• Press the ON/OFF button to turn the robotic
lawnmower off.
4.1.1 The indicator lamp
The indicator lamp on the ON/OFF button is an
important status indicator:
• The robotic lawnmower is active if the indicator lamp
lights continuously.
• The robotic lawnmower is in standby if the indicator
lamp flashes. This means that the operator must
press the ON/OFF button to make the robotic
lawnmower active again.
• The robotic lawnmower is disabled when the
indicator lamp is not lit.
WARNING: It is only safe to carry out inspection
or maintenance on the robotic lawnmower when
the robotic lawnmower is disabled. The robotic
lawnmower is disabled when the lamp on the
ON/OFF button is not lit.

.
6. Close the hatch.
Note: If the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging
station, the robotic lawnmower will only leave the
charging station when the battery is fully charged and if
the schedule allows the robotic lawnmower to operate.
4.3 Operating modes
When the Mode button is pressed the following
operating modes can be selected:
• Main area
• Secondary area (2nd area)
• Park
• Park / Schedule
• Override schedule
4.3.1 Operating mode - Main area
Main area
is the standard operating mode where the
robotic lawnmower mows and charges automatically.
4.3.2 Operating mode - 2nd area
To mow secondary areas the operating mode
2nd area
must be chosen. Selecting
2nd area
means that the
robotic lawnmower mows until the battery is empty.
If the robotic lawnmower is charged in the
2nd area
mode, it will fully charge, drive out about 50 cm and then
stop. This indicates that the robotic lawnmower is
charged and ready to start mowing. If the main working
area is to be cut after charging, it is recommended to
change the operating mode to
Main area
before placing
the robotic lawnmower back in the charging station.
