How to create a complete Map of Tapo Robot Vacuum

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.
• To prevent the robot vacuum from scanning a "virtual room," cover the 20 cm portion of the bottom if your home has extremely reflective items like floor-to-ceiling mirrors or shining metal surfaces.

- Mapping

Follow app instructions to create a map. Let the robot vacuum start building the Map from the Dock. Otherwise, the robot vacuum will keep looking for the Dock after creating the Map. After the mapping is complete, you will see an initial map.

Note: If the Robot Vacuum performs multi-floor mapping, the Robot Vacuum will need to be manually carried back to the Dock for charging after completing.

2. Optimize and Edit Map

3. Lock and Update Map

When you finish a complete cleaning, and the map details have been added, we will automatically lock the Map for you and save it permanently to avoid map errors or losses.

If you want to update the Map, you can unlock it from the map list and start cleaning it. If there is any update during the cleaning process, we will pop up a window to prompt you to update the Map.

Note: Currently, the RV30 series and RV30C series do not support this feature.

4. Back up the Map and Restore the 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.
