5.1 Operation selection

The operation selection button is symbolised by a house.
When the button has been pressed, the selected
operation mode is shown in the display. By consecutively
pressing the button many times, one can choose between
three different operation modes.
1. HOME:
Sends the robotic lawnmower to the charging station.
It remains here until another operation mode is
selected. The text Home is shown in the operation
window. When the battery is fully charged, the robotic
lawnmower will remain parked in the charging station.
The robotic lawnmower will first leave the charging
station and begin mowing again when the operation
selection is altered to AUTO.
The Home setting is also used after a new installation
or when changes are made to an existing installation
to test if the robotic lawnmower can follow the guide
wire and dock with the charging station. See 3.9 Test
docking with the charging station on page 36.
2. AUTO:
The standard, automatic operation mode where the
robotic lawnmower mows and charges automatically.
3. MAN:
When mowing secondary areas (see 3.4 Installation
of the boundary wire on page 24) the MAN setting
must be used.
If MAN is selected and the robotic lawnmower starts
when it is out on the lawn, it will mow until the battery
runs out. It will then stop and the 'Needs manual
charging' message will appear. The robotic
lawnmower must then be moved manually to the
charging station and then started manually after
charging.
If the robotic lawnmower charges in the MAN mode, it
will fully charge, move about 20 cm out of the
charging station and then stop. This indicates that it is
charged and ready to start mowing.
If the main working area has to be cut after
charging, it is appropriate to switch the operation
mode to Auto before placing the robotic
lawnmower in the charging station.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always press the START button before
closing the cover to start the robotic
lawnmower. If the START button is not
pressed, a message beep is heard and the
robotic lawnmower will not start.
