3.17.1.1 Charging station signal
The charging station signal is used so that the robotic
lawnmower knows that it is in the vicinity of the charging
station. The default setting for the charging station signal
is Max but in rare cases, there can be reasons for
reducing the charging station signal. See example
below.
3.17.1.2 Follow boundary wire
If the robotic lawnmower cannot find the charging station
signal, it starts to search for the guide wires. If it still
cannot find the charging station, the robotic lawnmower
can follow the boundary wire back. The recommended
setting is between 10-20 minutes.
3.17.1.3 Follow guide wire
If the robotic lawnmower cannot find the charging station
signal, it starts to search for the guide wires. It is
recommended to have a short time delay to reduce the
time when the robotic lawnmower is searching out on
the lawn. However, if the robotic lawnmower always
uses the guide wires there is a greater risk that tracks
are formed than if it uses the charging station signal.
The delay time is normally between 0 and 10 minutes. It
is possible to have the same time delay for all guide
wires.

3.17.2 Lawn coverage
This menu function is used to steer the robotic
lawnmower to remote parts of a working area. This
important function is used to maintain an even mowing
result in the entire working area. The default settings
can be used for many working areas. In more complex
gardens operation can be improved by carrying out
some of the manual settings below.

working area. Automower
automatically set distance and proportion for hard to
reach parts of the working area.
Note: If the same robotic lawnmower is used for two or
more charging stations that are close together
(neighbors for instance), the GPS assisted navigation
can only be used in one of the working areas. Otherwise
the digital map can be misleading and the robotic
lawnmower's lawn coverage can therefore be reduced.
3.17.2.2 Area 1-5
Up to 5 remote areas can be set. You must first disable
GPS assisted navigation if you want to use manual
settings. When you disable GPS assisted navigation the
GPS map is automatically reset.
1. Tap the On/Off bar to disable GPS assisted
Note: When GPS assisted navigation is enabled it is
used as long as there is a GPS service - even if manual
settings have been made. Only when GPS service is not
available, the manual settings are used.

Each area can be enabled/disabled, without having to
reenter the settings.
