Do you want to restart or reset your robot? A reboot is similar to a normal restart, however, a factory reset returns your robot to its original settings (and wipes out all data). If you wish to restart your robot, read this: Robot Rebooting or Resetting

A factory reset is a function that returns the robot to its original factory settings, frequently correcting unusual robot behaviors, Wi-Fi connectivity difficulties to your home network, or other robot faults.

Backing up Smart Maps in preparation for a Factory Reset

You will have the option to store your personalized Smart Maps for later retrieval before beginning a factory reset. After finishing the factory reset, you will be able to restore your personalized maps to your robot. By preserving your Smart Map, you save the robot’s need to retrain and map your house, as well as the requirement to personalize the map after the factory reset. Make sure the “Save maps during factory reset” toggle on the Factory Reset screen is turned on.

Note:

A factory reset will remove your robot from your account and erase any personal data and settings from your robot, but your Customized Smart Maps will be preserved in your account.
