Landroid®'s new home-your garden
Let's start by having a closer look at Landroid®’s new home—your lawn—highlighting the areas where it
can safely go and areas it’s best for Landroid®to avoid.
When hitting any obstacle that’s rigid, stable and taller than
10cm—such as a wall or a fence—your Landroid®will simply
stop and re-direct away from the obstacle.
Obstacles that can be hit
Stones that are heavy enough not to be moved by your
Landroid®can be safely hit. However, if any stone has an
inclined surface that your Landroid®can climb, you should
either remove it or exclude it from the working area.
Stones
If your driveway is level with your lawn, without any protruding
surface, the Landroid®can freely run over it. If you'd like the
Landroid®to avoid it, place the boundary wire 10cm* away from it.
If it’s covered with gravel, you should not allow the Landroid® to
travel over it, using the distance gauge for spacing in this case,
keeping a 26cm* space between the boundary wire and the
driveway.
* This is the recommended distance. Use the provided distance
gauge to ensure proper installation.
Driveways
Roots emerging from the ground should be avoided to prevent
unwanted damages.
Trees
You certainly don’t want your Landroid®to mow your flowers, or
fall into the water. These areas should be avoided.
Additionally, obstacles that are 2cm-10cm high should also be
excluded from Landroid®’s operation area.
Flowerbeds, ponds, pools...

EN
35% (20°)
In the case of large bumps (higher than 2cm) or dips (wider than
10cm and deeper than 2.5cm), please consider if the blades
would touch the ground or if Landroid®would stuck on them;
if this is the case, either make the inclines smoother or exclude
these areas from your Landroid®’s operation.
Depressions and bumps
Your Landroid®has the ability to safely climb slopes up to 35%
(20°), so just avoid areas steeper than this.
So the slope would be:
35cm (Elevation)
100cm (Length) =35% (slope)
Slopes
The Upper Boundary Wire should NOT be placed on slopes
steeper than 35% (20°). The Upper Boundary Wire should have
a distance of at least 26cm between any obstacles. The Lower
Boundary Wire should NOT be placed on slopes steeper than
17% (10°). The Lower Boundary Wire should have a distance of
at least 40cm between any obstacles when it is positioned on
a slope that is 17%.
NOTE: The lower boundary wire cannot be laid across a slope
steeper than 17%, or Landroid®will slip and cross outside the
wire, especially when the grass is wet.

CHARGING
BASE

10
EN
90o
First of all, find a spot for the charging base, taking into account the position of your outdoor electrical outlet since the charging base
only has a 10m power cord.
NOTE: Make sure the adaptor and the electrical outlet are always kept in a dry place.
Your Landroid
®
needs to know where to mow. This is why you have to mark its working area with a boundary wire
that will form an invisible fence. This wire will also guide your Landroid
®
to its charging base.
If your neighbor also uses a Landroid
®
, then you must keep a space of at least 0.5 metres between your
boundary wire and your neighbor's.
Landroid®’s charging base is allowed to be placed against the wall
or fence, with the charging components facing into your lawn.
Allow a straight boundary wire, at least 2m long with no obstacles
to the left and right of the charging base. If possible, place the
charging base in the shade, and batteries are better recharged in a
cool place.
1.1
The charging base must be positioned on relatively level ground.
It must not be positioned on an inclined surface or a place that
makes its plate bend.
There are grooves on the charging base. Slide the boundary wire
in, and the grooves guides the boundary wire to the wire terminal.
1.2
1. Placing the Charging Base

11
EN
Take off the cover on the charging base, you will see an IN-wire
terminal (Black) and an OUT-wire terminal (Red). Strip the end of
the boundary wire off to let the metal part expose, and connect
the wire to the IN-wire terminal (Black) of the charging base.
NOTE: The extended boundary wire should not be too long or it may cause signal problem. Make sure the wire is straight and tight all
throughout.
OUT IN

12
EN
When pegging the boundary wire for the first time, it is recommended to use a normal lawn mower or a grass
trimmer to cut the grass along the boundary. Then the wire can be laid as close as possible to the ground to prevent
the Landroid
®
accidentally cutting the wire. The boundary wire is powered with a very low voltage so that it is totally
safe to human beings and pets.
2. Pegging Your Boundary Wire
NOTE: Keep the boundary wire straight and tight between the
pegs, there should be no slack wire between the pegs.
When laying the boundary
wire, use the distance
gauge to keep a 26cm space
between the wire and the
boundary.
Each wire peg should be
placed around 75cm apart.
Use the provided distance
gauge to ensure proper
installation.
NOTE: The maximum
permitted length for the
boundary wire is 350m.

