[. . . ] When Roomba is in Scheduled Cleaning Mode, the status light blinks amber. At the specified time, Roomba leaves its Home Base, cleans for up to 60 minutes and returns to the Home Base to recharge when it is done. 10 iRobot Roomba Owner's Manual Battery Storage and Charging Roomba is powered by a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery. Roomba's battery can last for hundreds of cleaning cycles before a replacement is necessary. Battery life To avoid rapid deterioration of battery life, we recommend storing Roomba's battery in the robot with the power supply plugged in, or with Roomba on the Home Base. Permanent damage can be caused to the battery if left uncharged after being run down by a full cleaning cycle. You should fully charge Roomba's battery before each cleaning cycle. Cleaning time is dependent on floor surface, temperature, and battery life and will vary. 1 Hour refresh Charge When charging for the first time, or if Roomba has been left off the charger for a long time, Roomba will initiate a special 16-hour charge cycle. This extended charge refreshes Roomba's battery and extends the life of the battery. TIP: Keep the battery charging at all times unless in use. If roomba is not going to be used for an extended period of time, charge battery first and then take the battery out of roomba and store it separately in a cool place. Charging roomba Charge Roomba in one of two ways: Or www. domotec. uk. com · www. irobot. com 11 Charging lights All Roomba models have a charging indicator light. Use this chart to determine the status of the battery: Charging Indicator light Red Amber pulse Solid green Battery status Battery empty Charging Fully charged Model 10 Charging Indicator Light Model 20 Charging Indicator Light TIP: when roomba is on the Home Base, always make sure that the Home Base Power and Docked lights are on. 12 iRobot Roomba Owner's Manual Virtual WallsTM The iRobot Roomba Virtual Walls create an invisible barrier that Roomba will not cross. The Virtual Walls can be set to block an area ranging from one to three meters long. TIP: use the Virtual walls to block doorways or to keep roomba away from cords. Confining roomba to a single room will accelerate cleaning. The Virtual Wall beam is keyhole shaped. A small halo prevents Roomba from bumping into the Virtual Wall and a larger lobe-shaped section blocks off areas of your home where you don't want Roomba to go. Shape of Beam D Alkaline Batteries Battery Installation The Virtual Wall requires 2 "D" batteries and automatically shuts off after 135 minutes. If the power light blinks green, the batteries will soon need replacement. (not included) Battery Door range adjustment Use the slider bar to adjust the length of the barrier. A higher range will drain the battery faster. Range TIP: For best performance, place the Virtual wall on the outside of the doorway you wish to block. set the Virtual wall to the shortest setting possible to extend battery life. Additional Virtual Walls may be purchased at www. domotec. uk. com. www. domotec. uk. com · www. irobot. com 13 Home BaseTM Included with model 5240 only, also available as an accessory. Roomba returns to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the Home Base in order to return. When Roomba is on the Home Base, the Power and Docked lights will be green to indicate Roomba is charging. Home Base location You should position the Home Base on a hard level surface and in an area where Roomba has a clear path to return to the dock at the end of a cleaning cycle. If Roomba is unable to dock on its first attempt, it will try again until it successfully docks. To manually dock Roomba, place it within 2 meters of the Home Base and press Spot and Clean simultaneously. You can also drive Roomba toward the Home Base with the remote control, and Roomba will dock automatically. Home Base Chair Table Stairs Area Rug The roomba remote, Virtual wall, and Home Base operate using an invisible infrared technology. If they are all used in the same area, roomba may see multiple infrared signals and not operate. After the time has been set, it will flash three times to indicate the time has been saved.
