10 iRobot Roomba Owner’s Manual
Virtual Wall
(optional accessory)
Virtual Walls create an invisible barrier that Roomba will not cross. This invisible barrier
can be used to confine Roomba to a particular room or area, and prevent it from
getting too close to electrical or computer cords, delicate objects on the floor, etc.
The Virtual Walls can be set to block an
opening up to seven feet long. Note that
the width of the Virtual Wall’s beam also
increases as its length increases, creating
a cone-shaped area which Roomba cannot
pass. The Virtual Wall also creates a halo
of protection around itself, preventing
Roomba from getting too close.
Manual Virtual Wall (selected models)
A Manual Virtual Wall must be turned on by
hand at the beginning of the cleaning cycle to
activate the barrier. A Manual Virtual Wall (and
its power light) will shut off after 135 minutes.
Auto Virtual Wall (selected models)
When an Auto Virtual Wall is set to “Auto”
mode, the power light blinks repeatedly to
indicate it is on. When battery levels are low, the
Virtual Wall blinks repeatedly twice to indicate
that it needs new batteries. To save battery
power, the Auto Virtual Wall can be switched
to “Off”. When in “Auto” mode, the batteries
should last approximately six months.
TIP: Point the arrows on top of the Virtual Wall towards the opening you
would like to block.
TIP: For best performance, place the Virtual Wall on the outside of the
doorway you wish to block.
