iRobot Roomba 700 series Owner's Manual page 3

Cleaning Modes and Pattern
Roomba uses iAdapt ™ Responsive Cleaning Technology, an advanced, proprietary
system of software and sensors. iAdapt allows Roomba to actively monitor the cleaning
environment more than 60 times per second and respond with over 40 different mobility
behaviors to clean the room more thoroughly.
Roomba 700 Series has 3 cleaning modes you can select:
Clean Mode – Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning
time appropriately.
Spot Mode – Roomba will spiral approximately 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter
and then spiral back to where it started – an intense, localized clean for those
quick fixes.
Scheduled Cleaning Mode – Roomba leaves its Home Base, cleans, and then
returns to recharge when it's done.
Surfaces
Your Roomba works on pretty much anything – wood, carpet, tile, vinyl and linoleum,
adjusting to different floor types. It automatically senses stairs and other drops.
It might stall when confronting round edges and might slide over particularly slippery
surfaces. Very dark floors may impede its sensors. Roomba is not designed for
use outdoors.
Anti-tangle system
Roomba won't get caught up in tassels or fringes. If it senses a tangle, it
automatically stops its brushes and spins them in reverse to free itself.
Home Base
4 feet (1.5 meters) from any stairs and that your Roomba has a clear path to reach it.
When Roomba has finished cleaning, it will return to its Home Base to charge.
The light on the Home Base stops blinking and turns solid green when Roomba
makes a good connection. Then, Roomba's battery indicator will pulse amber to
show it is charging, and will turn solid green when Roomba is fully charged and
ready to clean again!
Getting started | Cleaning modes & Virtual Walls
Virtual Wall ® Optional accessory for all models.
Virtual Walls create an invisible barrier that your Roomba won't cross. That makes it easy
to confine it to a particular room or area, and prevent it from getting too close to anything
delicate or dangerous.

on the outside of the doorway you
top towards the opening.
Manual Virtual Wall
It will shut off after 135 minutes. If the power light blinks green, it means you'll
need new batteries soon.
Auto Virtual Wall
to indicate it is on. When battery levels are low, the Virtual Wall continuously blinks
twice to indicate that it needs new batteries. When in AUTO mode, the batteries
should last for around six months. To save on batteries, just switch it to OFF.
Virtual Wall Lighthouse™ Accessory for models 780 and above only.
A Virtual Wall Lighthouse can act as both a Virtual Wall and a Lighthouse.
In Lighthouse mode, it helps your Roomba navigate around your home.
In Virtual Wall mode, it blocks off areas you don't want cleaned.
Simply use the Mode Selector to make your choice. Either way, it turns on and off
automatically as you turn your Roomba on and off. When on, the light on top is lit.
Each Virtual Wall Lighthouse needs two C alkaline batteries (not included). A flashing
power light means the batteries need replacing soon.
