Remote Control
(optional accessory, see back cover for ordering instructions)
The iRobot Dirt Dog Remote Control lets you conveniently control iRobot
Dirt Dog’s functions. You can use it to turn iRobot Dirt Dog on and off, and
steer it around your room without bending down. It also gives you remote
access to the following commands:
Clean: Start iRobot Dirt Dog in Clean mode. iRobot Dirt Dog calculates
room size and adjusts cleaning time.
Spot: Start iRobot Dirt Dog in Spot mode. iRobot Dirt Dog focuses on a
small area.
Max: Start iRobot Dirt Dog in Max mode. iRobot Dirt Dog runs until battery
is depleted.
Pause: Pause iRobot Dirt Dog in the middle of the cleaning cycle. Press
pause again to continue.
Before using your remote for the first time, install 2 AA batteries (not included).
TIP: You can use the remote to direct iRobot Dirt Dog to the Home Base.
Once i Robot Dirt Dog is in range and can “see” the Home Base, it will
return to the base and dock itself automatically.
The i Robot Dirt Dog Remote Control, Virtual Walls, and Home Base all
operate using an invisible infrared beam. If they are all used in the same
area, iRobot Dirt Dog may see multiple infrared signals and will not operate.
The Remote WILL NOT work when the robot is near Virtual Walls.
