5 Description of Operation
■ If the power supply's connecting cable is faulty
or damaged:
► Replace power supply.
■ If the plug of the diagnostic socket on the bot‐
tom of the robot mower does not fit correctly,
moisture and dirt can penetrate the robot
mower. The robot mower may be damaged.
► Check the fit of the plug during each clean‐
ing and blade change.
► Do not operate the robot mower with a
missing or damaged plug.

Functional description
1
The robot mower mows the grass in randomly
selected paths. It is necessary to route a perime‐
ter wire (1) so the robot mower can identify the
boundaries of the mowing area.
The perimeter wire (1) transmits a signal to the
robot mower. The signal is generated by the
docking station.
The robot mower identifies fixed obstacles (2) in
the mowing area using ultrasound sensors and a
bump sensor.
If the robot mower identifies a fixed obstacle (2),
it will slow down, bump into the fixed obstacle
and then continue to move in a different direc‐
tion.
Areas (3) the robot mower must not navigate and
obstacles it must not come into contact with must
be blocked off from the remaining mowing area
with the help of the perimeter wire (1).
If the robot mower identifies a blocked-off
area (3), it will slow down and then continue to
move in a different direction.
In mowing operation, the robotic mower leaves
the docking station by itself and mows the lawn.
The robotic mower is operated by the
®
MY iMOW
app and the buttons in the control
panel on the robotic mower. Light strips on the
robotic mower as well as an artificially generated

voice output provide information about the cur‐
rent status of the robotic mower.

If the battery's state of charge is low, the robotic
mower will search for the nearest guide wire (4)
during the mowing operation. If a guide wire (4)
is recognized, the robotic mower will return to the
docking station by itself. The docking station
recharges the battery. At least one guide wire (4)
must be installed in the mowing area. A maxi‐
mum of two guide wires can be installed. If the
mowing operation is canceled or the battery must
be charged, the robotic mower can be sent
directly back to the docking station using the
®
MY iMOW
app or HOME pushbutton.

Up to three starting points (5) can be specified
on a guide wire (4). The robotic mower can move
specifically to the respective starting point and
start mowing from there.
The mowing area can be divided into several
zones (example: A and B) by the guide wire (4).
The zones are defined by a starting point (5).
The robotic mower can be directed from the
selected starting point to the left or right into the
desired zone. The robotic mower can then mow
specifically in the selected zone. The starting
points and zones are managed in the
®
MY iMOW
app and can be taking into account
in the mowing plan.
