The buttons on your robot allow you to use it manually. For the best performance, Neato recommends you use the smart MyNeato app to control your robot.
Manually control your robot
To start a clean, confirm that the Play LED is white. You can initiate cleaning by pressing the Play button once. Your Neato robot will clean the entire floor on one level automatically moving from room to room.
If you just want to clean one room, simply close the door after starting your robot. Your Neato will clean the room and return to where you originally placed it. When your Neato has finished cleaning, please put it back on its charge base.
