Virtual Wall Lighthouses
Virtual Wall Mode
In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse creates an invisible barrier that
Roomba will not cross.
Use the slider bar to adjust the length of the barrier. A longer range will drain
the battery faster.
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.
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 behind the door jamb as shown on pg. 12.
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.
