Lighthouses
Virtual Wall Mode
In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse creates an invisible barrier that
Roomba will not cross.
Use the Range Selector slider bar to adjust the length of the barrier. The
longer the range the faster the battery power will drain.
In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse blocks an area up to eight feet or
longer in three-step increments: 0-3 ft., 4-7 ft., 8+ ft. A small halo prevents
Roomba from bumping into the Lighthouse and a larger cone-shaped
area blocks off areas of your home where you don’t want Roomba to go.
Additional Virtual Wall Lighthouses may be purchased at www.irobot.com.

TIP: Use Virtual Wall Lighthouses in Virtual Wall mode to block doorways or to
keep Roomba out of off-limit areas.
TIP: In Virtual Wall mode, iRobot recommends setting up the Virtual Wall
Lighthouse as shown on page 14.
TIP: Don’t manually move Roomba while it is cleaning. Avoid placing
Lighthouses or Virtual Walls too close to each other, the Home Base or
furniture that could block the beams. Doing so could prevent Roomba
from recognizing the Lighthouses or returning to the Home Base.
