EN Using Virtual Wall® Mode You can create an invisible barrier with the Virtual Wall® Mode so that the robot will avoid cleaning part of a room or a different floor type. • Begin with the robot powered off. When placing the robot, note that the invisible line will be created in line with the back of the robot. • To activate Virtual Wall Mode, start with a powered-off robot and press and hold the CLEAN button until two blue lines appear on the top of the robot.
EN 14 • Once in Virtual Wall Mode, the robot will mark an invisible boundary in its internal map, extending out to each side (see illustration). As the robot cleans your floor, it will not go beyond the invisible line. • Once the robot is in place, just press CLEAN to start the job. • Virtual Wall Mode will turn off automatically when the robot completes its job. To manually clear a Virtual Wall Mode cleaning cycle and turn off the robot, press and hold the CLEAN button until all indicators turn off.
Tips for Best Performance EN • For best results, use a Dry Sweeping Pad or vacuum to pick up dirt and dust before running your robot with a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping Pad. • Do not presoak cleaning pads before attaching them to the robot. Pads should be dry at the start of a cleaning cycle. • To pause your robot during a cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button. To resume the cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button again.
