The Dual Mode Virtual Wall Barrier - iRobot Roomba 960 Vacuum User Manual

THE DUAL MODE VIRTUAL WALL BARRIER

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. (See Figure 1)
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. It
creates an invisible, cone-shaped barrier that only
Roomba can see. (See Figure 2)
NOTE: This barrier gets wider as it gets further
from the device. (See Figure 2)

Halo Mode
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 from the center of the device. (See Figure 3)
