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.
Send Roomba to the Home Base by directin Roomba in the
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.

the button.To rotate Roomba, use the buttons.
