The Dual Mode Virtual Wall Barrier
(accessory compatible with all models)
The Dual Mode Virtual Wall barrier keeps
Roomba in the places you want to be
cleaned — and out of the ones you don't.
In between cleaning cycles, you can leave
the device operating in its position on the
floor. You can set your device to one of two
modes to fit your home's cleaning needs:
Note: Under normal use, batteries will last 8-10 months. If you are not
planning on using your Virtual Wall device for an extended period of time
and you would like to store it, be sure to switch it to the "Off " (middle) position.
Virtual Wall Mode: When the switch is
in the "up" position ( ), the device
functions as a Virtual Wall. This means
that you can set it to block openings of
up to 10 feet (3 metres). It creates an
invisible, cone-shaped barrier that only
Roomba can see.
Note: This barrier gets wider as it gets
further from the device (refer to illustration).
Halo Mode: When the switch is in the
"down" position ( ), the device creates
a protective zone that Roomba will
not enter. This prevents Roomba from
bumping into items you want to protect
(e.g. a dog bowl or vase) or crossing into
undesired areas (e.g. a corner or under
a desk). The Halo is invisible and reaches
approximately 24 inches (60 centimetres)
from the centre of the device.
The Virtual Wall Lighthouse
(accessory compatible with select models)
The Virtual Wall Lighthouse can act as both a
Lighthouse and a Virtual Wall. Simply use the Mode
Selector to make your choice. The device turns on
and off automatically as you turn Roomba on and off.
When on, the light on top is lit. A slowly blinking power
light means the batteries need replacing soon:
Virtual Wall Mode: When the switch is in the "Virtual Wall" position, the
device functions as a Virtual Wall. This means that you can set it to block
openings of up to 8 feet (2.4 metres). It creates an invisible, cone-
shaped barrier that only Roomba can see.
Note: This barrier gets wider
as it gets further from the device
(refer to illustration).
Lighthouse Mode: When switch
is in "Lighthouse" mode, the device
allows Roomba to efficiently clean
multiple rooms before returning
to Home Base. Place a Lighthouse
in the doorway with logo facing
forward, when Roomba has
completed the first room, the
Lighthouse will help it navigate to
the next.
You can use Lighthouse devices and
Virtual Wall barriers at the same
time. However, please avoid placing
them too close to each other, to
the Home Base, or to furniture that
could block the invisible beams.
