4. USE
4.2 Using the timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.4 Timer
(2) on page 49) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to
get the maximum life from your Automower
®
.
For example, the quality of your lawn will improve if it is
mown every other day instead of 12 hours each day. In
addition, the grass benefits from resting completely
during at least a three-day period once a month.
4.3 Using GPS-communication
A SIM card is required to use the device. This is
normally purchased by the end user and fitted then in
Automower
®
by the dealer, together with the GPS
communication unit. The SIM card, assembly and
installation are normally not included in the price of the
GPS unit or the mower.
When the SIM card is installed, the administrator's
phone number must be entered before the GPS
communication unit can be used for the first time.
Enter the required administrator's phone number by
sending an SMS to Automower
®
with the command
Spn1 followed by the phone number, e.g. Spn1
[phone]. The GPS unit confirms the new
administrator phone number by sending an SMS back
with the message Set phone number 1 OK. This phone
number is essential to operate the unit. The
administrator can enter a further four phone numbers
for communicating with the mower (see table on page
41).
SMS feature
In cases where an error message is displayed in the
mower display, the GPS communication unit sends an
SMS with the same error message. A number of
messages are presented in chapter 9.1 Fault
messages (page 69).
The following SMS can be sent to Automower
®
to
change settings or enquire of settings and status.
The commands that start with the letter S (Set) change
a setting and commands beginning with an R (Read)
read settings or status.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note that it is important to write the
messages exactly as outlined in the tables
below, with spaces, dots and colons in the
correct manner. All commands are confirmed
by Automower
®
sending back an SMS.
