Roomba Accessories

Virtual Wall

Virtual Walls create a keyhole–shaped area that iRobot Roomba will not enter.Virtual Walls

are great for keeping Roomba in one room, or away from cords and other spots you don't

want Roomba to clean.
You can program Virtual Wall Schedulers to turn on at the same time as Roomba.

See page 13 for details.
Virtual Walls will automatically shut off after approximately 100 minutes in scheduled mode and

130 minutes in standard mode.
You can set Virtual Walls to cover areas up to 13 feet wide.

Virtual Walls create an infrared signal similar to

that of the Home Base and iRobot Roomba

Remote. DO NOT set up Virtual Walls near the

Home Base or iRobot Roomba will be confused

by multiple IR signals and not dock.

iRobot Scheduler,Virtual Walls, and Home Base all operate using invisible infra red beams. If used in the same

area, Roomba may see multiple infra red signals and not respond to commands. Make sure all Virtual Walls are

off when using iRobot Scheduler, and that Roomba is 8 feet away from the Home Base OR that Roomba is

completely on the Home Base and both LEDs are on.

You can use Scheduler as a remote to turn Roomba on, activate

a clean mode, or drive Roomba to a specific location.
To use Scheduler as a remote, you need to point it directly at

Roomba with the cover closed.

front of the Home Base with the remote. Roomba will see the

Home Base and return automatically.You can also tell Roomba

to look for the Home Base by pressing Spot and Clean simulta-

neously.
