(continued)
In Lighthouse mode, place the Virtual Wall Lighthouse in the doorway between two rooms with the iRobot logo facing forward.
Place Lighthouse in the center of the door frame
Virtual Wall Mode
In Virtual Wall mode, the Lighthouse creates an invisible barrier that Roomba will not cross. It automatically turns off when Roomba turns off. In Virtual Wall mode, place the Virtual Wall Lighthouse in the center of the door frame. It blocks an opening up to seven feet or longer in three increments:
Range
Selector
Distance
TIP: Avoid placing Virtual Wall Lighthouses too close to each other, the Home Base, or furniture that could block the beams. Doing so could prevent Roomba from recognizing the Lighthouses and navigating to the next room.
TIP: To conserve battery life, remove the batteries if you are not planning to use the Virtual Wall Lighthouse when cleaning. When battery levels are low, the Virtual Wall Lighthouse power light will flash repeatedly.
