GPS COMMUNICATION
HUSQVARNA AUTOMOWER
®

INTRODUCTION
Automower® GPS communication unit contains two main functions;
SMS feature and GPS anti-theft protection.
The SMS feature allows you to communicate with the Automower® via SMS. In this way, one
can alter settings as well as start and stop the mower remotely. The mower sends an SMS if it
should stop working.
GPS anti-theft protection offers increased protection and control of Automower®. If the
mower is moved outside the preset protection area, an SMS alert message is sent. New SMS
are sent with updated location details as the Automower® is moved. The movement can be
followed using an online map service by entering the positioning data provided in the SMS
messages. It is important to enter the position exactly as it is presented in the SMS.
BEFORE USE
A SIM card is required to use the device. This is normally supplied by the end user and
tted in Automower® by the dealer, together with the GPS communication unit. The SIM
card, assembly and installation are normally not included in the price of
the GPS unit or the mower.
When the SIM card is installed, the administrator’s phone number must be entered before
the GPS communication unit can be used for the rst time. Enter the required admin-
istrator’s phone number by sending an SMS to Automower® with the command Spn1
followed by the phone number, e.g. Spn1 [phone]. The GPS unit conrms the
new administrator phone number by sending an SMS back with a message containing the
chosen telephone number. This phone number is essential to operate the unit. It is impor-
tant to enter the number correctly the rst time. If an incorrect number is entered, your
dealer can reset the unit.

ACTIVATE THE GPS ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTION AREA
Before the anti-theft protection area can be activated, a SIM card must be installed and the administra-
tor’s phone number must be entered into the GPS communication unit. Read the “Before use” section.
1 .
Place Automower
®
at the centre of the required protection area (often in the
middle of the lawn Automower
®
is going to mow). Avoid placing Automower
®
under trees, roofs or close to a house, as this weakens the GPS signal.
2.
Set the main switch to the ON position.
3.
Go to the mower’s Security menu, enter your PIN code and press YES. Place
the cursor at GPS and press YES. Select ON to activate and press YES. Make
sure that Alarm and Time lock are activated for total functionality. The GPS
unit now automatically indexes the position as the central point.
4.
Leave the mower in the same position until the GPS unit conrms the
central point by sending an SMS containing the GPS coordinates for the
central point. This can take up to 15 minutes.
5.
Automower
®
has now an activated circular protection area with a radius of
100 metres from the central point. If the mower is moved outside the pro-
tection area, an alarm is triggered and the GPS communication unit sends
an SMS alert message to the designated phone numbers. The radius can be
increased if required.
6.
You can deactivate the GPS anti-theft protection at any time by going to the
mower’s Security menu, entering your PIN code and deactivating the GPS.
This may be of use, when the mower for instance must be transported to
your dealer for a winter service.

SMS FEATURE
In cases where a message is displayed in the mower display (if the mower for instance gets
stuck in a tree branch that has blown down), the GPS communication unit will send an
SMS message. The SMS describes in general terms what has happened, while the message
in the mower display offers a more detailed description of the cause of the stoppage. An
SMS is normally sent about 15 minutes after a message is shown in the mower display.
It is also possible to communicate with the mower. The following SMS can be sent to
Automower® to change settings or enquire of settings and status.
The commands that start with the letter S (Set) change a setting and commands beginning
with an R (Read) read settings or status.

** Enter on/off for all the days of the week, Monday to Sunday. e.g. Swt On-Off-On-Off-On-Off-Off
results in Automower® mowing Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will not mow on the other days.
Important information
It is important to write the messages exactly as outlined in the tables, with spaces,
dots and colons in the correct manner. All commands are conrmed by Automower®
sending back an SMS.

**** From a security point of view, the administrator’s number can only be set once from a mobile phone that
is not that of users 2-5. It means that only users 2-5 can request to become a new administrator by sending SPN1
followed by their phone number.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The GPS communication unit has completely stopped sending SMS.
1. If a prepaid SIM card is used, check that there is enough to cover the cost
of sending an SMS. Check also that the SIM card is not deactivated due for
instance to a long period of inactivity. This can be easily done by inserting
the SIM card in a mobile phone and following operator instructions. Con-
tact an authorised dealer to remove the SIM card.
2. Check that the PIN code for the SIM card is deactivated. This can be eas-
ily done by inserting the SIM card in a mobile phone and following the
operator manual for the phone. Contact an authorised dealer for help in
removing the SIM card.
3. If the mower is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. stored away for the
winter), the internal back-up battery in the GPS communication unit may
be at. The mower may then have to work for many hours before the bat-
tery in the GPS communication unit is completely charged. Only then can
it begin to communicate.
4. Check that the administrator’s telephone number is correct. From a security
point of view, the administrator’s number can only be set once from a
phone that is not already a registered user of the GPS communication unit
in question. Please contact an authorised dealer to check and make possible
changes to the administrator number.
The central point of the anti-theft protection area cannot be set or is incorrect.
1. Check that the mower is placed on open ground. The GPS signal can be
weakened if the mower is placed close to a house, under a roof or under a
tree. Activate the GPS in the mower menu. Wait for 10 minutes. Activate the
GPS in the mower menu. Await a conrmation SMS. This can take up to
15 minutes. Do not move the mower before you have received conrmation.
2. Please refer to the troubleshooting guide above for details on missing SMS.

SMS feature
EXAMPLE - GPS ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
ARE A
If the mower is moved outside the protection area, the GPS communication unit sends
an SMS alert message. The rst SMS is sent to all registered users. After this, only the ad-
ministrator receives updated positioning information. If the mower stops moving an SMS
alert message is sent. To save energy, an SMS will be sent only if the mower begins to move
again. All users are notied when the mower enters the anti-theft protection area again.
SMS’s cannot be sent to the mower while it is located outside the anti-theft protection
area. This is to lower energy usage so that the GPS communication unit can send new posi-
tion notications as long as possible.
EXAMPLE - SMS FEATURE
If one wishes remotely to send the mower to the charging station (if it is not already there)
and leave it there, an SMS with the Shm (Send the mower to the charging station) com-
mand can be sent to the GPS communication unit.
Send an SMS with the Rst (Read status) command to nd out what the mower is doing
at any particular time. The GPS communication unit answers by sending an SMS with a
Cutting, Charging, Timer or Stopped message.
