User manual IROBOT ROOMBA 880

[. . . ] Welcome! Dear iRobot® Roomba® Owner, Thank you for purchasing an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot. You’ve joined the millions of people who clean with robots — the smarter way to get it done. To get the best performance from your Roomba, please take a few moments to read this manual and get acquainted with it. If you have any questions, please visit www. irobot. com/support for more information. [. . . ] Charging Roomba To charge Roomba, connect the line cord to the Home Base and then dock your robot. W  hen Roomba is on the Home Base, always make sure that the Home Base power light is on. Charging Lights Roomba uses the battery icon light to indicate it is charging. BATTERY ICON Solid red Amber pulse Solid green Quick amber pulse 18 BATTERY STATUS Battery empty Charging Fully charged 16-hour refresh charge Roomba 800 Series Owner’s Manual Auto Virtual Wall® (optional accessory compatible with all models) EN A Virtual Wall® creates an invisible barrier that Roomba won’t cross. That makes it easy to confine Roomba to a particular room or area, and prevent it from getting too close to anything delicate or dangerous. You can set a Virtual Wall to block openings of up to seven feet (approximately two meters). The Virtual Wall also creates a halo of protection around itself, preventing Roomba from getting too close. For best performance, place a Virtual Wall on the outside of the doorway you want to block. Point the arrows on top of the Virtual Wall towards the opening you want to block. Auto Virtual Wall When a Virtual Wall is set to Auto mode, the power light blinks continuously to indicate it is on. When battery levels are low, the Virtual Wall blinks twice repeatedly to indicate it needs new batteries. Battery Installation 1 2 3 Battery Compartment Two C Alkaline Batteries Roomba 800 Series Owner’s Manual 19 EN Virtual Wall® LighthouseTM (optional accessory for some models) A Virtual Wall Lighthouse can act as both a Lighthouse and a Virtual Wall. •  In Lighthouse mode, it allows Roomba to efficiently clean multiple rooms before returning to the Home Base. • In Virtual Wall mode, it blocks off areas you don’t want cleaned. Simply use the Mode Selector to make your choice. Either way, the Lighthouse turns on and off automatically as you turn Roomba on and off. How to use the Lighthouse mode Simply place a Lighthouse in the doorway with the logo facing forward. When Roomba has completed the first room, the Lighthouse will help it navigate around your home, allowing it to clean room-to-room. When Roomba has completed cleaning, the Lighthouse will direct it back to its Home Base for recharging. You can use Lighthouse devices and Virtual Wall barriers at the same time. However, please avoid placing them too close to each other, to the Home Base or to furniture that could block the invisible beams. Otherwise, Roomba might not recognize the Lighthouses or be able to return to its Home Base. How to use the Virtual Wall mode In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse creates an invisible barrier that Roomba won’t cross. Unlike a Virtual Wall, a Lighthouse features a range selector that lets you adjust the length of the barrier — up to eight feet (2. 4 meters). Please note: setting a longer range will drain the battery faster. 20 Roomba 800 Series Owner’s Manual Virtual Wall® HaloTM (optional accessory compatible with all models) EN The Virtual Wall® Halo™ makes Roomba perfect for homes with pets. By setting up a protective zone around the Virtual Wall®, the Halo prevents Roomba from bumping into and disturbing your pet’s food and water bowls. Follow these steps to set up the Virtual Wall Halo: 1.  Once you have installed batteries in the Virtual Wall, insert it all the way into the Halo. The circular lens of the Virtual Wall should be completely visible at the top. [. . . ] Briskly tap Roomba’s bumper several times to dislodge any debris that may be trapped underneath.
