accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid
comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional
medical attention.
Only charge the battery at ambient temperatures
between +4 °C and + 30 °C. The full charging power
isavailable from 15 °C.
Only charge the product in dry indoor areas.
If the temperature of the battery is outside the per-
missible charging temperature range, the battery
cannot be charged. As soon as the permitted tem-
perature range is reached, the battery is charged.
Do not use the product and its peripherals in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk
oflightning.
Do not detach the battery!
If the product has not been used for a long time,
charge it to more than 60% before use. It should
be charged to 60% at least every 3 months.
Children are not allowed to be unsupervised in the
protected area.
When the battery is empty or if the ZoneProtect has
overheated, the zone is no longer protected.
The same specifications apply to the installation
of the zone wire as for the boundary wire (see the
Operator’s Manual for the robotic lawnmower).
A USB power supply is not included with this
product.

IMPORTANT!
vDispose of the product through or via your
municipal recycling collection centre.
Disposal of the battery:
Li-ion
The battery contains lithium-ion cells

1. If you have any questions regarding the removal
of the battery, please contact the GARDENA
Service.
2. Dispose of the batteries through or via your
municipal recycling collection centre.
2. INSTALLATION
Preparation:
• Charge the battery (see 3. OPERATION).
• You can use the accessories of your
robotic lawn mower for the zone cable,
ground hooks and connection clamps.
Alternatively, you can also obtain these
from the GARDENA dealer.
• The robotic lawnmower must not be in
ECO Mode during installation
(see ECO Mode in the Operator’s Manual
for the robotic lawnmower).
• Update the mower‘s firmware
(via www.gardena.com):
SILENO minimo from 5995762-03
SILENO city from 5908253-11
SILENO life from 5939856-06
• To find out if an update is required, you can
check which firmware is currently installed
on your mower:
SILENO city & SILENO life:
Open the quick info menu (see the
Operator’s Manual of the robotic
lawnmower).
SILENO minimo: You will find the infor-
mation in the GARDENA Bluetooth App.
• Enable the Zone Generator function of your
robotic lawn mower menu/ app. Refer to
the Operator’s Manual of the robotic lawn-
mower.
Conditions for the installation:
• Lay the wire as described in the instructions
for the robotic lawnmower
(chapter: To examine where to put the
boundary wire ).
• The zone must be completely within the
mowing area of the boundary cable 6.
• The distance from the zone wire 2to the
boundary wire 6must be at least 60 cm.
• The zone should not cover the guide
wire7, otherwise the robotic lawnmower
may not find the charging station. If you
donot remember where the guide wire is,
start the robotic lawnmower at the end
ofthe guide cable and let it return to the
charging station (see Operator’s manual
of the robotic lawnmower).
• The distance from zone wire 2to guide
wire 7should be at least 60 cm.
• The ZoneProtect and all objects inside
must be at least 35 cm inside the zone
[Fig. I3].
• Do not lay the cable on slopes >10%.

• When using several ZoneProtects, the
distance from zone wire to zone wire
must be at least 60 cm.
• The zone cable must not cross [Fig. I4].
• The maximum length of the zone wire
is 15 m.
To connect the zone cable
[Fig. I1/I2]:
The zone cable 2, the ground hooks 3and
theconnection clamps 4are not included in
the scope of delivery.
1. Place the zone cable 2around the desired
zone.
2. Cut both ends of the zone cable 2to
length at the point where you want to set
up the ZoneProtect.
