Compact Manual Virtual Wall
A Manual Virtual Wall must be turned on
by hand at the beginning of the cleaning
cycle to activate the barrier. A Manual
Virtual Wall and its power light will shut
off after 135 minutes. When battery
levels are low, the Virtual Wall power light will
blink slowly to indicate that it needs new batteries.
TIP: Point the arrows on top of the Virtual Wall towards the opening you would
like to block.
Compact Auto Virtual Wall
When an Auto Virtual Wall is set to "Auto"
mode, the power light blinks repeatedly
to indicate it is on. When battery levels
are low, the Virtual Wall blinks repeatedly
twice to indicate that it needs new batteries.
To save battery power, switch the Auto
Virtual Wall to "Off." When in "Auto" mode, the
batteries should last approximately six months.
TIP: Point the arrows on top of the Virtual Wall towards the opening you would
like to block.
Compact Virtual Wall Battery Installation
To open the battery compartment, simply apply pressure on both iRobot
logos located on either side of the Virtual Wall and pull the bottom out,
separating the pieces.

Virtual Wall Lighthouses
(optional accessory for selected models)
Virtual Wall Lighthouses turn on and off automatically as Roomba is
turned on and off. When they are on, a light illuminates on the top of the
Virtual Wall Lighthouse. A Virtual Wall Lighthouse can be used in two
modes, either in Lighthouse mode or Virtual Wall mode, set by the Mode
Selector.

Lighthouse Mode
In Lighthouse mode, the Virtual Wall Lighthouse helps Roomba navigate
around your home and allows Roomba to clean room-to-room. Roomba
will clean the room it starts in, navigate to the next room, and then clean
the second room. When Roomba has completed cleaning, it will use the
Lighthouse to navigate back to the Home Base for recharging.

minutes each, and then

TIP: When in Lighthouse mode, do not manually move Roomba from room to
room while it is cleaning.
