Start Mowing Menu

CAUTION: When starting up the Robotic Mower for the fi rst
time after installing the wires in the work area as advance
preparation, be sure to have the Robotic Mower automatically
depart once from the docked state with the charging station.
When the Robotic Mower automatically departs from the charging
station, it saves the magnetic fi eld in its memory and performs
autonomous control so that docking operation is performed properly
thereafter. If this task is not performed, the Robotic Mower may not
execute docking properly when returning, or may otherwise not
function properly.
Select and execute one of the following two methods to have the
Robotic Mower automatically depart from the charging station.
• Dock the fully charged Robotic Mower with the charging station
within the pre-scheduled operation time (or at any time when
using the [Deactivate schedules] sub menu), and then issue
the start instruction using the [Start mowing] menu. For details,
refer to "Start Mowing Menu" (Page 19).
• Tentatively register the departure method in the [Mower depart-
ing points] sub menu of the [Navigation preferences] menu,
and perform test navigation. For details, refer to "Selecting the
departure method from the charging station" (Page 23).

Mowing with automatic operation and charging

[Top menu] > [Start mowing] > [Auto mowing]
The lawn of the main area enclosed by the boundary wire is mowed
automatically. When this menu is selected, the Robotic Mower is
automatically controlled according to the contents set by each menu.
Even if the remaining battery capacity becomes low, the Robotic
Mower can automatically repeat charging and continue to neatly mow
the lawn within the area.
About the main area
This is the mowing work area that has the charging station located
within its boundary. The Robotic Mower continues to navigate ran-
domly and mow the lawn within this area while repeatedly returning
and departing centering on the charging station.