2.3
If there is an island that sits inside your lawn where you don't
want Landroid®to go, please follow the path as shown in the
diagram as you peg the wire. The wire should run from the
perimeter to outline the defined island and then return back
to the perimeter. The boundary wire between the island and
perimeter should be closely laid together and held in place by
the same wire peg. During operation, the Landroid®will be
able to freely pass over this part of the wire.
>1m
2.2
A feature, such as flowers or shrubs that are close to the mowing
boundary, should be excluded from the Landroid®mowing area.

EN
If your lawn has two or more separate areas connected to each
other by a corridor, it should be at least 1 metre wide. If the
corridor is too narrow, please pick your Landroid®up and bring it
to the other lawn. Landroid®will mow this lawn without problem,
but you have to bring it back to the charging base when the battery
runs out.
2.7
>90º>90º
<90º
Ensure the boundary wire is perfectly straight in each corner, and
all angles formed by the boundary wire are bigger than 90°.
In the case of an obstacle that is level with ground and safe for the
Landroid®to run over, such as a driveway or sidewalk, then only a
10cm space is needed.
In the case of two islands that are close to each other, it would be
convenient to lay out the wire as illustrated in the picture.
The Landroid®can travel freely over the boundary wire in between
the islands and the mowing boundary.

Completing the setup of the boundary wire
Having outlined your garden with the boundary wire, you are now
able to finish up the boundary wire setting.
Repeat Step 1.2 to lead the boundary wire to the charging base.
Then cut the wire to a length that’s appropriate for reaching the
terminal on the charging base, and strip the end of the boundary
wire off.
Connect the wire to the OUT-wire terminal (Red), and fit the
terminal cover back on.
NOTE: The boundary wire must not be crossed when
connecting to the charging base. The right-hand wire end must
be connected to the IN-wire terminal on the charging base and
the left-hand wire end to the OUT-wire terminal.
NOTE: The extended boundary wire should not be too long or
it may cause signal problem. Make sure the wire is straight and
tight all throughout.

3. Connecting Your Charging Base to
the Power Source
When connecting the power cord of the charging base to the
adaptor, align the notch on the power cord connector (b) with the
groove on the adaptor connector (a).
In case the power cord is within the working area, you may bury it
as needed.
NOTE:
Select a dry and sheltered place to keep the adaptor. It is
recommended to hang the adapter on a vertical surface, such as
a wall.

4. Turn on and Test the Installation
Adjust the cutting height to its maximum level (60mm) for the
first mow and then adjust to your preferred lawn grass height.
Place your Landroid®inside the working area, a few meters
from the back of the charging base. Landroid®, after turning
on, will go through the entire boundary wire before returning
to charging base.This allows you to check if the boundary wire
is laid out properly.
Set the main switch at the rear of Landroid®to Position “I”.
Press “ ” button and then press “OK” button.
Your Landroid®now is finding its way to the charging base.
Watch the Landroid®as it returns to the charging base and
modify the positioning of the boundary wire if necessary.
When the Landroid®successfully returns to the charging
base, this means the installation has been successfully
completed!
NOTE: If the boundary wire is broken during the testing or
you find you need to extend the boundary wire, please refer
to “Joining the BoundaryWire” in Owner’s Manual for
instructions.

Ready to go?
The Landroid
®
is designed for maintaining your grass at a perfect length during the season, but is not designed for deforesting a jungle.
Before it starts mowing for the first time,
1. You should mow your lawn to the desired height.
2. Make sure the operating area is clear from objects such as toys and branches...
Next spring, let your Landroid®start mowing early, when the grass is still short, so that you can avoid a preliminary grass cut.
• If your Landroid®is
outside its territory,
it will not move and
the LED error light
will be in red and
flashing, and the
machine will beep.
Just move it inside
its territory and
repeat Step 4.
• Landroid®turns
on, but the blade
disc does not
move. This is
normal, Landroid®
needs to recharge,
the blade disc does
not rotate while
it is searching for
the Charging Base
automatically.
• If your Landroid®
is inside its territory
but the LED error
light is on and in
red, please refer to
“Error Messages”
in Owner’s Manual
for solutions.
• Your Landroid®
should always
remain switched
on. If you ever
need to turn it
off, then make
sure you place it
within its boundary
area before you
switching it back
on again.
• Should your
Landroid®stop
operating, simply
restart it and
operate it as you
normally would.
NOTE: Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
