Select the percentage that corresponds to the size of the
remote area relative to the total working area. If the
remote area is for instance half of the total working area,
50% should be selected. A lower figure should be
specified if the remote area is smaller. If more areas are
used, take into account that the total figure cannot
exceed 100%.

3.17.3 Corridor width
The corridor width is a measure of how far from the
guide wire/boundary wire the robotic lawnmower is
allowed to run when it follows this to and from the
charging station. The area beside the wire, which the
robotic lawnmower uses, is called the Corridor.
The aim of operating at varying distances from the wire
is to reduce the risk of tracks forming. Therefore it is
recommended to select the widest corridor possible.
The robotic lawnmower adjusts the corridor when
following along a guide wire. The inbuilt automatic
mechanism allows the robotic lawnmower to vary the
distance from the wire depending on where in the
working area it is located. It automatically makes the
corridor narrower in narrow passages for instance.

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.
3.17.3.1 Corridor width > Boundary
The boundary corridor width is specified in intervals from
1-9. The first number in the interval specifies the
shortest distance to the boundary loop and the second
number the longest distance.
The distance the robotic lawnmower maintains from the
boundary loop varies depending on the layout of the
working area.
1. Slide the horizontal bar to specify the required
interval.
The default setting is 3-6.
3.17.3.2 Corridor width > Guide
The guide corridor width is adjusted automatically. Only
in rare occasions manual settings need to be entered.
The guide corridor width can be set between
If guide corridor width is set to
straddles the guide wire. This means that the robotic
lawnmower runs right over the guide wire.
1. Slide the horizontal bar to specify the required value.
The default setting is 9 .
3.17.4 Exit angles
Normally the robotic lawnmower leaves the charging
station in a direction within the 90°-270° exit sector. By
changing the exit angles, it makes it easier for the
robotic lawnmower to reach the working areas.
3.17.4.1 Exit angles > Sectors
The robotic lawnmower can be set for 1 or 2 exit
sectors. If the charging station is placed in a passage, 2
exit angles, for instance 70° - 110° and 250° - 290°, can
be used.
When 2 exit angles are used, there is a need to also
specify how often the robotic lawnmower must leave the
Sector 1 . This is done using the
charging station in
Proportion function by initially specifying a percentage.
For instance the percentage of 75 % means that the
robotic lawnmower leaves the charging station in
1 on 75% of the times and 25% of the times in Sector 2 .
