Hi Jerome, (I think I spelled your name wrong, sorry)
So far, the only thing I have found I needed help with was turning on wifi
on the machine itself. I had to get my partner to use the onboard touch screen
to do this. It took him about 20 seconds to do it, but, surely, 'tis a pity
that we can't do it ourselves.
In case you haven't done this: someone who can see it must select 'settings' on
the touch screen. Then select "wifi" and then turn it on and, finally, back out
to the home screen. Then you just follow the prompts to set it up, using the
app, with your router. I did make a mess of entering my router's password (too
much wine on a Friday night!!) So, when I went to settings on the phone, it
couldn't find the Neato device. I had to troubleshoot online, by the way, there
is a whole load of help sites with troubleshooting and tips and tricks, out
there. I discovered that if, with the straight edge toward you, you push the
right hand side of the bumper, gently, in toward the machine while holding the
"home/clean" button down for 15 seconds, it resets the wifi and you can start
again. When I did this, my phone fould see the Neato again and all went well
from then on.
Let me know if this is not helpful and I will find you some links that
explain it better!
Good luck, Sandy.
