Different search methods
Every garden is different. This can mean the settings for how
Automower should search for the charging station may need
to be changed depending on the appearance of your garden.
There are three ways Automower can fi nd the charging station.
Irregular searching. Automower runs irregularly until it
fi nds the charging station.
Follow the boundary wire. Automower runs irregularly
until it reaches the boundary wire. The mower then
follows the boundary wire in to the charging station.
Follow the guide wire. Automower runs irregularly
until it reaches the guide wire. The mower then follows
the guide wire in to the charging station.
Need of a guide wire
If the garden contains narrow passages, steep slopes or a
number of islands a guide wire may need to be installed so
Automower can fi nd the charging station quickly.
Guide wire
The guide wire is an extra wire that is laid from the
charging station, out towards a remote part of the working
area or through a narrow passage and is then connected
to the boundary wire. See chapter 3.8 Installation of the
guide wire in the Operator’s Manual.
Corridor width
The Corridor width setting defi nes the distances from the
mower’s path to the boundary wire or the guide wire when
following these to/from the charging station. Corridor width
is a relative distance and is stated on a scale from 0 to 20.
The higher the stated Corridor width value, the less risk
there is of tracks forming.
Narrow passages
When the distance between the boundary wires in a passage
is less than 3 metres, there are two options available that
permit Automower to run through the passage.
Option 2. Reduce the corridor width so Automower
runs closer to the boundary wire.

Option 1. Install a guide wire through the passage.
Usually the installation of the guide wire is the best
solution with narrow passages.

3Connecting the boundary wire
See chapter 3.5 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Lift off the cover on the charging station and slide
in the ends of the boundary wire in the lowermost
holes on the charging station and catch them in the
uppermost holes:
• Right hand wire end into the right hand hole.
• Left hand wire end into the left hand hole.
2. Open the connector and place the wire in the
connector grip.
3. Press the connector together using a pair of pliers.
4. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1-2 cm above
the connector.
5. Press the connector onto the terminal, marked A, on
the charging station. Refit the cover on the charging
station.

4Checking the installation
See chapter 3.6 in the Operator’s Manual
Check the loop signal by looking to see what indication the
green LED on the charging station is giving.
• Lit = the signal is okay.
• Flashing once every other second = break in the loop and no
signal found.
• Flashing twice every other second = signal found, but the
wire is probably damaged.
Linking the Automower to the charging station
See chapter 3.7 in the Operator’s Manual
To be fully functional, the Automower must be linked to its
charging station.
1. Make sure the Automower is in the charging station.
2. Enter, when requested: Language, time format, time, date
format, and date.
3. Choose and enter a four digit PIN code.
4. Automower is ready to use.
Starting
1. Open the control panel cover by pressing the STOP button.
2. Set the main switch to the ON position.
If the time lock is activated: Enter the PIN code.
3. Close the cover.
Stopping
Press the STOP button.

Placing and connecting the charging
station
See chapter 3.2 in the Operator’s Manual
If you are going to install a guide wire, read 3.8
Installation of the guide wire, before choosing the
position of the charging station.
1. Place the charging station centrally in the
working area, with a large free area in front of
the station and on level ground.
2. Connect the low voltage cable to the charging
station and the transformer.
3. Connect the transformer’s power cord to a 230V
wall socket.
Charging the battery and laying out the
boundary wire
See chapters 3.3 and 3.4 in the Operator’s Manual
1. Place the Automower in the charging station to
charge the battery while you are laying out the
boundary wire. Leave the main switch in the
OFF position.
2. Lay out the boundary wire so it forms a loop
around the working area.

The timer function
To achieve a good lawn quality and to avoid the lawn being
trodden, it is recommended to use the timer function. By
setting what time and which days to mow, you ensure that
Automower mows only as much as necessary. When setting
the timer, consider that the Automower mows about 75 m2 per
hour.

Here you will find a few tips about important settings for
your Automower.
All settings for Automower are made using the menu
functions.
Security
It is recommended that you use Time lock, which is the most
important theft-prevention function. This function partly involves
the Automower stopping to mow after a predetermined number
of days and not continuing until the correct PIN code has been
entered, and partly that the PIN code must be entered when
the main switch is set to the ON position. The default setting on
Automower is 30 days, but can be changed as required.
