Remote Control

The Roomba Remote Control lets you conveniently control Roomba’s 
functions. You can use it to turn Roomba on and off, and steer it around 
your room without bending down. It also gives you remote access to the 
following commands: 

Clean:

 Start Roomba in Clean mode. 

spot:

 Start Roomba in Spot mode. 

Max:

 Start Roomba in Max mode. 

Pause:

 Pause Roomba in the middle of the cleaning cycle. Press pause 

again to continue. 

Before using your remote for the first time, you must install 2 AA batteries 
(sold separately). 

TIP:  You can use the remote to direct roomba to the Home Base. Once 

roomba is in range and can “see” the Home Base,  it will return to the 
base and dock itself automatically. 

  The roomba remote Control, Virtual walls, and Home Base all operate 

using an invisible infrared beam. If they are all used in the same area, 
roomba may see multiple infrared signals and will not operate. The 
remote wIll nOT work when the robot is near Virtual walls.
