![]() ![]() What Happens If You Move Roomba Home Base?īecause your Roomba is smart and well developed, several things happen when you move its base, to ensure it registers the new location and docks without issues. You don’t only have to ensure there’s enough space around the base, but the home base also has to be properly placed for the Roomba to dock successfully. If you do this, your Roomba will be confused and won’t be able to find its base to dock.ģ- The Roomba base should be against a wall. Also, ensure the home base isn’t close to a staircase or drop-off points.Ģ- The Roomba base should not be moved while it is cleaning. Your Roomba can find a hard time docking without this. You only have to keep a few things in mind:ġ- The basic space rules for setting up the home base must be followed. Your Roomba base location is mapped into the robot to ensure it finds its way back and recharges itself to continue cleaning or retire after cleaning, but nothing says your Roomba can’t find its way back to this base even after it has been moved. We’re going to be answering this and other popular questions about Roombas in this article. It is also important that your Roomba knows the location of its home base so it can return to it easily.īut, what if you need to move the home base after the Roomba has mapped out the entire floor and stored the location of the home base? Do you need to remap the floor, and train the Roomba to recognize its home base all over again? This is particularly important if you have auto-hiding enabled or else you may wind up with some needless tech support experiences, as a colleague or family member declares the Mac OS X Dock has vanished from the Mac because they can’t find it (yes, I’m speaking from experience here).We know how important our Roomba base is as your Roomba cannot dock or recharge without it. ![]() ![]() If you have a Mac that has multiple users accessing the same user account, it’s probably a good idea to keep the Dock at the bottom of the screen so that it will be in the familiar spot for everyone who uses the Mac. Letting go of the Dock will keep it in the new location unless it has been move again either through the shift+drag or System Preference adjustment. Hold down the SHIFT key and grab the Dock’s handle bar, which separates the app icons from the folder icons and Trash, then drag the Dock to the Left, Right, or Bottom of the screen to relocate it to that position.If you need to frequently move the Mac Dock location around the screen for some reason, using this key press method is probably the better option because it’s so fast: Move the Dock with a Key Modifier & Drag to New Location on Mac Screen The effect is demonstrated well in the accompanying screen shots, and if you prefer to have the Dock on the left or right side of the screen you’ll find that minimizing windows into their Dock app icons is a good setting to enable because it reduces Dock clutter and stops the icons from shrinking too small. This is because there is usually more available screen space horizontally than vertically on most Mac setups, unless the display orientation has been rotated. Something important to keep in mind is that the Dock icon sizes will generally be larger when the Dock is shown on the bottom of the screen rather than the left or right sides. The locations are fairly self explanatory, but you may wish to experiment with each of them yourself to get a better idea of how moving the Dock impacts general use. Look for “Position on Screen” and select either “Left”, “Bottom”, or “Right”.Open System Preferences from the Apple menu, then choose the “Dock” panel.Relocate the Dock to the Left or Right on Mac with System Preferences ![]()
