TIP: Check that there is a direct line of sight from the Remote Control to

Roomba and that the remote is pointed at Roomba.

The Remote Control, Virtual Walls and Home Base operate using an invisible

infrared beam. If they are all used in the same area, Roomba may see
multiple infrared signals and will not operate. The Remote WILL NOT work
when Roomba is near Virtual Walls.

Before using your remote for the first time, install 2 AA batteries (not
included).
