cliff sensor is activated near the docking area.
Please check the Home Base® environment:
-
Ensure there is no clutter around or near the Home Base®.
If there is a Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barrier, Virtual Wall®, Virtual Wall® Lighthouse™, or another Home Base® located within 8 ft (2.5 m) of the Home Base® while Roomba® is attempting to dock, this may cause an infrared beam interference.
-
If Roomba is not starting on a Home Base®, ensure there are no obstacles in front of the starting position. This will prevent Roomba® from being able to return to the original starting position when the cleaning cycle is complete.
-
The position of the Home Base® is on a hard, level surface against a wall. Roomba® should have a clear path to the Home Base®, and the Home Base® should be at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from any stairs.
-
Ensure there are no foreign objects (e.g., stickers, tape, or paint) on the bumper or on the Home Base®.
If the message persists, perform a robot reboot. If the message persists after the reboot, please contact iRobot Customer Care.
