3.17.1.3 Area 1, 2 or 3 > How often?
How often the robotic lawnmower must be steered to the
remote area is selected as a proportion of the total
number of times it leaves the charging station. At all
other times, the robotic lawnmower starts to mow at the
charging station.
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% must be selected. A lower figure must be specified
if the remote area is smaller. If more areas are used,
take into account that the total figure cannot exceed
100%.

3.17.1.4 Area 1, 2 or 3 > Disable
Each area can be disabled and enabled without having
to reenter the settings. Select
Disable
and press OK.
3.17.1.5 Area 1, 2 or 3 > More > Test
Testing selected settings can be seen as a natural part
of the installation.
Using the
Test
function, the robotic lawnmower travels
the farthest distance from the guide wire allowed by the
selected corridor width.
3.17.1.6 Test: Area 1, 2 or 3
To test the selected settings:
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. Use the down and the right/left arrow keys to select
the area to be tested from the
Lawn coverage
overview
screen. Press OK.
3. Select
More
and press OK.
4. Select
Test
and press OK.
5. Press START and close the hatch.
6. The robotic lawnmower will now leave the charging
station and begin following the guide wire toward the
remote area. Check that the robotic lawnmower can
follow the guide wire all along the required distance.
7. The test is approved when the robotic lawnmower
can follow the guide wire to the required starting
point without any problem.
3.17.1.7 How to measure the distance to a remote area
1. Park the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. In the
Area 1, 2 or 3
>
How far?
menu function, enter
a distance which beyond any doubt exceeds the real
figure. The maximum distance that can be entered is
500 metres.
3. Select
Area 1, 2 or 3
>

>
Test
and press OK.
4. Press START and close the hatch.
5. Press STOP at the required position. The distance is
now shown in the display. This figure can now be
saved in

3.17.2 Find charging station
The robotic lawnmower can be set to search for the
charging station in one or more of the following three
ways: Guide, Boundary loop and Charging station. The
factory settings are set so that these 3 search options
are automatically combined to find the charging station
as quickly as possible but also with a minimum risk of
tracks forming.
In very complex gardens e.g. with many areas joined by
narrow passages, the amount of time required to find the
charging station is decreased by carrying out a number
of the manual settings outlined below.
The robotic lawnmower always starts the search for the
charging station using an irregular search method.
When the robotic lawnmower still cannot find the
charging station after a specific period of irregular
searching, it also starts to search for the guide wires and
after a further period also the boundary wire to follow
one of them into the charging station instead. This time
is specified in minutes and is known as delay time.
Example:
3 minute delay for Guide and 11 minutes for the
boundary loop. The robotic lawnmower then searches
