2. PRESENTATION
The control panel on the top of Automower ® is where
you manage all the mower settings. The main switch
is also located on the control panel. Open the control
panel cover by pressing down the STOP button.
When the main switch is turned ON for the first time, a
start-up sequence begins which includes: selection of
the language, time format, date format and four digit
PIN code, plus setting of the time and date, see
page 31.
The selected PIN code must then be entered each
time the main switch is moved to the ON position.
This theft-prevention function is called Time lock
(4-1-2) and Automower has this function activated as
®
a default setting. The function also means that the
mower stops mowing after a set number of days and
will not continue until the correct PIN code has been
entered. The function can be deactivated or changed
as required. For more information about Time lock
(4-1-2), see page 58.
Automower can enter a sleep mode to save power.
®
The display on the control panel is then completely
dimmed.
The sleep mode is activated 25 minutes after the
STOP button has been pressed and then not reset to
the operating mode. Automower is then activated by
®
switching the main switch off and on.
The sleep mode can also be activated in the event of
a fault occurring during mowing or charging and
which is not rectified within 25 minutes. Automower ®
is then activated by pressing the STOP button.
Movement pattern
The mower's movement pattern is irregular and is
determined by Automower itself. A movement
®
pattern is never repeated. This mowing system
means the lawn is mown equally without any mowing
lines.
If Automower enters an area where it senses the
®
grass is longer than earlier, it can change the
movement pattern. It can then mow in a square
pattern to cover the area of longer grass more
systematically.
When Automower ® mows in a square pattern, this is
known as square mode cutting. The mower must
have been operational for more than 6 hours in order
for Automower to start square mode cutting.
