4.7.6. CONFIGURATION OF THE CHARGING BASE

Before using the robot lawn mower, the charging base must be configured, (see par. 4.7.3).

4.7.7. CALIBRATION OF THE CHARGING BASE

Immediately after completing the charging base set-up, it is mandatory and required by the app to
calibrate the return to base position.
The calibration allows the robot lawn mower to determine the correct alignment to the charging contacts,
using the reading of the radio signal emitted by the antenna located underneath the base of the charging
base.
Procedure:
1. Place the robot lawn mower on the charging base and connect it to the charging contacts.
2. If necessary, lift the robot lawn mower slightly by the rear handle and align it with the charging base to
make sure it is perfectly aligned with it.
3. Check on the robot lawn mower keypad whether the 'ALARM' light icon is switched off, if not, reset the
alarms before proceeding (see section 5.3.7).
4. Close the cover.
5. Start the calibration following the App Calibration Wizard.
6. Wait until a calibration confirmation message appears.
NOTE: If the procedure is not completed within 5 minutes after connecting the robot lawn mower
to the charging contacts, the calibration is cancelled. It is necessary to disconnect the robot from
the charging contacts and repeat the procedure from step 1.

4.7.8. INITIALIZATION OF THE ROBOT LAWN MOWER

The initialization of the robot lawn mower is mandatory and required by the app:
• When starting the product for the first time.
