Using Your Roomba
Tips for Optimising Performance
• Store Roomba on the Home Base so it’s always charged
and ready to clean when you need it.
• Remove excess clutter from the floors before cleaning (e.g.
clothing, toys, etc.), and use a Virtual Wall® device (optional
accessory) to keep Roomba cleaning where you
want it and out of the areas you don’t.
• Empty the bin, clean the filter, and charge the battery after
each use.
• Use Roomba daily to maintain well-conditioned floors.
Charge Roomba using the Home Base. Roomba uses the
battery icon light to indicate it is charging. Indicator lights will
turn o after 60 seconds to conserve energy while Roomba is
charging. Check status of the battery by pressing the CLEAN
button. Use this chart to determine the status of the battery.

Accessories
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:
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 meters).
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).
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 “O ” (middle) position.
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 centimeters) from the center of
the device.
