User manual IROBOT ROOMBA 700

[. . . ] Roomba ® Vacuum Cleaning Robot 700 series Owner’s Manual Dear Roomba owner, Thank you for choosing a new generation iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot. You’re joining a very special community of people - 5 million worldwide and growing - who are discovering just how useful, convenient and straightforward having a home robot is. In fact, owners tend to like their Roomba so much they’ve even given them nicknames. Not surprisingly, given that making robots is all we’ve ever done in the 20 odd years of our existence. [. . . ] To access the battery, turn Roomba over and remove the two screws that hold Roomba’s battery cover in place. You can use Lighthouses and Virtual Walls at the same time, but avoid placing them too close to each other, to the Home Base, or to furniture that could block the invisible beams. Otherwise your Roomba might not recognize the Lighthouses or be able to return to Home Base. User Interface Icons Icon What does it mean?  The Anti-tangle Indicator turns on while Roomba is freeing itself from a tangle.  The Dirt Detect Indicator flashes when dirt is detected and persistent pass cleaning pattern is initiated.  The Troubleshooting Light blinks when there is an issue (see pages 11 and 12).  The Full Bin Indicator (models 770 and above) lets you know when the dust bin is full and needs to be emptied. Solid red --- Battery drained Amber pulse --- Charging Solid green --- Fully charged Quick amber pulse --- Refresh Charge mode 6 How to use the Virtual Wall mode In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse creates an invisible barrier that your Roomba won’t cross. Simply place the Virtual Wall Lighthouse in the center of the doorframe. Unlike a Virtual Wall, a Virtual Wall Lighthouse features a range selector that you can use to adjust the length of the barrier – up to 8 feet (2 meters) – (a longer range will drain the battery faster).
