- Hi, I'm Agent Bennett,
and today, I'll show you how to set up a robot mop
like the iRobot Braava jet.
Here's what you'll need.
The robot mop along with the included accessories,
a smartphone, the robot mop app already installed,
and your network login info.
I'll be using a Google Pixel 4 and the Braava jet m6,
so the steps might be a little different
depending on your devices.
All right, let's get started.
Locate a good wall for your mop to live on.
It needs 18 inches of free space on each side
and four feet in front of it
so it can get in and out easily.
When you found a good spot,
connect the power cord to the base station
and wrap the excess wire so you don't trip on it.
Plug in the power cord
and then connect the drip tray to the base station
and set the Braava jet on the base to charge.
It should charge for about three hours
before you use it for the first time.
But while it's charging, you can continue the setup process.
Open the iRobot Home App.
Select your country.
And tap continue.
Tap accept on the terms and policies.
Tap login and enter your username and password
for your iRobot account.
If you don't have an account yet, tap sign up instead.
Oh, and make sure your password is a strong one.
If you want a few pointers,
we have a separate tech tips video
on how to create a strong password.
There's a link in the notes below.
Once you're logged in, on the add a robot screen,
choose Braava jet.
Next, I'll select Braava jet m series and tap get started.
On the location services permission screen,
tap go to settings,
permissions,
location, and select allow all the time.
Then head back to the main screen.
On the charging station placement screen, tap continue.
Type in a name for your new robot mop.
I'll call mine Rosie.
Tap the check mark and tap continue.
On the connect to wifi screen,
make sure your wireless network is displayed
and tap yes, continue.
Enter your wifi information,
tap the check mark, and tap continue.
Press and hold the spot and home buttons
on your robot at the same time
for two seconds and then release them.

You should hear a sound.
On the app, tap I pressed the buttons and then tap continue.
Now I'll tap on the Braava jet m6.
It'll take a minute for the app to connect
your robot to your network.
When it's successful, you'll hear your robot tell you
it's ready to get to work and see some information
and instructions for your new robot.
- Your robot is fully set up and ready to go.
Press clean to get to work.
- Tap next through the screens
to learn more about your new robot.
Now the Braava will check for updates
and install them if needed.
This should only take a few minutes.
When the Braava's ring is solid white,
it's fully charged and ready to do its first cleaning.
Attach a dry sweeping pad
and place it back on the base.
Also, your robot needs at least some light
to see the landmarks that help it navigate.
So, open your window shades or turn your lights on
while your robot is running.
When you're ready, tap new job,
then save as favorite.
Type in a name,
select a color, and tap create favorite.
After a couple of cleaning runs, your home will be mapped
and you can set things up under maps,
such as rooms and boundary lines.
Tap the lab under favorites to start.
Afterwards, you can see the map in your app.
Let me show you how.
Open the app and tap map,
and then new map.
Then select start customizing.
You can name the map here.
Just select main floor and tap next.
Now, you'll see a short video on how to set up rooms.
When you're ready, tap got it.
You can also rotate the map,
zoom in and out,
adjust the dividers,
and even add more dividers
to help personalize how your robot cleans.
Tap each room to give it a name,
then tap done to finish the setup.
Your robot can clean a single room or multiple rooms.
Tap new job and select a room or two to see how it works.
When you're finished, simply close it.
You can also create a schedule to clean your floors
so you don't have to start the robot manually
or through the app.
Just tap create a schedule.
Here, you can select the time,
days, and locations to clean.
Then tap schedule to finish,
save it as a favorite,
and you can even give this schedule a name and a color.
There are a few other settings you might want to check out.
In robot settings, tap locate Braava jet.
This will help you locate your robot if it gets lost.
In robot settings, you can also update
your wireless settings, language, and privacy.
You can also factory reset the mop if you ever have to.
Otherwise, you're all set to enjoy a cleaner home
with a lot less work.
