6. MENU FUNCTIONS

Backlight , R40Li

To indicate where the robotic lawnmower is at night in the working area, it is possible to allow the display to remain on when the robotic lawnmower is in operation.

1.Select Backlight , R40Li in the menu and press OK.

2.Select one of the following options:

Auto: The display is lit for 1 minute after the latest key press.

ON: The display is lit all the time when the robotic lawnmower operates. The display is not lit when the robotic lawnmower is stopped due for instance to a timer setting or possible disruption.

Remote start, R40Li

One important function with the guide wire is the capacity to steer the robotic lawnmower to remote garden areas when required. This function is very useful in gardens where, for instance, the front and back are joined by a narrow passage where the charging station cannot be installed.

With this function activated, (any option other than Never is selected) the robotic lawnmower will follow the guide wire from the charging station to the point where the guide wire connects to the boundary wire. It begins to mow when it reaches this point. How often it must follow the guide wire from the charging station is selected as a proportion of the total number of times it leaves the charging station. At all other times, the robotic lawnmower leaves the charging station in the standard manner and starts to mow.

The following five options can be selected;

Never (0%)

Rarely (approx. 20%)

Medium (approx. 50%)

Often (approx. 80%)

Always (100%)

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 less than half of the total working area, then Rarely must be selected. If the remote area is for instance half of the total working area, Medium must be selected. Compare with the examples in 7. Garden examples on page 54.

The default setting is Rarely.

Both models are powered by a robust lithium-ion battery, providing efficient and quiet operation while ensuring minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment.

One of the standout features of these robotic mowers is their intelligent navigation system. The R40Li and R70Li are equipped with a smart sensor technology that allows them to efficiently map and navigate the garden, avoiding obstacles and adjusting their mowing paths as needed. This ensures that every corner of the lawn is trimmed without missing patches or damaging plants.

Both mowers come with a programmable timer, which allows users to set specific days and times for mowing, ensuring that the lawn is always well-maintained. The rain sensor is another valuable feature, automatically detecting wet conditions and returning to the charging station to prevent unwanted damage to the lawn.

Ease of use is a priority with the Gardena R40Li and R70Li. They are equipped with intuitive controls, allowing users to easily customize settings and manage their mowing schedules. The mow height can be easily adjusted, giving homeowners the flexibility to achieve their desired grass length.

Safety is another critical aspect of these robotic mowers. Both models feature an emergency stop function and a lift sensor that halts operation if the mower is lifted or tilted, providing peace of mind to users with pets and children.

Moreover, the mowers' compact design and highly maneuverable nature allow them to operate in tight spaces and navigate narrow passages with ease. Their durable construction ensures reliability and longevity, making them a worthwhile investment for any garden enthusiast.

In summary, the Gardena R40Li and R70Li robotic lawn mowers provide an excellent combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and efficient performance, making lawn care effortless and enjoyable.
