Using the Roomba Remote

Your Roomba Remote is designed to be extremely easy to use.Point the Roomba Remote at Roomba Pro | Pro Elite from up

to 20 feet away.Below are some important functions of the Remote:

1. Powering Roomba Up and Down Remotely: Press the Power

Button on the Remote.If Roomba was off it will turn on with a beep,and

its Battery Indicator Light will glow.Press the Power Button again to turn

Roomba off. Note: the Power Button on the Roomba Remote only turns

Roomba Pro | Pro Elite on and off. Like most other remotes, the Roomba

Remote requires no power switch of its own.

2. Drive Roomba to the Dirt: Turn Roomba on, and use the Remote’s

Control Pad (see Figure 12) to drive Roomba where you want it to clean.

Roomba cleans as you drive it. To reverse direction,use the Control Pad

to turn in place clockwise or counter-clockwise, then drive straight once

Roomba is pointed in the desired direction.

3. Starting, Pausing and Stopping a Cleaning Cycle: To start

Roomba Pro | Pro Elite cleaning with the Remote,either place Roomba in

the middle of the room or drive it to the middle of the room (see #2

above).Press the Cleaning Cycle Button on the Remote and Roomba will

begin cleaning.The Roomba Remote’s Cleaning Cycle Buttons work much

as they do on Roomba Pro | Pro Elite. See

Starting Roomba on page 9 as

well as Pausing and Stopping Roomba on page 10.

4. Spot Cleaning with the Remote: To drive Roomba to a specific area

to be cleaned such as spilled plant soil or kitty litter,drive Roomba to the

dirt (see #2 above).Once it’s in the middle of the soiled area,push the

Spot Cleaning button and let Roomba go to work.

5. Spot Cleaning with the Remote During a Cleaning Cycle: You

can also use the Roomba Remote to interrupt a cleaning cycle and drive

Roomba to an area that needs intensive cleaning.Pointing the Remote at

Roomba, push the red Pause button on the Remote to pause the current

cleaning cycle,and drive Roomba to the new area (see # 2 above).Once

you are finished Spot Cleaning,press any Cleaning Cycle Button except the

Spot Button to un-pause Roomba and continue the paused cleaning cycle.

Roomba Remote Notes:

• Virtual Wall Units and the Roomba Remote: If you drive Roomba Pro | Pro Elite into the beam of a Virtual Wall,

Roomba will beep, but become blinded to commands from the Remote. The Roomba Remote and the Virtual Wall Unit

both use Infrared beams,and Roomba’s beam receiver can only pick up one beam at a time.For safety reasons,the

Virtual Wall Unit’s beams always take precedence over the Roomba Remote.In this case,to continue using the Remote,

you will need to either pick up Roomba, turn off the Virtual Wall Unit, or wait until the Virtual Wall Unit automatically

powers down after two hours.

• Driving Roomba toward walls or staircases: If you drive Roomba into a wall or too close to the top of a staircase,it

will stop and beep if you try to go forward.Press the left or right side of the Control Pad to turn Roomba in place until

Roomba is pointing away from the obstacle.Roomba will now drive forward. It is a good idea to avoid driving Roomba

near staircases using the Remote.

Using the Virtual Wall Unit

1. Press the Virtual Wall Unit’s Power Button to turn it on (see Figure 10A.The Power Light on the Virtual Wall Unit

will glow green.

2. Move the Range Selector Switch to the room opening size you are blocking.The range numbers shown are in feet.

3. Place the Virtual Wall Unit on the floor at either edge of the doorway or by the wall.Make sure that the Unit’s Beam

Emitter points across the opening to ensure Roomba does not cross the invisible beam.

4. The Virtual Wall Unit automatically turns off after about two hours,or you can press the Unit’s Power Button to turn

it off.

Tip: Remember to turn on the Virtual Wall Unit each time you start a new cleaning cycle,to prevent the Virtual Wall Unit

from shutting down before Roomba has finished it’s cleaning cycle.

Additional Virtual Wall Units may be purchased. Contact your nearest Roomba retailer for availability,or visit

www.RoombaVac.com for online purchase options,and for more purchase information.
