Severity: Warning — robot won't start this close to a BotBoundary magnetic strip IQEZAI

Error 14 is a BotBoundary error — the robot is sitting on or next to the magnetic boundary strip used to fence off areas. Move it to a flat surface away from the strip and restart.

COMMON CAUSES · RANKED
1
Robot started on top of the strip MOST COMMON
Starting a clean while parked on the BotBoundary strip blocks the robot immediately — the manual's fix is simply to move it away.
2
Strip laid where the robot must pass
A strip across the only route into a room strands the robot against it on every mission — reroute the strip.
3
Another magnet source nearby RARE
Strong speaker or door-stop magnets against the chassis can read like a boundary strip.
HOW TO FIX IT
No battery or electrical work involved in this fix.
Move the robot off the strip
Set it down on flat floor at least half a metre from any BotBoundary strip.
Restart the clean
Press CLEAN again from the new position.
Reroute the strip if it repeats
Lay the strip so the robot meets it side-on during cleaning and never has to start a mission on top of it.
