Testing selected settings can be seen as a natural part
of the installation.

Using the
the farthest distance from the guide wire allowed by the
selected corridor width.
3.20.2.6 Test: Area 1, 2 or 3
To test the selected settings:
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. Use the down and the right/left arrow keys to select
the area to be tested from the
overview screen. Press OK.
More and press OK.
3. Select
Test and press OK.
4. Select
5. Press START and close the hatch.
6. The robotic lawnmower will now leave the charging
station and begin following the guide wire toward the
remote area. Check that the robotic lawnmower can
follow the guide wire all along the required distance.
7. The test is approved when the robotic lawnmower
can follow the guide wire to the required starting
point without any problem.
3.20.2.7 How to measure the distance to a remote area
1. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.

3.20.3 Find charging station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of the following three
ways: Guide, Boundary loop and Charging station. The
factory settings are set so that these 3 search options
are automatically combined to find the charging station
as quickly as possible but also with a minimum risk of
tracks forming.
In very complex gardens e.g. with many areas joined by
narrow passages, the amount of time required to find the
charging station is decreased by carrying out a number
of the manual settings outlined below.
The robotic lawnmower always starts the search for the
charging station using an irregular search method.
When the robotic lawnmower still cannot find the
charging station after a specific period of irregular
searching, it also starts to search for the guide wires and
after a further period also the boundary wire to follow
one of them into the charging station instead. This time
is specified in minutes and is known as delay time.
Example:
3 minute delay for Guide and 11 minutes for the
boundary loop. The robotic lawnmower then searches
irregularly for 3 minutes and then searches for the guide
wires for 8 minutes. If it has not found a guide wire after
this period, the robotic lawnmower now also searches
for the boundary loop.
It is possible of course to specify the same delay time for
both the guide wires and boundary loop, for instance 5
minutes. The robotic lawnmower then searches
irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not find the
charging station, it continues to search either by
following the guide wires or the boundary loop,
depending on which one it reaches first.
In general a long delay time decreases the risk of tracks
forming (the robotic lawnmower will find the charging
station more often through irregular searches) but gives
longer search times. A short delay time gives the
opposite effect, i.e. short search times with increased
risk of tracks forming along the guide wires and/or
boundary wires.
3.20.3.1 Overview
This overview summarises the selected settings for each
search method. To edit the settings for a method, select
the method using left and right arrow keys followed by
OK.
