A
Accessory box: The box includes notification pager, notification pager charger, pin and micro-fiber cloth. Upon arrival, accessory box will be stored inside the battery box.
Autonomous clean start/stop button: Use to start autonomous cleaning mode or to pause/resume autonomous cleaning. The autonomous clean start/stop button (⇒see “Autonomous Clean Start/Stop Button”) can only be used in autonomous cleaning mode.
Autonomous cleaning: The operator teaches a cleaning route on the machine beforehand
(⇒see “Teaching a New Cleaning Route”) so that the machine can clean by itself without the operator cleaning with it manually. When using autonomous cleaning, stow the steering handle in the main unit beforehand as a safety precaution. (⇒see “Autonomous Cleaning (Robot)”)
Assist – An instance at which human intervention is required in order for Whiz to continue autonomous operation.
Assist Times (Location) – Average Assist Time-to-Resolve (TTR) at this location over the last 30 days, indicating the average time an assist took to be resolved from the time it was escalated for the location over the last 30 days. This value is calculated and updated once per day.
Autonomous, Coverage (Reporting) – Total square footage covered by Whiz while running autonomously, or on its own without human aid, calculated by multiplying the length of the run by width of the machine’s footprint. This number may not be reported if there is poor signal strength. It takes time to upload and will be faster with better network speed. The coverage total should be available even for autonomous runs that are cancelled.
AVG Location TTR - Average time for assists to be resolved at one particular location, over the last rolling 30 days.
