POWERbot Does Not Charge
Your POWERbot does not have power.
Emergency Switch
Check if the emergency switch is on. If the emergency switch is not on, turn it on.
Battery
First look at the charge indicator to see if the POWERbot needs to be charged. If the POWERbot is not charging, first check to make sure the charging station is firmly plugged into a power source. Confirm that the outlet is receiving power by using it to power another device. Make sure the charging pins on the docking station and the POWERbot are aligned correctly.
If the POWERbot fails to charge after following these steps, you may need to replace the battery.
POWERbot Fails to Return to Charging Station
Your POWERbot is unable to reach docking station.
POWERbot is Immobilized by an Obstacle
If your POWERbot is unable to reach the docking station, make sure the area around the charger is clear of obstacles. If it continues to not reach the docking station then you may need to manually charge the POWERbot. To manually charge, lift up the POWERbot and place it on the docking station. Make sure the charging pins on the docking station and the POWERbot are aligned correctly.
Power Failure
Check if there is a power failure or whether the power plug is securely plugged in. If there is a power failure, test the outlet the docking station is plugged into with another device to ensure the outlet has power. If the power plug is unplugged, plug it in to a known working outlet.
POWERbot Can't Connect to Wi-Fi
Your POWERbot isn't recognizing your Wi-Fi.
If your device is not connecting to the Wi-Fi, check your wireless router's setting status.
Try resetting your wireless network. Locate the power source plug on the Wi-Fi router and unplug it. Wait at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in. After resetting the router, try to reconnect your POWERbot to the Wi-Fi.
If the device still does not connect to the Wi-Fi, you may need to replace your POWERbot's wireless antennae.

POWERbot's Suction is Weak
Your POWERbot is not properly vacuuming the areas it covers.
Increasing Noise
If the noise of your POWERbot significantly increases, turn off the emergency switch, and then empty the dustbin.
Filter Inspection Indicator
If the "Filter inspection indicator" is on, turn off the emergency switch, and clean the dustbin. When there is too much dust in the dustbin, suction power becomes weakened. Turn off the emergency switch and empty dustbin.
Intake Blocked
If the intake (bottom of the POWERbot) is blocked by a foreign object, turn off the emergency switch, and then remove the foreign object from the intake.

This network issue is stupid. I have 73 devices online in my smarthome. I cant just go reset everything and my router. I should have done my homework on the powerbot r7070 better. If id known they cant handle networks properly then i would never have bought it. I am very disappointed.

Same issue here! Super upset. It wont work on any of my network and rolls right over that “magnetic tape” barrier. Not to mention there are VERY few results for any troubleshooting searches on this thing…

I recently got my r7070 about a week ago. I set it to go clean when i heard something caught in the dust bin (piece of dog food). I emptied it out and unclogged some hair in the front. When i had it resume cleaning the vacuum only moved around with no suction. I tried going from the three power levels but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas what happened? It was working until i emptied the dust bin.
