Why would you need more than one Virtual Wall?
Extra Virtual Wall Units can be used to block more than one doorway in order to
confine Roomba to one room, or be used to divide a large room in half. Further,
especially large openings require that more than one Virtual Wall Unit be used.
Additional Virtual Wall Units may be purchased by contacting your nearest
Roomba retailer, or visit www.roombavac.com for online purchase options.
Are batteries included for the Virtual Wall Unit?
One Virtual Wall Unit requires 2 "D" alkaline batteries, which are not included.
The Virtual Wall Unit's Power Light will not turn on.
Have you inserted two fully charged D-size batteries into the Virtual Wall Unit, by
following the "+" and "-" symbols? Has the Virtual Wall Unit been dropped, kicked
or damaged by any other means? Check that there is no dirt on either the Virtual
Wall Unit lens on the top of the unit or on the Virtual Wall Unit Sensor on the
Roomba, at the very front of Roomba on the bumper. Wipe these sensors gently
with a soft cloth or tissue. Check that there is nothing blocking the beam portal in
the front of the Virtual Wall Unit. If there is dirt or other material blocking the
beam, wipe it clean with a soft cloth or tissue.
The Virtual Wall Unit will not turn off.
The unit will turn off automatically after approximately an hour. Alternatively, you
can press the Power Button on the Virtual Wall Unit to turn it off. If this fails to
turn the Unit off, remove and reinsert its batteries.
Roomba passes through the Virtual Wall.
Did you know that you need to turn on the Virtual Wall Unit each time you use
Roomba? It turns off automatically after an hour.
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 insure
Roomba does not cross the invisible beam. (The Beam Emitter is located at the
front of the Unit on a vertical surface. It's not located on the top surface of the
Unit.) Make sure that there is no object blocking the beam aimed across your
room opening. How large is room opening you're trying to block? What setting is
the range selector switch on?
1. If the room opening is less than 13 feet, turn the Virtual Wall Unit's Range
Selector Switch up to the maximum setting for large openings.
2. If room opening is greater than 13 feet, you will need to use an additional
Virtual Wall Unit to span that area.
