Northstar Navigation - iRobot Braava 300 Series Owner's Manual

NorthStar
The NorthStar Navigation Cube acts as a beacon, emitting a signal that
guides Braava's cleaning.
Connecting to the NorthStar Navigation Cube
• Once Braava starts cleaning, it tries to establish a connection to the
NorthStar Navigation Cube, indicated by one flashing blue light on the
Navigation System Indicator. Once Braava has locked onto the Cube,
Braava's lights turn solid blue.
• The Navigation System Indicator also indicates Braava's range. As Braava
gets to the edge of its range (such as going out of the room or far from the
NorthStar Navigation Cube) the number of lights will go down.
• Braava may occasionally drive back toward the NorthStar Navigation
Cube to confirm its position before continuing on its cleaning path.
• Braava builds a new map each time it starts a new cleaning cycle,
but retains its map if paused during the cleaning cycle.
Cleaning without a NorthStar Navigation Cube
• Because the Cube is just one part of the Navigation System, Braava can
still clean without a NorthStar signal present, however the cleaning area
will be much smaller and Braava will not be able to perform edge cleaning
in each section.
Cleaning with multiple NorthStar Navigation Cubes:
• Braava can use multiple NorthStar Cubes to clean up to 186 square
metres when dry sweeping. Braava will move from one Cube to the next,
extending the cleaning area with each Cube it encounters.
• Multiple cubes can be used in Mop mode, too, but Braava limits its wet
cleaning area to 32 square metres to optimise for cloth wetness.
