NorthStar® Navigation
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: (For Braava 380t ONLY):
•Braava can use multiple NorthStar Cubes to clean up to 2,000 square feet 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 350 square feet to optimize for cloth wetness.
