•Keeping tabs on Roomba’s state: The Roomba Remote has all the same buttons as on Roomba Pro Pro Elite, but its buttons do not light up as they do on Roomba to help keep you informed of Roomba’s state. Always look at Roomba to determine it’s state.
•The Pause Button: The red Pause Button on the Roomba Remote may be pressed during any cleaning cycle to Pause
Roomba. This button may be thought of as a “panic button”: it only pauses Roomba. Once Roomba is paused, additional presses of this button have no effect.
Tip: Can’t find Roomba once it’s finished its work? Point the Roomba Remote in the general direction that you think Roomba may be hiding. Press the Power Button on the Roomba Remote over and over. If Roomba can “see” the Remote, it will beep to start up.
Using the Roomba Remote with Roomba Pro
The Roomba Remote is designed for use with Roomba Pro Elite, but is also compatible with Roomba Pro. As an added benefit for Roomba Pro owners, all of the features of Roomba Pro Elite are available to Roomba Pro users, including MAX Cleaning mode. However, this feature works slightly differently with Roomba Pro, as described below.
•Starting MAX Cleaning with Roomba Pro: If Roomba Pro is off, turn it on (see Feature #1 in Using the Roomba Remote on page 13), and press the MAX Button on the Roomba Remote. Roomba will play its “Starting a Cleaning Cycle” tune and begin a MAX cleaning cycle. Roomba typically lets you know what Cleaning Cycle it’s in by illuminating the cor- responding Cleaning Cycle Button. Since Roomba Pro does not have a MAX Cleaning Cycle Button, no Cleaning Cycle Button is illuminated while Roomba Pro is in a MAX Cleaning Cycle.
•Pausing MAX Cleaning with Roomba Pro: Once in MAX Cleaning Cycle, you can pause the cleaning cycle in a variety of ways — pressing the red Pause Button or any Cleaning Cycle Button on the Remote, picking Roomba Pro up or pressing any Cleaning Cycle Button on Roomba Pro. When Roomba is paused, it typically lets you know what Cleaning Cycle is paused by flashing the corresponding Cleaning Cycle Button. Since Roomba Pro does not have a MAX Cleaning Cycle Button, no Cleaning Cycle Button is flashing while Roomba Pro is paused during a MAX Cleaning Cycle. In this case, Roomba Pro’s control panel may look a bit confusing. Here’s how to tell that Roomba is paused in a MAX Cleaning Cycle: If none of the Cleaning Cycle buttons are illuminated, and the Battery Indicator Light is not flashing red, then Roomba is paused in a MAX Cleaning Cycle.
Beyond these two instances, the Roomba Remote will operate the same way it does with Roomba Pro Elite.
The Wall Mount Unit (Roomba Pro Elite only)
The Wall Mount Unit included with Roomba Pro Elite gives you a convenient, compact storage solution for Roomba. The Wall Mount Unit easily mounts to a variety of wall surfaces, and is designed to provide easy access to empty the Particle Bin and charge Roomba while stored. All the hardware needed to mount the unit are included with Roomba Pro Elite. The Wall Mount Unit fits all Roomba and Roomba Pro models, and is available as an accessory. Visit www. RoombaVac.com for online purchase options, and for more purchase information.
Installing the Wall Mount Unit
To install the Wall Mount Unit you will need a drill, a 1/4” drill bit or 1/8” drill bit (see below to determine which is best for your needs), a hammer, a pencil, and a #2 Phillips Screwdriver.
1. Remove all protective packing material from around the Wall Mount Unit.

2.Determine a suitable location for the Wall Mount Unit. Be sure to leave at least 10” of clearance above the Wall Mount Unit (beneath any shelving, for instance) to lift your Roomba in and out comfortably. Also, leave 10” of clearance below the Wall Mount Unit to empty Roomba’s Particle Bin while stowed (Figure 13a). If possible, find a location near enough to an electrical outlet for the Charger AC Adapter to reach the Wall Mount Unit. Note: Roomba fits snugly in the Wall Mount Unit. It may require some force to lift Roomba out. Be sure to position Roomba in a location where you have plenty of leverage.
3.Using a pencil, mark the locations of the holes to be drilled on the wall (Figure 13c).
4.Remove the Wall Mount Unit and drill the five pilot holes in the wall. Use a 1/4” drill bit to use the included wall anchors (best for drywall or plaster), or an 1/8” drill bit if using just the included screws without wall anchors (best for wood). If using the wall anchors, hammer the wall anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall surface (Figure 13d).
5.Affix the Wall Mount Unit to the wall by screwing in the included screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver (Figure 14a).
6.Insert the rubber screw hole plugs into the screw holes to finish installation (Figure 14b).
7.Press the Charger AC Adapter’s cord into the Charge Cord Pincer on the bottom right side of the Wall Mount Unit as shown, and plug the Charger AC Adapter into a standard U.S. electrical outlet.
Using the Wall Mount Unit
Roomba may be stored and charged in the Wall Mount Unit as needed in between floor cleanings. To lift Roomba in and out of the Wall Mount Unit, firmly grasp Roomba’s handle in one hand and use the other hand to steady Roomba. Alternatively, you can grasp Roomba securely with both hands (Figure 16).
