3.5 Skipping Edge Mowing
The Robomow provides a means that will allow you to skip the edge mowing process and start
directly with the scanning (mowing) process. In order to do this, simply press the 'GO' button two
times at the initial startup of the mower. Pressing 'GO' the second time immediately following the first
press will tell the mower to skip mowing the edge.

3.6 Mowing Complete
When the Robomow has operated the allotted time, it will simply stop in the lawn, waiting for you to
drive it back home and plug it into the charger, ready for the next mowing session. As discussed
earlier, there will always be plenty of Power Pack energy available to drive the mower back to the
area where it is stored and charged. See Chapter 4, Charging for more on charging instructions. The
LCD will display a text message as seen in Figure 3.7 if the mowing time is set to the default time of
'MAX' or the message as shown in Figure 3.8 if the mowing time has been selected to any time other
than 'MAX'.

If the Robomow has completed its mowing and it is more than 20 minutes before you arrive to move it,
the LCD screen will be blank. The Robomow will shut itself down into a sleep mode after 20 minutes
of inactivity at all times. This is an energy saving feature. Pressing the 'GO' button or removing the
Manual Controller from the holder will 'wake up' the Robomow and display the message that was on
the LCD when it went into sleep mode. In this case, either the message in Figure 3.7 or 3.8.
3.7 Driving and Navigation
The Robomow is equipped with a Manual Controller that allows you to easily drive it from the lawn
back to a storage area when not in use. It also allows you to manually engage the mowing blades,
and while driving, to trim small areas of grass.
