How to create a complete map of my home
12301 1. Quick Mapping
- Before Mapping
- Open doors so your robot vacuum can explore.
- Pick up obstacles like wires, clothing, and plastic bags.
- If you have carpets, remove the mop cloth mount from your robot vacuum. Additionally, put away high pile carpeting.
- Mapping
Follow app instructions to create a map. After the mapping is complete, you will see an initial map.
2. Optimize and Edit Map
Quick mapping will only get the basic outline of your whole house. After the quick mapping is complete:
- Start a whole-house cleaning and the details of the map will be automatically added.
- Divide or merge the rooms based on actual conditions of your home and name the rooms as needed. Now the map is closer to your real home.
- Set up blocked zones and virtual walls on the map for areas you don't want your robot vacuum to clean.
3. Lock and Update Map
When you finish a complete cleaning and the map details has been added, we will automatically lock the map for you and save the map permanently to avoid map errors or losses.
If you want to update the map, you can unlock the map from the map list and start cleaning. If there is any update during the cleaning process, we will pop up a window to prompt you whether to update the map.
4. Back Up Map
After the map is edited and locked, it is recommended that you manually back up the map so that it can be restored from the cloud if a problem occurs.
